Interesting idea, interested to see what feedback you get. Whenever I even make just 1 cool suggestion my fc always trashed the idea like for 6.0 I thought to make mch' s wildfire more useful in aoes.

Enhanced Wildfire, applies the debuff to the mob per usual at 200 potency per weaponskill but spreads to nearby enemies for 20 potency per weaponskill.

Just to make mch aoes a tiny bit better and wildfire better but I got met with too op ect or too low potency why bother. So yeah I like seeing this kinda stuff. Hopefully you arent dunked on too hard for just concepts

sorry to hear about it but it really shouldn't stop you from posting concepts it always nice to see other people reworks ideas or how to make skills better.dunked or not ,it wont stop me from coming up with concepts ^^.
hope to see your ideas too,i would like to read them.

as for your idea ,it actually a nice idea for pulls but instead of making it aoe that spreads for 20 potency how about making it apply a stack during each weapon skill cast and reaching 3+ stacks before detonation will apply an additional effect of burn damage worth 20 potency per stack for 21s.

Hmmm so make it a dot? I could see it, especially as mch only has 1 dotand I'm all for dots. Summoner should get a 3rd xp

summoner does have ifrit enkindle dot to use and garuda slipstream aoe area function like a dot, as well people compared the egis as glorified dots so i guess he has more then 3 XD

That's very true! Though in order to balance smn, if they ever did use a 3rd it should probably be a 90s cd use at maybe 10 potency if no dots are up, 20 for bio/miasma and ofc 30 for both for... hmm 30 seconds or 20.

What'd be cool for drk is if you aren't in tank stance you get a skill that's akin to samurais uh I forget what it's called bit it increases weaponskill damage. But to make drk more like older drk' s it costs hp to use but increases next action weaponskill or ability by 10%? Since shb levels 10% is a decent amount. Can't make it as potent as Sam's but it'd be cool. Maybe it costs 8% of hp for 10%

the skill is named Hissatsu: Kaiten and it uses the samurai gauge,i am not that familiar with tanks tbh but if there would be something like that i think it better use his gauge however i would take the maditate or the 50 gauge fill skill samurai have Ikishoten for drk.
give him a skill that in exchange for 50% hp will fill his gauge and along side the skill that increases the next weaponskill damage that will use his gauge.

or have a toggle stance that will drain the hp like 2-3% from drk every second but will increase his damage by 10%.

Curious of ED couldve been learned any ealier and how Bane into Deployment Tactics will work: Charges or different cooldowns its on a friendly or mob?

Other than that I have full endorsement for any rework either reimplementing Arcanist or evolving the job in some capacity. Showing the kind of understanding this is a job meant to go on adventure on, not stand around sucking your thumb waiting for other adventurers to get hurt on. You bring the pain solo, albeit a slow-ly working and drawn out death, and in party you do make sure nobody dies while also using your core functionality.

Some actually potential good and fun use out of the Fey Gauge, I think you've already shown more thought into this than SE did.

Love your Plans ABC and I think they would work even better as Stances, with short cooldown before you can exit or swap them. It might be my irrational fear of oGCDs after 4.0 and 5.0, but Id rather have something impactful available right away and the trick is to find the situation it would work best instead of being something you press every third minute like Chain strate and Seraph.

plan ABC are basically stances you activate for different situations,you can change a plan to a different one while you have one active but then it will cancel the previous plan and put it on cd or you press the plan again and deactivate it.
their cd are so you could align it with chain tbh both A or b whichever you choose for your burst window i thought A would be more appropriate and plan b for the movement heavy situations you might come across or just if you can and want but you still need to consider your cd and aetherflow stacks cause it cost 1 stack. since there are more skills you use with aetherflow like the stances the arcanist ED is like an extra skill to grant scholar stacks in case it needs it and a substitute to aetherflow skill in case it wants to do damage.

ED is of arcanist so it starts at level 18 which is why it is so early and why you still retain fester as for bane it will be on different cooldowns depending if its on friend or mob, if it on mob it is reduced to 10s else 120s its original cd(even though i think 60s cd is fine for it).

As a SCH main I must dig into this, but I can't say some things make sense from an initial glance. You added Libra, but Chain Stratagem is Libra, naming aside. I like the ideas of skills being "plans" but the naming convention seems off. And why leave Art of War's name, T.T

My biggest gripe though is, you make all of these changes and dont give them Meltdown, HOW DARE YOU, lol. But the biggest issue is how would this work alongside the other healers?

Here are some brief observations:

The Energy Drain, Aetherflow change makes no sense honestly, since the SMN version is actually inferior. Plus if Aetherflow is just an MP refresh skill now it's even worse. Getting both earlier again would be nice.

While I wish the name would change, Ruin II is a benefit on SCH, since they are the only healer with and instant GCD attack spell.

You removed Emergency Tactics, but didn't give SCH any healing spells to supplement it. Shields don't always work sadly.

Some of the moves have CC involved. SE seems to be moving past this with most skills.

Also some of the "newer" skills you added seem to have similar effects to old ones, why not just use the old names, like Fey Wind.

Plan A sounds nice, but since they removed Cleric Stance, I think it's safe to say they dont wanna reduce healing output to increase DPS anymore.

Additionally, Plans A, B, and C all feel like they fight eachother a bit. Not to the extent that Dissipation, Aetherpact, and Summon Seraph currently do, but skills shouldn't fight one another.
(For those not aware, SCH has an issue where besides its lv 50 skill, none of it's capstone skills, mentioned above, can be used together, as using one locks the other two out)

Also, SCH only has one faerie, Lily, they don't have 3. So an ability like Delta Formation doesn't make much sense. Though I do like the idea of giving SCH a healing/damage move, similar to Assize and Earthly Star. Since only SCH doesn't have a skill like that.

PS, maybe try to adjust the layout of how the information is set up, so it's easier to distinguish the sills and information like CD and MP cost. Right now it all just flows into one another and can be difficult to discern.
