Picking a Healer

[Karnage720]

4 - Keybind Place and Heel. If you don't use Place (or Stay, but I prefer Place) your fairy won't cast heals if you keep moving, since it tries to stay with you. They receive very little AoE damage from bosses so you usually won't have to move them out of 'red stuff'. If you use Place/Stay don't forget to Heel before you move to the next fight or it'll desummon once you get to a certain range.

Is this still true? I've tested this out on several occasions and never found my pet NOT to heal when I'm moving.

The pet can't heal while it's moving to catch up to you. If it's already casting it won't move until the cast is complete...but it won't start a new cast until it stops moving. This isn't too bad until you get to highly mobile fights like Ultima Weapon/Titan/beyond (haven't been to Coil yet)

Hmm, maybe I just haven't noticed then and I've done Titan and T1 boss. I've also decided not to try to micro manage pet until 2.1. Its a lot worse than SMN pet management. However I do have embrace key binded. I find their AI to be pretty decent.
