Are role actions a nerf?

I play SCH almost exclusively and of the 3 you mentioned only Swiftcast is a NEED (meaning something you will have use of 100% of the time). Esuna is only useful if there are debuffs that can be removed and Protect is of iffy necessity in dungeons and in raids only "required" for 1 of the 2 healers. You candisagree all you like... but unless you can come up with a way to prove that you NEED esuna even if there is nothing to remove, the reality of the situation is not going to change.

You need protect, and esuna as baseline, why? :

That's why. Most people do not play well. Protect helps make healing manageable when people are being hit by stuff they shouldn't be. You have 967 pages of why. paralyze hurts casting too much to fit being a need. "Why did you not esuna doom?" "I cross class rescue because esuna is not a need" If they are trying to narrow the gap of people that know what they are doing and not, this system is very poor.

Protect and esuna should be baseline for all healers, not from a selection of 5 bonus skills (this is assuming they rework SCH in general though and how dissipation works, otherwise it is a need for sch.) These 5 bonus skills should not be needs or things that should be baseline, like esuna and protect.

Also why does it stop at 50 for? Are they admitting the game is not natural to 50+? maybe that is why people are complaining about coding issues.
