    Too many superfluous buttons or buttons that downplay the need to use any of my existing buttons. SCH is a fine example of this, with so many healing options that are sufficient that I don't ever need to think about or utilize spells like Deployment Tactics or Emergency Tactics or Chain Stratagem. And then I have Dissipation which has no real niche at all.

    The kits feel like a mixed bag of tools that past a point have no cohesive purpose. I'd rather have a tighter kit where everything serves a clear purpose for my role and job flavor, rather than having multiple different AoE heal GCDs that only exist because the others can go on cooldown or generate fairy meter or be otherwise made unavailable. If you... say... removed Lustrate and Indomitability, then made Emergency Tactics have no CD but use an Aetherflow stack, I'd be doing the exact same thing but with tools that feel like they belong to Scholar.

    It's pretty clear the devs are struggling with how to expand a toolkit that was initially a tight and effective design. Maybe going forward we can focus less on duplication and more on interaction.

    And don't get me started on their gutted dps kits. With how much I have to dps, there really is no reason it has to be limited to Broil, Biolysis and Art of War (AKA the most underwhelming AoE). I like the idea proposed earlier of repurposing Selene as a dps fairy. Do that, make fairy summoning instant ala Summoner (so we can switch as needed), and then give us Bane and Miasma back.
