And that is primarily because of the fact Eukrasia serves as a "psuedo-cast time" where it is still technically a cast time of Eukrasia's GCD to cast the shield, but you can at the very least move during said "cast time". While this wouldn't solve the fact SCH would still need to sit and cast to use their shields, this would at least give a similar amount of reactiveness, and would allow you to instantly use deployment tactics at the end of the cast without it clipping the gcd.
The cast time to do a Barrier is roughly 1.5 seconds (I think) as oppose to the near 2 seconds there is to cast Adlo.
I believe the issue with SCH is simply the cast times and SGE is just faster at deploying the shields.
I mentioned elsewhere, but Adlo + Deploy is clunky and takes too long to get out.
SGE has a lot of instant stuff that gets the job done quick.
SCH still needs to place succor, get Adloploy, get stuff ready for Faerie when with SGE it's all done with a single button.
