My Rework idea for SCH II

[GrimGale]

I'm sorta curious which set of skills you are referring to exactly. Not saying you are wrong, but the SCH skill set is usually viewed as one of the more "complete" compared to other jobs. The main skills that are disjointed are the 60, 70, and 80 capstone skills, that all fight one another and can't be used together. Also SCH was the original "off healer" so its skills initially expressed that, but that has since been adjusted with a focus away from HoT/Shield healer dynamic.

Also while more Strategem or Libra style skills sound nice in theory, ultimately, what would they do. And how would it be balanced against the other healers for usable utility.

Seraph, Dissipation, and Aetherpact, Which granted are situational and have rather long CDs. Fey gauge being used for only Fey Tether and Fairy Veil.

I do agree with you in the sense of SCH having a very complete kit to deal with many different things. (But at this point which healer doesnt? All have some sort of mitigation, regen, instant heal oGCD and a semblance of a shield. (Though Divine benison isn't comparable to Adloquium)
SCH have many tools available at the ready so I suppose part of the fun of the class is just managing CDs. But unlike the other classes in the game there is no build up in SCH's gameplay.

Potent abilities are just one button press away and it feels subjectively underwhelming, specially when you spend most of your fights spammig Broil/AoW.

I think expanding on Tactical abilities of intel gathering to unleash stratagems would give SCH some active support to do during periods of non healing. (Much like ASTs do with cards. )

Ah, so it's the skills I thought then. Yeah SE does need to adjust that, and figure out more uses for the Fey Gauge.

As for the Tactical aspect you are requesting, your answer, and ultimately one I don't think you want, lies in your example; AST and their cards. What I mean is, the tactical aspect would ultimately boil down to an illusion of choice, and similarly to what SE did to AST's cards, that choice might be stripped away. Not trying to discourage anything, but unfortunately with some of these things, boring but practical beats out awesome but impractical. That being said, finding a way for them to feel rewarded for doing what they do would be great. Meltdown anyone, lol.
