The dps check of P9S is roughly 64k. A perfectly average SCH currently does about 5600 dps. A 10% reduction in that is 560 dps, losing that 10% is equivalent to 0.875% of the dps check. Why are people so up in arms about this? 0.875% is so insignificant that you can't even pin the blame on the healer without looking like a tool. A 1% difference is even worse, that's 0.175% of the dps check required, that's an absolute non-issue.
The point you, myself, and many others here are missing is that it really has nothing to do with the average player's ability to clear. If we were to do something like Roe's White Mage rework, the problem is that someone who engages with the added tools of Banish and the like is going to be numerically better than someone who just wants to spam Glare, or do as much as White Mage currently does and nothing further, regardless of how that does or doesn't influence clear rates.
