SCH needs some nerfs

[Deceptus]

You remember wrong. SCH got significant changes every single patch since 4.0 and got repeatedly buffed.

- Excogitation Healing potency increased from 650 to 800. Duration increased from 30 to 45 seconds. Recast time reduced from 60 to 45 seconds.
- Fey Union Range increased from 10 to 15 yalms. The Faerie Gauge will no longer deplete when channeling from Fey Union is interrupted.
- Aetherpact Aetherflow actions are no longer required to inflict an effect on a target to increase the Faerie Gauge.
- Adloquium MP cost reduced.

4.2 Excogitation The effect "Grants target party member other than self the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50%." has been changed to "Grants target party member other than self the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50% or upon effect duration expiration."

4.3 Whispering Dawn Action category has been changed from Spell to Ability.Cast time has been made instant.Healing potency has been increased from 100 to 120.
- Aetherpact Recast time has been reduced from 5 to 3 seconds.
- Fey Union Fey Union can now be interrupted to order faeries to use another action.
- Dissolve Union Recast time has been reduced from 5 seconds to 1 second.

Most of these were desperately needed QOL buffs (They changed the way AOE started damage for other jobs as well)

The Excog change was needed because there were times where you'd put it on and the tank would stay above 50% and it was a wasted aether stack. Also before the potency increase it was only nominally more than a Lustrate. Now if your tank is <50%, you should be casting Excog if it's up.

Fey Union was changed because it was clunky as hell. There would be times you'd mash the button and nothing would happen.

The Whispering Dawn change was a straight up nerf. A pretty major one. Don't know why you put it on the list of "buffs". Now WD isn't affected by Rouse or Largesse. Many are of the mindset it's because the dev's acknowledged SCH was getting to good in the aoe department. So they increased player ability healing and decreased pet healing. You know, balance.

Same with

Quickened Aetherflow Reduction to the recast time of Aetherflow changed from 10 to 5 seconds. This was AFTER they reduced the MP gain from Energy Drain

It's almost like context is really important when looking at balance changes and you can't look at isolated events.
