Tank Fairy

*reaches over for popcorn*

SCH is a lot like RDM in that "other" game, can pretty much solo everything except dungeon bosses, and even then can kite for a bit before raising team.

We don't need as many fairys as Summoners have egi's. We get the job done with what we have.

I did suggest a tank fairy in the past on another thread, but have since changed my mind. I really do think what we have now for SCH is enough, from what little content I've completed, being a filthy casual. The only hole in the job I've noticed is a possible enhancement to mind traits, and maybe another group heal spell.

We need more fairies for fun and variety of gameplay, but tank fairy should be low on the list.

No one wants SCHs using a tank fairy in dungeons any more than they want to see SMN with Titan-Egi.

But has anyone tested if the fairies hp scale with the sch's max hp?

Fairy HP scales with your VIT. I wear some VIT / Crit melded i90 crafted accessories on my SCH because I prefer that itemization versus the others and my Fairy has 5.4K HP while I have like 5.8K, I think.

On topic - why have a tank fairy when you have a little heal bot fairy healing you while you tank? =p

DPS fairy.

I miss carby.

The premise made me say wtf out loud. I can bodytank just about everything I'll need to face alone no sweat.

What I need is a hard crowd control skill that I can use to interrupt enemy casts. No Selene doesn't count.

Eos is pretty much a tank fairy for low level roulettes. And I've found she does a better job tanking than some of the GLD and MRD I've seen.

Ooooo I love this topic people go full retard ^^

SCH doesnt need an actual tank as a pet like SMN, but we know SE likes to maintain balance where there are similarities.

SMN has 3 summons so in time most likely SCH will get a 3rd plus Eos and selene are from greek mythology where they have a brother helios; the sun god. It would make sense for Helios to bring a refresh tp/mp element to SCH but that would be OP unless WHM gets a nice expansion. Or they could draw straight from mythology just mirror selene but in reverse seeing as she is the moon, and the helios the sun so he could indirectly infringe on enemy's dps or potency.

Unless that man-fairy comes with a subligar, I'm vehemently against it. Just because.

I'm very afraid that they will give us a completely useless new fairy, tbh.

Selene is only useful because A) BLMs, B) Eos is almost always redundant, and C) BLMs. Her buff to raid DPS is actually pretty tiny except when you have a party of SS-stacking BLMs. A fairy that debuffed enemies in direct contrast to how Selene buffs allies would almost certainly live on a shelf next to Eos since damage mitigation and healing are both pretty well covered without their help.

If they give us an extreme niche fairy like this, hopefully its unique abilities will be more fun than hitting a party buff every 30 seconds.
