A (Probably Terrible) Idea to Help SCH class identity

[elioaiko]

Would it be better to extend the 1.5 sec cast time to Glare and Broil III too? There's the argument of homogenization or class identity, but clunkiness never seemed like a great identity for a class and they could differentiate in other ways. WhM in particular is incredibly immobile even compared to caster dps such as BLM and cannot avoid some clipping.

100% agree. Clipping is so annoying and makes it hard to optimize in movement heavy sections. WHM would benefit so much from it personally. There's times where I have to suffer and clip for Tetra or Assize.

But also to add, AST is a monster when it comes to healing. My co-healer consistently out heals me just from oGCDs. They have so many answers whereas SCH also does but at the cost of their DPS.

Just roll with it and dump more responsibility on them; it's fine. ASTs were made for it. We appreciate low HP bars so our fully cooked Star chan can feel useful. Let the Broil spam intensify! The only time I get out healed on AST is when the my co healer is a healbot who immediately heals everyone to full, going so far as to precast heals during the aoe cast.
My static co healer is trying to experiment with how low he can go without forcing me to hardcast. So far he is at a 6 healing parse on Ramuh with the majority of it coming from Assize.
"Do you need me to heal?"
"Nah. ED in 12 seconds, he'll just have to survive until then"
Seeing how low you can go is a fun little mini game.
