The fairy responds really quick, but it still suffers from a huge delay when you cast whispering dawn and fey illumination back-to-back.

Seraph still digs out when you try to cast consolation right before she times out.

Removed MP from energy drain and left that measly HP gain; why???

To get people to stop using their AF stacks for damage when they want players to use them for the heals. I disagree with how they went about this though, cuz now keeping AF on CD is more important and thereby more punishing if you screw it up, which is super simple to avoid but for a role they absolutely want to be less punishing they just made SCH potentially more punishing for people who want to pick up and learn SCH. If they wanted to incentivize the healer stratagems they should have shifted the MP restore to them. An AST is gonna play cards anyways hence why they gave draw a MP restore. A SCH is gonna use AF stacks anyways and if they REALLY wanted to dis-incentivize ED usages they should have just shifted the MP recovery to the healer stratagems or added a new Barrier stratagem with a MP restore, that way you aren't over healing and doing what you should be doing anyways as a shield healer which is provide shields. I really hope they revert ED MP restore, the fact its 100 potency per ED now makes it really dumb as a damage ability. All 3 of them equals about 1 Broil (using ShB potencies cuz i cant recall the EW potencies for Broil off the top of my head).

And I would rather the MP restore be on the healer stratagems or my dumb hypothetical barrier one ideally. But reverting ED is the simplest fix they could do to address it, especially since the first thing you do upon rez is hit AF to try and top yourself and your party back up. But now that AF is the only MP restore/manipulation within the Job itself its gonna lead to SCHs getting rez'd using AF then getting KO'd again except next time they rez its on CD. AF gating your best heals and your only non role MP restoration is just a bit too much of a bottle neck in my eyes.

Still gonna play SCH but I can see potential issues arising from their ED change that might necessitate them to fix it, an opportunity that could be afforded to other areas of SCH/another Job who needs adjustments like DRK for example.
