Balance between SGE and SCH

[dezzmont]

All it takes is one question to solve that 'sigh': "Hey, I'll be leaving the Succor/E.Prognosis duty to you, is that fine?"

If it's a party of randoms in via DF, all you have to determine is whether your co-SGE/SCH will use their GCD shield really often or not. Every other kits in their arsenals besides their GCD spells works together.

While this is true it is objectively bad design that they clash this bad. Obviously it wouldn't be good for shield stacks to totally trivialize content either but it would be nice if they could find an elegant way to solve 'shield collisions,' which have always been a problem, though that may be more a back end sorta issue rather than a class design issue.

And they definitely do need to pass over SCH and clean up how all the fairy abilities interact with each other and get rid of all those 'remove all those fairy abilities to get some sort of benefit in exchange' effects. It is conceptually interesting for SCH to say... have a super-mode where they can't use their fairy but get more healing and aetherflow, or replace their fairy with a different pool of effects, but people... kinda wanna use the abilities of the fairy when playing the class with the fairy, wildly enough, and I would rather the job be more designed around its interaction with its shield modifications and ability to make the fairy do stuff to set you up for success than eating it to spam ED 3 more times.

Couldn't agree more there. Ironically the PvP counterpart of Dissipation looks more interesting despite being simpler effect wise.
