And he is not the one ranting about chocobos being better healers than fairies, which is virtually a non-issue and never will become one unless chocobos steal your spot in a raid !

Ask for a fairy boost, and that's it ... Good news though : it's has been asked long before this thread appeared ... so ... what's the point really ? A chocobo killed your parents or something ?
Except he is directly comparing the potency to Regen vs Embrace, using the 100 potency higher on Embrace as some sort of validation, as if Embrace is healing for more than Regen? It isn't. He is overselling the fairy's raw healing which is a mistake a lot of players who know nothing about Scholar often do. They seem to believe the fairy is this magical oGCD machine which heals everything perfectly, forgetting that the SCH's actual healing kit is significantly weaker than the others as it is (intended) to be balanced around use of the fairy. He claims it is hardly a nerf but literally 50 ilvls higher, the fairy is just barely healing for what they did in 3.X and HP pools are nowhere near the same.

The chocobo is used as an example to show how far the fairy has fallen.
