There's one thing about Physick being weak, but it's another thing entirely to just... have to rely on something weaker than Cure I as a main form of healing when a shield is already up. WHM doesn't even want to use Cure I. SCH only has a Cure I and costly shields when it doesn't have Aetherflow or fairy skills. When it comes to Doom mechanics that require players to be at full health, and dealing with attacks that ignore shields (percentage based attacks and attacks that drop you to really low), SCH struggles to heal that. Yes, SCH is meant to shield, but there are things that shields just don't help with.
emergency tactics exists, you really never rely on physick for anything unless youre super low level, and even then its a stretch. even in big pulls after you run out of absolutely everything, its adlo > physick > adlo, but to reach that point a lot of things have to have gone wrong

doom mechanics are also fine because scholar has indom, recitation and emergency tactics. and also a cohealer


i dont think deleting aetherflow would solve scholars current problems, at least from a gameplay standpoint. even removing the aetherflow opportunity cost, the biggest issue with scholars healing is it has no good actions for weaving. if scholars healing actions werent tied to a resource it would *still* be a loss to use them because ruin ii is too weak compared to broil. if the devs wanted scholars to heal more they shouldve buffed ruin 2, not broil.
