Have we given up on SCH?

[Sloprano]

It irritates me that "angry healers" is kind of a becoming a meme. Over in the 5.08 update comment thread they joke about how angry healers are going to be that they didn't get any fixes, then the dps mains proceed to complain about how their class still doesn't do enough damage, or feels too clunky to play, or whatever. Are our opinions less valid than theirs (in their eyes) because there are more of us trying to be heard? Because we've been asking for longer and therefore our requests are getting repetitive? Because they don't care about our issues and therefore we are an annoyance?

And yet, because of that perception any healer that tried to get a following being critical of the current healers would be ignored by the non-healer community at best and actively shouted down at worst.

Angry healers have been a long-time thing, have you gotten your "Angry Healers" monthly? To answer your OP, no, I'm still championing for SCH changes though that sort of evolved because I want to have 1. A healer with almost unlimited potential and fights that makes me have to think of how to utilize it all. 2. Fights that require a lot of movement 3. Make all the non-end game content be about the content not the carrot daily reward at the end with random dangerous patrols and chest with random loot and xp.

It has been disheartning to go now two months and neither gotten a concern raised at LLP or even a community manager just popping in going "Hey, how are you enjoying healers?" or "We are not planing any changes right now." The silence is deafing. I am still reminded of how gutted SCH is every time I log in to do stuff with the FC, which is great for taking the mind of, and now even some new players picking up sch are complaining about having nothing to do bu Ruin spam.

It started with Stormblood and I'm still in favor of getting 3.0 Scholar back. I'm more than happy to see Recitation, Catalyze, Fey Blessing, Excog, Fey Union go in return for the versatility of the slow dots, slow/heavy/virus debuffs, pet hotbar with own gcd, Selene. List just keeps on growing. If it is hard to balance around the finely tuned raid fights the current skillset could be a seperate system like PvP they tweak by the numbers.
