How could you do this to AST?

[Grimoire-M]

I'd say put fairy skills separate from the GCD again, so you can use them independently during your own heals rather being than SCH oGCD's. Having fairy heals that you can use even during GCD casts would become a SCH strength, a reason for having a minion and feed into that class identity.

I also agree on the potency. Even if they cut the potency, there's no reason why the tooltip can't reflect that. Especially when AST Star is also counted as a minion yet it has similar potency to the tooltip.

The GCD aspect doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the pet potency, and only for accuracy’s sake, really. SCH’s most broken aspect was the independent pet GCD so I don’t see that going away. Fey Blessing and Consolation being weak doesn’t change that SCH leaks damage whenever they weave any of their oGCDs either, Aetherflow or otherwise. I think it’s more pertinent to focus on giving SCH some DPS oGCD to make up for this loss while removing hard clipping. Ideally by making it key off the spending of their healing resources. Energy Drain usage doesn’t need to be tied to it per say, but Fey Gauge definitely should be.
