Can we have Eos/Selene travel faster, please?

Basically the title. There's been too many times where I'm sprinting with the Tank during W2W pulls in dungeons, we arrive at the wall and I need Eos to use a skill, but she won't arrive until a good 5-6 seconds later.

Thoughts on movement skills like Sprint and Peloton also affecting your fairy, or if that's not possible, just giving them better movement speed?

Honestly the fairy is just a beacon for their skills. I'd rather have the fairy hover over your shoulders and over someone else's whenever you're using Fey Union.

You're right, she is a beacon for her skills. That's why she shouldn't change. She lets you center her relative to everyone in the party. Sometimes over bad AoEs or missing arena elements.

I'd like at least one skill that takes advantage of that specifically. A persistent HoT Aura/zone that's basically the AoE Fey Union equivalent is something that seems immediately obvious. It could replace Whispering Dawn outright and I think it'd still be a net positive with the right tuning.

Or maybe make fairy related abilities operate in a way similar to Curing Waltz, making those skills activate at the center of both the caster and the fairy. (radius adjust accordingly of course)

Part of being a good SCH player is learning to move your fairy separare from yourself in anticipation of fight mechanics.

It would be nice for dungeon runs and stuff, If you tell the faerie to stay/place it somewhere just before you run to some mob packs, there's a certain distance where you can command it to follow again and it will teleport right beside you because the distance is great for it to walk - though if it's too far and hasn't been told to folow, it will de-summon itself instead. :/

Tbh, it's kinda exaggerated since 99% of the time faerie can be placed in the centre of battle arenas and hit everybody, even moreso with Fey Union having a longer range now.

That is true. But the OP specifically mentioned sprinting to the tank. Also, there are times where you can use the fairy positioning to split heal. Asphodelos second and third circles both come to mind.

But I also feel I must reiterate my original point with more detail. A good Scholar player will pre-position the Fairy in anticipation of fight mechanics, so the fairy's movement speed does not really matter unless it moves at a snail's pace, which it does not.

I'm talking specifically for dungeons. I always place Eos in boss fights. What I'm referring to is during W2W pulls, where she lags behind because she gets no form of speed buff like the players do, and it can be really annoying when I need her at that moment.

I was actually wondering about this would there be any way to just give her your sprint, I haven't had the chance to play with expedient but wouldn't she also be faster. I swore you use to be able to heal her when pets had health bars, so wouldn't it already be in the code to let her have your sprint when you sprint and expedient when it buffs the party it buffs her too. It might not be doable but I would like something like this as well. I made a silly post about her being able to sit on your head or shoulder like a minion at least when running, with the pet command Heel she comes back to you from where ever you placed her so maybe add to that command or change it to something else because the command Heel and follow do the same thing if memory serves.

I have had her lag behind so far somehow that she just up and leaves for no reason because she gets stuck on something similar to if you follow a friend and come back to your character running into a wall. At least you don't sink into the earth like in swtor. I sware that would happen to me every day even multiple times a day >.< If I followed someone on my mount it was back to the teleport area because I would come back to my character dead flying through space like those old video games and you break out of bounds.

Just wanted to give this a quick bump. With Troia having long sections of empty hallways in the beginning/middle of the dungeon, the issue with Eos/Selene lagging behind in dungeon pulls is becoming more apparent.
I realize this is a relatively minor issue compared to the rest of the things healers are facing, but it would be a very welcome QoL change nonetheless.

I found that the issue disappears the more proactive you become about your movement. Initially I had issues with the fairy lagging behind too but it turns out my Scholar was also very far behind. If your mindset is just to follow the tank and heal you end up being at the edge of maximum healing range all the time and if the Tank sprints away you are now struggling to keep up. If your mindset is instead to do the maximum damage you are always keeping up with the tank applying your dot while they move and using Art of War in close proximity once they stop. I tend to watch the enemy HP closely so I can apply a shield to the tank just before dungeon mobs die and then move with the tank seamlessly once the enemies are gone. Paying attention to the enemies will allow a proactive Scholar to move with a tank or even ahead of them within reason. There isn't any benefit to standing far behind a tank and dungeons have pretty clear linear paths so standing at the "gates" that open when enemies die is relatively simple. If you keep up as a Scholar your fairy will too. Nothing your fairy does is a massive burst heal anyway. It's all small healing over time so if that is stoping you from healing well it's time to evaluate how you're using your toolkit. Excogitation, Lustrate, and Adloquium are more than enough to hold a Tank over until your fairy arrives.

For W2W pulls, I always queue Whispering Dawn second, after Protraction and Soil, precisely to let the fairy the time to come.

What if Fairy Summon was an oGCD? Not only would that instantly resummon the fairy on top of you, but it would also help reduce the punishment for dying as a SCH.

I see. I cannot say I've had the same experience. When I'm running dungeons as a Scholar, I quite literally will run with the tank, sometimes ahead of them. I'm very aggressive as a healer, so I'm not "standing far behind a tank" during pulls, but I'm still having issues with Eos lagging behind. It's not stopping me from healing well, but it's still a bit of an irritation to have to deal with.

In regards to your idea Liam (I have no idea how to multi-quote on mobile, sorry!) if they can't make her faster, having the summon be an oGCD could work AND make it slightly less punishing when you die as well. Personally I'd prefer a speed boost, but if they can't make the pets move faster for whatever reason, this would be a nice compromise.

god if only, atm SCH's punishment for death is:

-you heal 25% less
-you lose your aetherflow stacks
-you lose your fairy
-you lose your fae gauge
-you lose your MP

the fact you have part of your kit locked off till you spend an entire GCD to resummon the fairy is pretty dumb considering the other healers dont have that restriction

as sch I'm literally the fastest player in the dungeon even in premades. Fairy is probably faster than the slowest player in the pt

thats why to me kardia beats fairies in content that is not savage or ultimate or if the boss dont do mechs that lets them be untargetable. I struggle whenever i try big pull with sch, never issue with whm ast or sage.

They should teleport to your side like minions if you go too far away, instead of dismissing.
