"Most of scholar's capabilities weren't significantly changed. However, its shield-based playstyle has been shifted to include more direct healing, and makes it easier for scholar to focus more on a heal-oriented playstyle. Instead of focusing on dealing damage while relying on the other healer to provide healing, both healers will be able support each other in the healing role. Additionally, Embrace can no longer be used repetitively, as we’d like to move away from using macros to repeatedly cast Embrace."

This was a direct quote in the lead-up to Shadowbringers about how they were changing SCH. It's sitting here implying that SCH at the time weren't healing, even though SCH were through oGCD skills all the time. I stand by what I said about them not being aware of how we play the jobs, because this sure didn't sit well with me as an outlook on healers.
