You're right. I should back up a little and say that it isn't always easy to determine the best place to put your fairy. Some fights have heavy dodge mechanics making it difficult to take Eos/Selene off of Heel. Lots of tanks I've grouped with are not conscious, or don't care to be attentive to try and stay in her range forcing me to place her again. And some trash mob fights take place in tight quarters, so you don't have to worry much about range, but you still have to try to keep her out of the fire.

I find that place vs not placed is all about healing efficiency vs mobility. There is no way you have one without sacrificing the other and some of the mechanics in this game require both from its healers, so you have to choose the best time for each. During my short time on these forums, I've picked up the impression that your fairy must ALWAYS be placed. However, my experience in the game has taught me that this is only true when you want to maximize healing efficiency.

The easiest heals are the ones we don't have to do. IOW, best way to reduce dmg taken is to not be there when it happens This includes the dmg to your pet, and unfortunately, they don't have the AI to dodge it themselves so it is much easier to keep your fairy protected when she is on heel Strategic placement of Eos/Selene is one of the things about SCH I really enjoy.
