Anyone else feeling a hit to SCH?

Yes the fairy is always flying around but in reality its just saving us having to cast a regen once every 20 seconds.

I'd argue you aren't giving the fairy enough credit. It's what allows SCH to spend 90-100% of the time dpsing in all content, barring the occasional adlo. It's also got the attack speed buff, a free AoE Esuna and a silence.

OR it's got a significant AoE Divine Seal, AoE Regen, and AoE magic defense. It's quite a bit more than a glorified Regen.
