Miasma II was clunky and tacked on -- literally tacked on, in fact -- and it forced the player to reposition when they needed to use it, which was awkward when you were dodging mechanics, and only acceptable when something was on farm..
Ruin II was there for double weaving and situations where you wanted to weave but couldn't be in range of the boss for some reason. It's literally another point of optimization that rewards good knowledge of the fight and ability usage.

Nor was it really required to use Miasma II if you didn't want to in a vast majority of content. That's what annoys me with this whole situation. Prior to ShB, if a SCH wanted to stand around and be a "pure healer", they could do so in most content. If they wanted an easy DPS rotation...they could brainlessly spam broil to their heart's content. That people are cheering the collapse of the ceiling that they were never really required to chase is frankly absurd.
