Changing all of it to be just like SGE would be homogenizing them even more and healers are the most homogenized of any role already.
    I fail to agree with the "homogenizing it to be like SGE" argument when considering these are all issues that existed in ShB or before, when SGE didn't exist. Is the argument supposed to really be that because SGE doesn't have conflicting skills that lock you out of being able to heal efficiently, that letting SCH not have clunky skills that work against each other is a bad thing? Besides, these buttons are different to begin with; letting Eos cast other faerie heals while using Fey Union isn't going to be "homogenized" to be like Haima, it's just going to allow you to not need to continually target and re-target a party member. There's no upside to having these things not work properly when other healers can do it without fighting against their kit.

    Regardless of this though, there's 0 reason that Seraph should not be able to use Fey Blessing. It's not on the Faerie Gauge anymore, so why is Seraph locked out of a faerie heal?

    A good part of it is the opportunity it provides them to grow. They have to remember to use their heals such as Whispering Dawn before pressing Dissipation or Fey Union. Dissipation does increase healing potency, so if you urgently need to heal you can spend the extra aetherflow on buffed heals.
    Dissipation does not buff your Aetherflow heals, it buffs your GCD heals. Aetherflow is unaffected by it. SCH uses Dissipation as a DPS cooldown for the extra Energy Drains; if you're trying to heal with Dissipation's Aetherflow stack, Indom, Soil and Excog are likely going to be on CD, meaning it really only gives you more Lustrates.

    They might be rare, but there are still going to be situations where you need to run for more than 2.5s and stopping to cast for 1.5s would get you killed. Ruin II is still worthwhile.
    Ruin II is just a punishment to use. Worthwhile buttons in a kit should not be negated to "as you get better, you never want to hit this button." Similarly, this is the reason buttons like Physick are also bad. Ruin II was necessary in ShB for SCH to function, and it isn't anymore and has received zero updates or changes.

    Oh, but if we're still talking about clunk with Scholar, it should be mentioned that you can't even build faerie gauge while your faerie is Dissipated. Why is this not built through the Scholar instead of relying on your faerie being active? Dissipation locks you out of Energy Drain and all of your Aetherflow heals building gauge. What a great design.

    I was referring to the rest of the ideas. Fey Union not being interrupted by other heals would help because it is immediately obvious how annoying it can be.

    Dissipation does not buff your Aetherflow heals, it buffs your GCD heals. Aetherflow is unaffected by it.
    It could be changed or made clearer then, but it's not that much of a problem because most of the time, any heal is good enough even if it's not buffed.

    it should be mentioned that you can't even build faerie gauge while your faerie is Dissipated. Why is this not built through the Scholar instead of relying on your faerie being active?
    It's probably so that a Scholar that forgot to summon their fairie can't build fairie gauge when there is no fairie. It should change for Dissipation but I can see why it is happening. It may just be easier for them to make it impossible for the fairie to not be summoned because it not being summoned after dying is a problem.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."
