Or at least make it so that if you command the fairy to use an ability, the effect always goes off even if the fairy is in a transition between Eos / Seraph.r
    After playing the new version of SMN, I honestly think this is going to be the best way to go. Some may not like it, but the current state isn't optimal.

And then you soon realise that your healing oGCDs are powerful enough to deal with the vast majority of the healing, so you have a bunch of ‘heals target’ spells (and even some oGCDs) you don’t want to use, 1 attack spell you use every 30 seconds and 1 attack spell you use for like 90% of a fight.
    I basically called this the second I saw they finalized what they were doing with healer spells.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
