Have we given up on SCH?

[Hatstand]

Angry healers have been a long-time thing, have you gotten your "Angry Healers" monthly? To answer your OP, no, I'm still championing for SCH changes though that sort of evolved because I want to have 1. A healer with almost unlimited potential and fights that makes me have to think of how to utilize it all. 2. Fights that require a lot of movement 3. Make all the non-end game content be about the content not the carrot daily reward at the end with random dangerous patrols and chest with random loot and xp.

It has been disheartning to go now two months and neither gotten a concern raised at LLP or even a community manager just popping in going "Hey, how are you enjoying healers?" or "We are not planing any changes right now." The silence is deafing. I am still reminded of how gutted SCH is every time I log in to do stuff with the FC, which is great for taking the mind of, and now even some new players picking up sch are complaining about having nothing to do bu Ruin spam.

It started with Stormblood and I'm still in favor of getting 3.0 Scholar back. I'm more than happy to see Recitation, Catalyze, Fey Blessing, Excog, Fey Union go in return for the versatility of the slow dots, slow/heavy/virus debuffs, pet hotbar with own gcd, Selene. List just keeps on growing. If it is hard to balance around the finely tuned raid fights the current skillset could be a seperate system like PvP they tweak by the numbers.

The only reason I think there would be problems with that is that people would get no practice at their job outside raids, which could be pretty rough. It'd be better if they had some sort of toggle outside raids. Heck, it would be a wonderful function if you could play any version (2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0) of a job outside raids, with just a switch of a toggle. Then you just make it against the code of conduct to bully people for not having the best version in non-endgame content (which would be the only content where you could use it anyway). I'm sure there would be some people who would rage about "not being able to discourage people from being dead weight by playing the wrong spec", but people who'd do that in non-endgame content are toxic anyway, and I have no problem with censoring toxicity.

However, I realise something like this would never happen
