Energy drain wasn't given back to us because SCH needed a dump skill. It was given back to assist with MP regeneration. I know this seemed like a small victory for SCHs, but yeah, no. Current Ruin 2 basically allows the SCH to tie 200 potency damage to any of its oGCD abilities. ED, Lustrate, Sacred Soil, you name it. Again, they have many. Knowing this, the devs ripped ED from SCH. Their apparent distaste for SCH damage and lack of foresight lead to SCH having some MP issues at the start of ShB, so they had no choice but to give it back, and did so with wet noodle damage.

In short, where the players see, "We need a dump skill that isn't healing". The devs see, "You're doing too much damage and need to heal more".
