It's clear they want us to spam Physick seeing they reduced the cast time from 2 to 1.5s.

On the topic of Fey Gauge after playing with it and reading impressions of it I think it more and more strange how long it takes to build to a point where I feel using Fey Union would help. And often hang around with a full gauge for several pulls without using any of it(is this how whms felt about Lilies?) For a change I wondered if Fairy Charges would be better.

Instead of the 100 gauge, everytime you spend Aetherflow you gain a Charge, up to maximun of three. These charges when used augments or change the fairy\\\\\\'s next ability or spell. Something like:
Embrace: Powerful instant heal
Whispering dawn: Instant aoe heal to replace Blessing and Indom.
Fey Covenant: Decrease physical damage aswell as magical
Fey Illumination: Illuminating the area give Blind to enemies
Fey Dusk: Stun for 1s
Fey Caress: Removes all debuffs from party members
Fey Wind: Increase haste to 10%
Seraph becomes its own full summon and her abilities except Veil cost a charge to use.

So spend AF to able to enhance Lily. If things are going well or solo, you use ED to quickly access it. The three maximum is to keep using the fairy as much as possible for the healing part and added support. Fey Union I think could be replaced by a stronger Rouse and an effect of: "During Rouse, fairy will only automatically embrace your current target. Manually casting Embrace overrides this."

Overall idea is to move more of the healing and support back to the fairy.

This would involve my wish of fairy hotbars restored, manual embrace, Aetherflow usable out of combat and ED returned. That wishlist also includes the full arcanist skillset.

The fairy auguments can probably use more thought and sorry if this comes out in bad format, writing on the phone.

Ironically I used it a lot when I could direct Eos' Embrace with a macro. Physick + Embrace wasn't too bad of a combination when all other options failed. Now? If it weren't for the potential of getting low level dungeons in the roulette I'd be tempted to remove it. It's kinda hilarious that they likely knew Physick would lose a lot of it's usage with the faerie nerfs given the decrease in cast time and yet they went ahead with it anyways.

As for the rest of the rubbish, everyone else has already given voice to my issues with the class. I'd trade part of our current godly healing potency for the class to be as complex as it once was. Hell I'd trade some of it for the Faerie Gauge to actually be useful. The class might have no trouble healing right now but it's a mess from almost every design stand point.
