A question for SCH mains and enjoyers

[Renathras]

As a surprise to no one, I don't really like Aetherflow = damage, Faerie gauge = healing, especially if you only get the latter from the former. In general, I oppose the idea of "damage leads to healing" since that means "when you can't do damage, you're locked out of healing", which is bad. The only exception I make is if you do something like a RIFT Chloromancer who's entirely built from the ground up to heal that way. Doing it with SCH now wouldn't just require a rework, but a complete rework and shifting entirely how the Job works and is designed in focus and philosophy.

I'm kind of with Vetch that I love the concept of stuff like Aetherflow, but they're so weak as to be irrelevant.

...which is REALLY odd considering how ridiculously OP our heals in general are that this high level once endcap ability that requires channeling and a resource and locks Eos out of using other abilities, that of all abilities, it wasn't made OP for whatever reason.

Supersnow - one proposal I made (for freeing up a button or two) was combining Fey Blessing with Whispering Dawn. Basically make it a poor man's Medica 2 on a 1 min CD. I've also seen people suggest making Physic upgrade into Leeches+ (Esuna + Cure; for all 4 Healers, actually)

In a situation like this there would be no situation where you couldn’t use the healing half if the damage came first, it’s basically just an expanded form of kardia, nobody argues soteria is useless because if you can’t do damage you can’t use soteria, not every heal should be useful in every situation and SCH is already the healer that exemplifies that the most, we really don’t need a healer equivalent of WAR

As for combining WD with FB I wouldn’t be opposed to it though those are skills I will often use separately, it’s been very long since I use fey illumination for any other reason than combining it with dissipation for a spreadlo buff
