#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Supersnow845]

If SE knew how SCH even functions, they wouldn't consistently give SCH tools that completely delete a prior weakness.

SCH dominance continues because the dev team cannot understand why the job is even strong. Recall that they thought the SCH doesn't heal and the WHM was being forced to heal everything.

SCH lost its one true weakness years ago, we discuss how Seraphism deleted its movement healing weakness and expedient/seraph deleted its “everything has a cost” weakness but really SCH lost its true weakness when we deleted random damage out of encounters

SCH’s weakness always was that it really doesn’t handle random damage and out of pocket situations well. Who would have guessed when everything is planned to end GCD with no variation the healer that benefits the most from everything being planned ends up the strongest

As our queen once said- looks like it’s another 2 years of the chain strategum dictatorship

if only we could rely on it only being two years... I somehow am not able to foresee any good changes coming, I dont think SE has it in them

Exploiting that weakness requires damage to actually be threatening enough to pressure your resources. SCH's trouble with adapting to suddenly bad situations was due to the limitations of Aetherflow, but with the way they design fights now, even that's no longer much of a weakness.

A lot of the tools we get end up being so vestigial that if we ported SCH directly from HW into the current game, it would have no trouble healing savage. Imagine that, damage is so non-threatening nowadays that a lv60 job from 6 years ago can heal through it.

Yeah honestly that was my point

Random damage has to be non trivial to really unseat SCH and right now it simply doesn’t exist

When they removed non trivial random damage that’s really the point that SCH lost its last real weakness
