Did you guys see the fairy tether in the benchmark trailer?

Do you think it'll be something lame like ordering the fairy to heal that one person for a while, or do you think it'll be focused regen? Eos was using it after all!

Yep, I suspect it'll be a way for SE to tone down the need to micromanage the fairy so much. Hardly a bad thing overall though.

Sort of looks like a focus heal. Maybe higher healing on a single target for a short time? Like if you do no management at all, if a party member has lower HP (percentage I believe) than a tank, they get healed first. But if its a castable skill, then you have to target the person anyways, so it's weird.

I saw it. I only watched once so far but I got the impression that it was almost an offensive action, like a buff/attack. We will have to wait & see!

You mean Guard actually works on sch now?

I wonder if it will be the Scholar's version of Synastry. (or one of the new healing cross class skills). The fairy could focus/tether to a specific person, increasing healing power and giving a portion of heals done to other party members to them?

Pure speculation only.

I felt like it was pretty offensive too...

Yeah but Eos was using it. She's not really the offensive type.

Eos im Bereitschaftsdienst.

I'd agree with this. I'd expect any offensive fairy buffs to be with Selene.

I hope they make the effect vary depending on fairy. That would be fun. Like a healing buff with Eos and a Speed buff with Selene or whatever !

My first thought on seeing that was a fairy spur/rouse. Wouldn't mind that at all! Also for most of the official videos they always use Eos. So hopefully it will be a skill for Selene as well, but just do something different for her.

A mob was focused on the DRK who's tethered to Eos, so I'm guessing it's focused healing, or some kind of defense buff or damage mitigation. Perhaps the damage is split between the DRK and Eos.

Look at the SCH, and he has a casting animation before the fairy shoots the lasers. So it's very likely a button on your bar that you press.
What it might do? I'd say it's a short duration burst heal, or a single-target defensive CD (it's very much possible that either Virus and/or Eye for an Eye is being removed)

My first thought is a fairy "cover" skill, likely enhanced mitigation on the target, maybe at the cost of fairy HP. (Can likely Adlo her/target among other buffs)

I think it'll be a focused healing/ regen. Maybe at the cost of the fairy not healing anyone else?

Everyone, don't be too hasty to come up with theories & good ideas because history has proven that we'll most likely be disappointed! XD

So at zero cost?

i find that i'm more interested in this move than the new smn, which for me it's look like a palette swap of ruin 3, even i play with smn more time than sch

Probably has a cooldown, just like all fairy skills.

I hope Selene gets some love too.
