Have we given up on SCH?

[Saefinn]

You not even considerate if you got all those skills to your SCH back it should be nerfed, to not break their job in comparison to the others, if the point it's all about to be fun not to be OP Broken, so reducing all their skills damage potency by half wouldn't be a problem, but that possibility never came at your mind or many others here, so your Damage would remain basically the same that already is but more fun to play with more skills to cast, so their potency would be ajusted to fit ito new amount. But seems like be fun isn't the only point required here, be broken is the another one like SCH should be on the top for every point.

On the contrary, I have asked for nerfs. In fact I’ve asked for an evolution of 2.0 Scholar, which wasn’t OP but still had all those skills. This is because SCH healing was weak in comparison to WHM, our down time was lesser, but our DoT’s made up for that fact and WHM had stronger DPS too, because this was before the 1000 nerfs of holy. And I had to utilise my toolkit better. In 2.0 WHM and SCH had a really good relationship and complimented each other well IMO.

But I figure it is a given that to get skills back, sacrifices must be made elsewhere and honestly I don’t think people would mind potency drops if it meant balance. As somebody else put it in another thread, I’d rather have have a Bio of 30 potency and a miasma of 30 potency than a bio of 60 potency. Of better yet, a bio of 20, a bio 2 of 20 and a miasma of 20. Or going the other way, I have no issue of WHM and AST DPS being brought up.

Though in fairness my most preferred option would have been to nerf pure healing, reduce my downtime, give back old cleric stance and make it so I have a harder time to weave DPS and make healing more engaging because I have to account for weaker pure healing. And that would mean better use of my healing toolkit and it’d feel more unique because I have to make better use of spells that aren’t like WHM’s. But I realise not all would be happy with that, hence my willingness to compromise.

With gradual, I meant that WHM felt the hit first and has done so over time, whereas although there were issues with SCH and AST already, I think the impact was felt in ShB. I think this may be why there’s a bigger SCH and AST representation here at the moment versus WHM.

To clarify what I meant by ‘broken’ is in the context of you saying SCH works fine, so broken in the sense it doesn’t work properly, rather than broken in the context of being OP.
