If SMN got to keep Titan, and he was reworked to be a bit more useful, while still kind of niche,I don't see why they couldn't do the same for Selene instead of just making her EOS) numbers are whatever. If broil had a potency of 700 and SCH was laughably OP I still wouldn't enjoy the class, because it wouldn't change things like using broil over 100 times in a Savage fight.
I agree completely.. Scholar used to be the sort of healer that was fun enough to play that when I started playing, I finished Stormblood completely without even trying Summoner and didn't seriously try a DPS for the entire expansion. It was fun to play just about anywhere. The DPS skills were enough to feel varied but not overwhelming to distract you from your primary role, it was really good design.. Having to place your fairy, choose which one to use and also getting immediate response off of skills made the central class mechanic also much more engaging to use than it is now.

Now we have two healers that have lost a lot of joy in Shadowbringers, participation numbers are just as skewed as ever, and people are still fighting on the forums over nuances between skills.
