Like how the EES have serande which calms all monsters around them.... I think SEs should have a fear version of that called evocation or something of shilen what do you think? XD
and sorry for the wrong word I don't know a word that means the opisite of evocation..T.T
"Evocation" isn't the word you're looking for (evocation in a fantasy setting usually entails the creation of matter and energy from apparent nothingness), but as for a PBAoE fear effect, NC already created it and gave it to PPs.
Not that I would mind having something like Word of Fear, but it's one of the few skills PPs have left that's theirs (even if most of them almost never use it and don't consider it to be worth much).
SE rocks... If you go to a herb dropping spot and carry a couple of mp elixirs you can grind for hours. I actually spend a lot of time in blazing swamp (I have to be faster than all the botters there) solo leveling in inq mode. I carry only a regular homu and I 3-shot mobs there, mp herb drop is really ok and if i'm not lucky I use invocation, if there's still no herb, I use an elixir, but usually I never touch those elixirs and by the time I ran out of mp invocation is active again.
The thing that makes WC the best buffers is that they have the combination of some pp and some SE buffs that are for ALL party, so there's no argue about wc being the best buffer of all game, but playing a SE is really fun and actually helps a lot in a party. Btw, you do have a powerful Wind Shackle that combined with VR (or bless the blood) when ppl is surrounded saves you a lot of mp in heals.
Another thing to trensharo, that's right, you cannot put a +4 int on a SE, but you just lower your men to get more c. speed. 750 range for a high-uber speed buff with acumen, dyes, casting speed increase of set and wild magic is enough to own any mob area even if it's light red to you.
