We definitely know who'll be meta though, but Scholar seems to be necessary still since Fairy actions (Covenant, Illumination) + crit barrier spread

I do not want to play SCH having no AoE damage.
I would not want to play whm where i need 8/5 (making it impossible) to have all my tools I used to have as needs, let alone be able to play with the new abilities, this also leaves out the useless cleric stance. You do not need to play to know these alone are bad choices.

Yep with the potency loss I might as well heal without the fairy when she dies.

I HAVE TO PICK SWIFTCAST as a SCH because of the fariy summoning and SCH is the weakest raw healing already.
