Possible expansion SCH concern

[XNihili]

WHM get Holy, so i don't see a problem with SCH getting a fairy that can attack...
Selene is already a damage buff oriented fairy, and the SCH still aren't going: omg i'm DD!
Don't confuse your own playstyle, with options for ppl that might want to do a little more damage, when they solo, or in some party situations.
If you're SCH main...doing Alex maps, FATEs or whatever, solo....can be quite a bother; getting a little bit of extra damage would be nice.

Except when you need a spike damage to kill the timed bombs that spawn together with the golem in Alexandrite maps, SCH have an easier time to solo stuff thant DPS. Slower but easier.

Warrior has the easiest time, and a lot faster :P

Shadowflare+Bane+Miasma II kills them all outright except for one, which you can nuke down in a moment. Just drag golem to them for the bane, and the rest is cake.

why would you bane shadowflare?? it's already a static dot AOE, so you cant *spread it* and Miasma II is weak.

For Alex maps, I solo'd all for novus on sch and never had a single issue. You put the dots on the golem (or one of the bombs) and then bane those + shadowflare on all + miasma 2. SCH is super easy to solo damn near anything in the open world including some peisteskin maps ... although you are gambling when attempting this. SCH has absolutely no need for dps fairy and would be kind of ridiculous to even consider adding one imo.

That said, I do agree with adding a new fairy if it can be balanced properly. Specifically, not making it so over powered for existing "harder" content. (i.e. doesn't break 2nd coil)

I think a viable option could be a fairy that has tp and mp regen spells? That would be interesting to me. This could open the door for harder dps checks where brd needs to either foe or no song and still provide much needed tp/mp in certain situations.

You Bane because you should already have DoTs running on the golem.

You Shadowflare because it's a 250 potency AoE over 30 seconds and will tick while you do other things.

You Miasma II because it's worth it when you have multiple targets clumped up. The combined potency over 10 seconds is a win.

you worded it as if shadowflare and miasma II would instantly kill the bombs.

I think you were the only one confused by the wording. The meaning was pretty obvious.

usually what i write, makes perfect sense to me too, but not to others
"Shadowflare+Bane+Miasma II kills them all outright" yes pretty obvious.
i saw a SMN spend an entire dungeon run, casting only energy drain, and Miasma 2, and ruin...so i wouldn't know if you thought bane would work on shadowflare -.-
