Proposed changes that would make SCH more intuitive and fun.

Bane needs to return.

I think all healers in general need a way to spread DoTs somehow. WHM used to have Aero 3 which got removed and AST has none. It's a nice way to start a trash pull and to break up the monotony of spamming Art of War (if the mobs last long enough that you need to reapply dots). Manually dotting each enemy is incredibly boring and clunky with how dumb tab targeting is in this game. And with big pulls (like in MSQ roulette) I just skip the dotting step and spam AoW which is very boring. I don't find Shadow Flare too necessary - it was nice but the ground targeting system was clunky to use, and I doubt SE would want to give SCH too many AoE tools anyway.

Make Bane have a 100% chance of refreshing DoT duration.

Bane used to have a 20% chance of refreshing DoT duration upon spreading them. I think it would be quite fun to bane repeatedly, refreshing DoT duration on a pack of trash mobs until they die. This wouldn't affect raids as add phases generally don't last long enough for you to Bane a second time - it would purely make dungeons more interesting. To accommodate this change, Art of War's potency could be nerfed. By nerfing AoW you also wouldn't have to use AoW on two mobs, as AoW is currently a DPS increase on at least 2 mobs, which makes you run out of MP rather quickly.
