To my recollection, SCH mains were, in fact, livid about SCH changes. Ironic that aoe sprint for 20s was so overpowered it had to be nerfed. Really underscores one of the biggest problems of EW fight design. If sprint makes the fight substantially easier, then you're making movement a core mechanic of difficulty, and classes that don't like or have trouble moving are at a severe disadvantage. Partially underscores why BLM specifically really needed to be updated, and also why RDM has been in the bottom 5 for least played jobs.
