I think you have a narrow view of what a DOT class is. You are right. 14’s DOT space has always been hilariously limited. There is no freezing of effects, no bouncing of effects, no explosion of timers, by all rights SCH was never a DOT class, it was a class that crudely filled the space of depth with numbers

However I don’t think that erases the fact that SCH worked, it simply did. The idea of DOT’d work for a healer, damage can be more easily delayed for healing, eos/selene created HOT’s where there was also DOT’s; that same tick by tick control that embrace once had

Do I think SCH is a perfect or even a good DOT class when compared to what others have with better GCD tick rate and boss debuff programming; no; is it the best DOT class we will likely ever get in this game; also by far yes

Maybe I’ve complained on here so long I’ve reached a point where I’ve gone past imagining beautiful hypothetical scenarios for jobs we all know will never actually materialise. I don’t have a problem declaring that HW SCH is and was the best DOT class we will ever get and no constant bleating about a theoretical green DOT mage will ever eventuate
