What is the next logical step forward for SCH

[GoatOfWar]

So as we remember we from the lead up to EW the development team have said the class they have seemed to struggle with the most on new skills is SCH (not so much like DRG where the job is complete just that they don’t know what to do with it that will meaningfully change it)

However despite this they accidentally chanced on what I think would probably be the general consensus for the best button added in EW in expedient

So now what do you think they will attempt to do next especially given they now need to consider SGE. I see 4 potential paths forward

1) they revert to the ShB design and give it a random heal at level 100 the class doesn’t need because SCH really doesn’t have a healing weakness (like WHM’s mitigation or AST’s on demand healing)
2) they try for another flash in the pan level 100 skill like expedient (what that may be I have no idea considering how restrictive utility is in this game and they fully admitted expedient was a happy accident)
3) we get a “chain 2” at level 100 that has a 120 second CD and that’s functionally it beyond the rumoured succor 2
4) they completely retool the kit in a soft rework to make some space and give us something like an extra DOT or 2

I’m not really sure which one I consider most likely but SCH seems to be in the strangest position right now as I can see at least one path forward for near every DPS, WHM can just another mitigation as a lily ability and SGE seems most poised to get another “phlegma style short CD that’s a gain on dosis” and AST is being reworked but I genuinely have no idea what to expect out of SCH at the moment

Less OGCD and GCD heals and more dps spells.
That's the only way forward.

I hope they reduce the number of oGCD heals and increase your amount of aetherflow at higher levels to make up for it. Maybe even remove indom's cooldown or give it charges if that would be OP. Energy drain also needs to be an integral part of your rotation. Maybe give us more DoTs, and make energy drain a DoT too at a higher level. I want a potency buff for it anyway to make it feel like it actually matters.

I also think AoE healing radius should be reduced but to make up for it, you should be able to execute any heal from your faerie. Scholar would actually have some strengths and weaknesses compared to sage.
