Many first time gamers start out as healers because their significant other tries to simplify it for them by telling them to just make sure the green bars dont go down.

    Now as a big lover of SCH, I get the desire for more interesting damage options. But I wouldn't so quickly forget about the minority of players that struggle with rotations. They should have a class that feels easier to play.
    Would DPS players accept that. Your class gets dumbed down to the point you get only three buttons and you weave in three other buttons.

    Did MCH just accept the new design of their 1.2.3 class?
    Did MNK just accept the dumbing down of their class? They got a rework.
    Did SMN just accepr the garbled mess of their class? They had the numbers, it worked just fine right?

    Why is dumbing down a class for amthe sake of accessibility only justified with healers? Why do they have to lower the skill floor and the skill ceiling? Button Bloat? You have still have passives and interesting interactions you could design between existing abilities.

    Right? Plus, I love the "I like Scholar the way it is" people, who are basically saying "I don't want Scholar to get anything worthwhile or fun in this or any future expansion. We're fiiiiiine. I can't believe people want a new rotation or a flashy spell." I mean, whatever, I guess. Just toss it in the bin and adjust spell potencies every 2 years, apparently.
