The worst part was they were told, vehemently, before release that it was a terrible idea. Players tested it, said SCH didn't feel right without ED.

Yet they still released SCH without energy drain, and, to nobody's surprise other than SE SCH did not work. Shocking innit?

Yet I'm 100% convinced they'll remove ED from SCH again come 6.0 and this time we won't get it back. Instead it'll be something dumb like "access stacks turn into MP" and just make SCH even less interesting.
Honestly see that happening too, along with Whm losing cure 3 to cross role, have aero 3 re-package to be a Holy upgrade, Ast to get more ogcds that benefit Diurnal more than Nocturnal further invalidating it, all the while all 3 healers get more ogcd heals, which makes cure 2/benefic 2/adlo nigh useless as content design won't change, and our spam goes from 60%-90% of our time to 80%-100%.

At which point SE will finally say we'll listen to feedback and give back one DoT. >_> yes I have that little faith in healer design from the Devs over 5 years of Nocturnal never being good enough, whm getting nothing to combat what the other healers bring on their own merits(essentially the other 2 had to be gutted for Whm to shine that is patooky backwards design philosophy), and the multiple removal of sch DoTs in multiple expansions.
