It's also ironic that a SCH (which has a "now raid does more damage" button) wouldn't want to see it on other jobs.
How is that ironic.

To clarify, I don't like how Chain Stratagem works, personally. I'd rather have to build up to it with a proper job gauge, than simply press a button. How Chain Stratagem works right now makes it bland and unsatisfying. But I still think SCH should be the unique healer to have to manage debuffs on enemies as its own identity.

Just like AST should be the unique healer to manage buffs on allies as its idenitity.

None of that means WHM should be the baby healer. None of that means WHM should be weakest or the simplest. I think WHM should have its own identity as a powerful nuker. Reliant on strong personal dps and a satisfying rotation that allows it to weave damage and healing together.
