Playing SCH is so awkward and bad

You've just gotten too used to WHM, play SCH some more and most things you get accustomed to over time.

If the faerie AI would be decent, would cast heals on priority targets, would move faster, would cast her abilities instantly without a wind-up time - maybe.

But as it currently stands - no.

I can't even cast a faerie ability while I myself cast something as the faerie ability is considered an ability I cast, even though the faerie executes it, which in my eyes defeats the purpose of the faerie to even be present.

Could I get on board with players having more control over Embrace (I know some preferred attaching it to a macro), sure but if you ever manually used fairy actions before Shadowbringers then the current system is not massively different (aside from Embrace).

I found playing SCH like playing MNK...

At first you just look at the job and go what in Thals name is going on here? Seriously this is just a huge mess. Meanwhile all the people who love those jobs are going: " . . . it's simple, seriously what's the problem? Stop hating on my job".

Bunch of tools that are niche, very helpful but niche and that feels a little bit different than the other jobs where they either don't have those tools or they're way more obvious when and where you should use it (like sleep or anti-knockback stuff). Once you learn where what is supposed to go suddenly the jobs become a lot more straight forward and things lay into place. These two jobs, imo, could do with a personal job tutorial lol. Especially when most jobs are super straight forward, these two jobs come with some twists that not all the other jobs have- not saying they're hard but it's like if you don't get when you're supposed to use what then it feels really weird. Also of course SCH is way more preemptive so that feels quite different if you're used to being more reactive.

So yeah I'd agree it's not super intuitive (compared to other jobs like the massively straight forward WHM lol), but starts to make sense after a while if you rub your face against the mechanics enough or if someone just straight up tells you what x and y are good for lol.
