From there, they'd just need to find a way to reincorporate some of SCH's old oGCDs like Bane and Shadowflare and SCH would be fine in regards to its AoE potential.
Speaking from someone who started right at ShB's launch, I always thought Bane was really cool on SMN and it was my favorite AoE action to play with on any job. I thought it felt satisfying and I liked how SMN could use it's single target tools in both it's ST/AoE rotations. It's a bummer that they took these things away from SCH and didn't replace them with anything or give them back after SMN was stripped of them as well, especially considering the state of SCH's AoE. It's hard not to notice how boring SCH's AoE 'rotation' is when all of the other healers use some of their AoE DPS tools in their ST rotations as well, and SCH doesn't have that.

But hey I guess SCH being really good numbers wise makes up for it being an absolute bore, or something.
