Sadly sayiing goodbye to SCH

[Ogulbuk]

I have done my best to stay positive, but after a disastrous night running with my SCH last night, I am afraid I am going to shelf the job and start leveling either WHM or AST.

I am not even sure why the devs felt the job needed a healing nerf in Stormblood, it was always less than stellar healing wise. I struggled to get it to 70, and I struggle every time I tank with a SCH in as main healer in a dungeon.

What was the point of lowering the healing potency of the fairy, and increasing the end cost of the heals? It was always bad enough our main heals were tied to resource systems (and shared with other tools) limiting how many times per minute we can use Lustrate.

I try to heal, and run out of MP because Adloquium is disgustingly MP inefficient and Physick too slow to get the job done. I would be tempted to use Energy Drain but that is one less Lustrate that now must be replaced by a MP eating spell, so not worth it.

Some things got a bit better at level 70 due to 4.05, the fay union thing is somewhat decent, when I can use it, but that does not help me in roulettes. So, since I don't expect the Fay and MP nerfs to be rolled back and I'm tired of slowing groups down my SCH is now getting shelved. If I'm tanking... I honestly think I'll also just drop out if the healer is a SCH. I rather watch TV than run the dungeon that slowly*.

*again, changes made 70 bearable, this is pre 68 dungeons.
