I play on a ps3 and could easily fit both skills. Using chotbar copy helps to fit it all. Controlling your fairy is fairly intuitive. Hotbar space isn't a reason to reject new skills.

They could just scale the current potency of our Fairy support abilities. Whispering Dawn to 125, Fey Covenant to 25%, Fey Wind to 40 seconds, etc... And yes, when we use Dissipation, we should get the AOE Regen + Magic Damage Reduction for Eos, and Fey Wind + Will absorb one incoming debuffs from Selene.
What we really need is for their healing potency to scale up as well, Cure Potency to 325.
How about:
Fey Revivify
Duration: 12 seconds
Recast:180 seconds
Effect: Bestows a auto-raise effect on target player.
Weakness is a bit longer lasting an/or more potent than a regular raise.
Basically it would be a preemptive raise effect, the cool thing is it could be cast on the SCH themself, acting like an FFXI Reraise but for 12 seconds. I mean I don't see why if DPS or a tank or two die it's easy enough to recover but if healers die and no SMN with Resurrection, it's game over. I think healers should all at least get some form of Auto/Reraise albeit with a long cooldown.
Fey Endure
Duration: 5 seconds
Recast: 300 seconds
Effect: If the target player receives damage that would kill them, player instead survives with 1 HP and the effect immediately wears off. (As compared to Holmgang where they are virtually unkillable for those 6 seconds).
Fey Burst
Duration: 20 seconds
Recast: 90 seconds
Effect: For 12 seconds, embrace becomes a 5yalm AoE.
Didn't they acknowledge that Fairy healing is currently broken? Also I imagine fairy healing will scale with more MND gear moving forward...for the same reason how current crit rate for DPS at i190 for level 60 is lower than it was at i130 for lv50. Because we aren't near the max ilvl cap for our player level yet (which I'm presuming will be about 215-220?).
If we get more support abilities on the fairies, it will start to go over the AST supposedly home turf specialty lol. The fairies are fine as it is, just need more potency to scale up. Heck just make their healing to do far more and we will be totally ok.
I liked your ideas, I really wish they could be implemented.
But I guess a reraise would be hard to balance. Imagine a transition phase, like Titan's. You don't need to kill heart, save LB3, healer reraise him/herself, healer raises after the big hit and use LB3 to bring all the party back. It should eliminate the dps check... (Even if you are synched to lv50 and this skill would not be available, you could go unsynched and ignore mechanics anyway). I still think that a fairy sacrifice to get an instant raise would be cool, but with dissipation now, I guess it won't happen either.
Fey Endure would be awesome! But it's a tank move and I don't think SE would like it available for other characters. Not sure.
Fey Burst is the most viable of the suggestions, would fit to eos perfectly.
Someone suggested a blind AOE for Selene. I think it would be an awesome move if you didn't have blind on Ruin 2. Maybe Selene could do a Pacification move instead? It would counterbalance her silence...
I think a self revive is asking way too much and the suggested skills would have to match in cd between Eos and Selene. I suggested blind, because light is usually bright. XD. (I would love pacification, but I think again it's asking a bit)
Maybe Disappation could act as an Enkindle that gives Aetherflow and sacrifices your fairy for an ultimate martyrdom. Seeing a combination of their current skills be used like Luvbunny suggested would work, but it's not very inspired. I want to see why a Scholar would give up his best friend and greatest achievement in a moment of crisis. I wanna see lights that bolster and bless.Epicness you know? xD That sort of thing could be acceptable for the lackluster 60 SCH skill and the lack of new pet skills.
I suggested this in another thread:
This would be a strong skill and would show your fairy's love for you <3Quote:
This and an instant AOE heal centered on the fairy, like if she exploded in a healing dust cloud and the dust would come back to you giving full aetherflow and the Rouse effect (Increases Cure magic potency and damage dealt by pet by 40%. While roused, pet will be immune to stun, sleep, bind, heavy, paralysis, and disease for 20s.)
I also suggested that you could summon your fairy for no cost during the effect we have today. With this, you would still have the heal bonus AND the help of the fairy, since people calculate that the loss of the fairy is worse than the bonus she offer.Although you have the vantage of no mp cost you would still need to burn a swiftcast or a few seconds of your bonus to bring her back, making it fair.
Eos - Fey Extension. Extends the duration of Galavanize, Eye for an Eye, Fey Illumination, Fey Covenant, and Whispering Dawn effects of party memebers within 15 yalms for 15 secs.
Yeah.... Stealing garuda-egi's Contagion.
Selene - Fey Beacon. Everyone near Selene will receive a refresh buff that gradually restores MP and TP over 15 secs and imposes a 10-second silence on Selene that cant be dispelled.
Take that BRDs and MCHs that are pretty selfish on your refresh abilities.
