I know you're very 'in SGE's corner' but it's shields are exactly as strong as SCH's, with only one exception: the comparison between Deploy-Adlo and Zoe-E.Prog. Eukrasian Diagnosis shield is 180% of 300p (540p). Adlo is 180% of 300p as well. They both have the same 'if you crit, you get two copies of the shield effect instead of one' with Catalyze and Differential Diagnosis. Succor is 160% of 200p (320p). Eukrasian Prognosis is 320% of 100p (also 320p). The upfront healing of E.Prog is lower (because of the existence of regular Prognosis at 300p healing), but the shielding works out to be identical. Panhaima is 200p x5, Consolation is 200p x2 (but you can spread them out a bit further by delaying the second use further I guess?). Holos has a 300p shield attached, SCH has no tool that is analogous. If anything, it's SGE that has the stronger shields, and not because they're 'stronger', but because it just has 'more' of them to choose from.

A 2.5s cast time on SGE would work fine IMO. Might even make Toxikon and it's instantcast nature have some more interesting gameplay attached
