I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

To be clear, here, I'm not against reframing them to have more of a buff emphasis. I meant only to point out that the DoTs were very much interlinked with SCH's identity (albeit through ACN / the way XIV specifically chose to set up SCH magical arts, just like the natural-astral elements and White Magic are likewise interlinked in XIV) and why people may therefore feel strongly about them.

I'd agree that the intersections between both is where SCH would probably feel the most iconic and fleshed out. Current Galvanize doesn't really do any more with its current namesake than Bio/Miasma do/did.

For instance, between SGE and SCH, I would think the first would be more about multi-tasking with individually weak but highly responsive actions through its nouliths that could coalesce into synergetic techniques at time, while SCH's foresight would be a bit more long-sighted and more about investments into individual units to be exploited later.

Back in the day, I'd say DoTs were a pretty big part of SCH gameplay and there's ample opportunity for them to be more interestingly involved, but imo it'd be far from ideal to just throw the DoTs and Bane back onto the kit, improvement though it would be.
