Literally one expansion in and they are already basically dumping kardia because they want everyone to be able to use philosophia

Then using your example of ET, sure the SCH has to think ahead and gets rewarded with potentially higher HPS but does that actually affect your decision whether to use it or not……..no you both just press it during a white hole/harrowing hell style mechanic and achieve the same thing
Functionally it is a party-wide Kardia. It works similarly to Tech Step granting everyone a buff, even though there's only 1 dance partner. I can see the argument for having it be buffed by Soteria, if they want to go that direction with it.

What do you mean by saying that they are "dumping Kardia"?

For Harrowing Hell I'd be more inclined to utilize Panhaima and Holos, and focus more on maintaining shields. Since I have a co-healer, it would make more sense to let the shields stay as shields rather than dumping them for direct heals. Pepsis is more of a "I need to heal on the move" sort of situation. But, especially combined with other skills, Emergency Tactics could restore a lot of party HP very quickly. I'd find that more useful for healing in between hits of Rotten Honey in M2S, where's there's still time to get another shield out for the next hit. I mean I didn't play Scholar in M2S so maybe that's not as good in practice. I just don't think a HH type of mechanic is the best use for Pepsis/Deployment tactics.
