Give Miasma and Bane back to Scholar Yoshida, I am no longer asking nicely

Scholar went from my go to healer in Stormblood to a job I no longer acknowledge exists. All the overpowered healing tools in the world mean nothing if there is no need for me to use them. Instead all I can do as a Scholar is spam visually unimpressive attacks, all while ignoring the Faerie Gauge which I understand has been made even more irrelevant than it already was. There is no reason for me to switch to the job while Sage exists - though even Sage is guilty of having nothing to do despite being marketed as a more engaging healer in the leadup to Endwalker.

I was really hoping when they announced that SMN was losing the DoTs that it meant Miasma and Bane would return to SCH, as I always felt like the DoTs fit SCH way more than SMN and the entirety of SCH's job quest lore being around the Tonberry plague and the Scholars studying plagues and diseases to try and figure out a cure... but nope! Can't expect them to do something SCH players have been wanting back for years that would be minimal effort, lets give them more heal button bloat, Scholars enjoy only having 1 AoE button! It would have even been a way to say "hey, if you liked Bio and Miasma management gameplay on SMN in ShB, SCH has that again in EW! Why not try that, you have it leveled with ACN already!" But healers can't have anything fun, forever doomed to the mindless tedium of 1-1-1-1 because healers like heal buttons or something, right?

At least we finally got a capstone skill that doesn't lock us out of all of our previous capstones, that's nice I guess @-@
