Also we had an amazing thing for weaving already. They were called Pet Skills. You could use them while you were casting anything.

Oh I'm sorry, I forget, gcd heals are evil. DPS is all that matters. It's not like there are moments where rock bottom happens and it's nice to be able to double up on a heal by weaving an off-global on it. Just because it's not a frequent thing doesn't mean it's a bad thing to have.

People deprioritizing the least efficient abilities in their kits? Madness. Next people will say BLMs should avoid using Scathe if they can help it.

It really sounds like you are describing SB SCH and not what SCH will become. The pruning of SCHs skills is what gives players the perception that it will be boring to play in ShB; it really doesn't have anything to do with the fairy. Lily's Embrace heals are basically full time mini Excogs on any party member in her range. Even more so now with the cast time removed, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is taken away completely in a future expansion.

I can't wait to test it even if on paper it looks borring as hell i just want to be sure of that and then maybe stop to play this job i love...

How SE can think we will be happy as healer with this.

Facilitation, homogeneity are killing games nowadays and plz SE stop to think new players / casual players just want or are capable of pushing only 3 buttons....it's just borring

The Sch updates left me hearth broken, I have PSTDs since the live letter and I have complained since that. I main Sch for two years, it’s part of me and that part is officially dead. I will finish main scenario with my Sch because the class represents me but then I won’t play till we dont get our dignity and identity back!
We lost our dps rotations, mana management skill (Ed) and now we need to even clip to use our fairy buff so basically we became the Whm -_- . No fast aetherflow and 1 dot. I have been waiting since the begin of SB for another dot ! Thanks to all people jealous about the Sch since always, well done

Still the Ast is technically just horrible. Not just for dmg output but for all the rest

so pet heal is on full auto now you cant choose who it heals?

Also anyone else think the Art of War(stupid name for a spell) icon looks like someone Tebowing? MCHs dabs, maybe SCHs will Tebow, it'll be a funny bonus to all these horrible nerfs.

The worst part about Art of War besides its supid name is how boring the animation is. It's literally just a PvP skill animation put on SCH. And it is so underwhelming to use. You casually hit the ground and a less than impressive aura appears from it. It's not some massive magic explosion like Gravity or Holy. Just, hit the ground weak sound happens, and a tiny purple AOE appears around you. At least Misama 3 sounded impressive and gave you that satasfying sound of every enemy around you taking DoT damage.
