because if I'm out there 90+ I don't want to be in my relic (or even AF 1) with a light staff trying to charm! Also, the relic boost to reward is to remove a status ailment, merits have nothing to do with that. Seriously, if I need to go back to charming EM+ to level solo losing that I think +21 to charm is going to result in more mischarms, and in case you noticed you only consistently mischarm while in the middle of a fight, a very good way to make your recently earned XP into a "do over".

By the same token, yes Eta gives alot of HP back, it gives alot more with augmenting gear, and without Atmas or Shepards drinks (which are only available in Abyssea, Nyzul and Beseiged) it is the only means of healing my pet short of having him rest. In the middle of a fight that means I have to try to solo whatever straight up, not generally a good idea.

I'm not asking for anything to make me more powerful than I was pre-Abyssea, just AS powerful as I was before Abyssea, relative to my level.
