Agreed on the first part but not the infinite duration. I dont want the new Savage meta. to be a 3 minute prepull for 3 cooldowns of Aetherflow so the SCH can Excog everyone in the party before a pull.

Agreed, though it would be simple enough to say that Excog can only be on one person at a time. I've seen another idea I like that if the buff times out, it grants a shield instead of a heal. If they implimented that, I would actually prefer they didn't increast the potency, because that actually makes it a decision of "do I want the safety heal, or do I want to maintain it to get a large shield for an upcoming mechanic?" For example, a planned psudo-critlo Deploy.

They nerfed Embrace because 2.x and 3.x SCH were pretty strong and could DPS nearly fulltime while relying on fairy for heals in dungeons.

And that was only a problem because of Cleric Stance. With that removed, WHM/AST can actually DPS through an entire dungeon even better, because Regens effectively have infinite uptime and oGCD heals can just be popped in between DPS spells at no loss.

They gave us Largesse, a 20% healing potency buff with a shorter recast than Fey Illumination, so in return they nerfed Illumination. Having both at full power is overpowered.
