SCH needs some nerfs

[Rosa_Frandlia]

I was thinking of Focus being the base ability truth be told. What I'd propose is something rather basic, like adding an additional 100 potency to your next Ruin spell, plus the current MP boost you already get from the current ED. This would then diverge via a trait gained at 30, allowing it to affect the next three Ruin spells for SMN, and allowing SCH to instead add a separate 100 flat healing potency to Physick or Adlo, without affecting the shield potency of the latter at all. It could later be improved to affect AoE spells too, possibly, though I'm hesitant to do that on either class given their AoE damage is already fine as it is. It could, however, add more healing potency to Succor in a similar manner. Just boosting the flat heal and not the shield. I'm just reluctant to even do that without a nerf to Indom itself.

A complete re-work as a buff? While not a bad idea (especially for scholar), that would actually mean a total re-work on summoner as they need to use three aetherflow skills to unlock their cap abilities from both HW and (6 total) SB in deathflare and demi-bahamut after two uses of 3 stacks of aetherflow. While that may not be a bad thing, I wonder if SE would go for it. Aetherflow stacks are a key right now to the rotation on summoner.

That is is the problem with two jobs coming from archanist, to look at changing its skills you effect not one but both. Also if you have nothing that eats away aetherstacks until 30 with bane, they would then have to be put onto a timer like greased lightning on the monk. That would totally change both classes into much more complex forms of themselves.

I'm just playing devil's advocate, but looking through all effects is definitely something to do. If the classes become unplayable at lower levels, that is something we don't want for people leveling them. I'm in the camp of sch is fine as is, get whm and ast more in line with it is better than nerfing scholar. We wouldn't even be having this discussion if whm and ast were on par, not whm lagging behind so far in end game content.

I just hope I don't get booted from a party like at the start of SB for being whm due to how much was taken from whm's toolkit with Shadowbringers.
