Sch change makes me really upset and makes me think I might give up being a healer.

First off. Selene...isnt as great as you think she is. Her haste buff is only about an extra HALF of a gcd each minute. While I've had a few moments where I've been able to land her silence, the fact its tied to a pet delay makes it feel spotty compared to a ranged or tank ogcd interrupt. Fey Caress is one of those skills that are fantastic when you can use it, but useless in every other case, especially now that esuna is tied to a role action.

Eos' extra healing and (albeit magic only) mitigation, on the other hand, is what allows you to deal more damage and lean more of your healing onto your pet. Free healing= less healing you have to do = more damage you can deal.

And yes, you will still be able to have some level of control over your fairy come shadowbringers. You can still place her on the tanks butt to make her ai favor them due to her going by proximity when selecting a target. And even then, it's kinda nerfed now. And if you really really need to have her heal someone use Aetherpact and make her tether to the person. The only difference now is you have to do an off global command to make her do shttp://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=5019691tuff.

It's a shame then, I actually wouldnt mind keeping Selene's silence with this pet rework since it would be much much more reliable to utilize. It also would've given sch something else unique in being the only healer who can do interrupts.

Her haste buff is useful to me too though? So I can do more solo target adlos instead of relying more heavily on the aoe heals which aren't as effective. I use fey caress a lot honestly. just so i don't have to wait for the cast time of esuna. Especially when multiple people are getting hit with bleeding cause that dot is good at killing hp fast. I've barely even done any 70 content so I haven't had much use of aetherpact yet. Most of the content in the game is under that. I got really bored in stormblood and am only just now doing lvl70 content. Silence was always pretty reliable for me even when I had garbage 15 fps because of my lame duck former computer.

I assure you haste feeling useful to you is entirely a placebo, even with 100% uptime on spell casting its effect basically isn't perceptible outside of bleeding edge parse pushing
