So Eos/Selene's healing just sucks now?

Right now I don't think it's a question of whether or not it's a balanced class (at the very least it fulfills its role as a healer and more). It's more of a question of: how fluid does it feel to play? Dissipation feels like it gives a false choice. 20% healing bonus and 3 aetherflow stacks????. Wow what a great deal!

Well except that you lose more than 20% of your healing power by saccing the fairy and only 3 of your healing abilities are even affected by that increase. It's not like SCH was wanting more emergency healing ability being the best emergency healer in the game already....and right now the extra 3 aetherflow stacks are only needed if you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally screw up somewhere.

It's kind of like the debate about Wanderer's Minuet. It's necessary to output enough DPS to warrant your spot in a party, but it also totally changes the way a BRD plays. It could be balanced. Doesn't change the fact that it felt clunky as hell and didn't fit the BRD playstyle.

I cannot see Dissipation as anything remotely close to WM. WM is a poorly implemented skill because the Devs clearly don't playtest things enough. 20% damage increase at the cost of 23% of your damage is so mindblowingly stupid that I have to wonder if the Devs even play the game.

Dissipation is a terrible and weak skill, but it's not what this thread is about. This is a thread about Fairies having weak potencies, not about a near useless ability.

Um. It's almost identical. Because your auto attack (embrace) (~40%) is more than the heal potency buff (20%).

The only thing that makes me think as to why fairy heals suck is... Rouse and Fey Illumination. If the increase is additive, then that's +60% healing from Eos' Embrace. Otherwise, it will be +68% which is pretty huge and scales VERY GOOD as gear gets better.

One possible fix is to rework how Rouse interacts with SCH fairies so that when active, it adds a flat potency to Embrace and Whispering Dawn while maintaining the scaling of fairy heals to caster's gear as it did pre-HW and keep Fey Illumination as is.
