It's still a point-blank AoE spell, and unless SE decides to make AoE DPS matter in Savage raids with another trash fight each tier, this isn't going to affect anything important. They deserve the AoE nerf regardless because they're able to spam Miasma II rather easily in casual content because of all the single target healing cooldowns you can weave while spamming Miasma II. The only concern I have is the ramp up damage (which is 20/50/90 for those first 3 GCDs back to back), being too weak, but if it's too strong initially or ramps up too fast then it replaces Broil and Ruin II again, and that's what I'm trying to eliminate here.

As for their DoTs, revert the Bane nerf if their AoE is absolutely horrible as a result of this. By changing the spell to Putrefy it's no longer able to be spread by Bane too, so there's nothing to worry about there.

I don't feel Ruin II needs a replacement or upgrade either. Weaving should have a significant cost on their DPS since they're the only healer that's able to double weave on demand, and you should be trying to do that over single weaves whenever possible.

Also Fey Wind + Chain beats out AST's contributions with cards, making Selene much more viable with a stronger version of Fey Covenant while nerfing Eos at the same time facilitates using her more frequently in order to access Fey Wind more often, though she remains weaker in terms of healing throughput as intended. The Fey Cradle change is there to help with the Indom changes and doesn't affect Fairy balance when both are able to access it.
