I'm probably prodding a wasp nest with a stick here, but it's a free forum...

I don't think every job people are disatisfied with needs to be razed to the ground like SMN and MCH. I know its showing in the trailer sucked, but all the big money shots are just "extra combo finisher" at the end of the day. You're not likely to get a real feel from healers from these trailers without playing them. With the clear cut healer dichotomy of "main healer / shield healer" being (re)introduced...that tells me that SCH, while not getting a wealth of new tools, is having all of its old ones tweaked around that. ARR was glorious synergy between WHM and SCH. Surely the announcement of that should be a positive sign? Of course all existing skills will be reconfigured around that in addition to the stat squish; and it already has countless forms of healing, if they didn't think they could do much with it it's probably in relation to that. I mean what else could it get, single target ogcd shield? That's probably the new skill. Fairy response was instant, no guarantee its fixed since she's idle but it did look a little snappier than usual. That's something people wanted right? If the issue is wanting more dps buttons then, that's a healer issue in general. Was having 1 extra dot really that exciting? I know Bane and Shadow Flare were more interesting than Art of War, for sure, but...eh. I know the trailer was rubbish for them but I'm waiting for the media tour tooltips. You may now call me an apologist who never played SCH in my life. Maybe it will be crap, but...I'm saving my energy for the media tour info.
