    So because I'm on mobile I really can't go and quote your other reply, but you asked the same thing. The argument of "you telling your fairy to do multiple things is making the fairy tale up to 10 seconds to use an ability" is completely irrelevant and it misses the problem entirely. If I use MY oGCD to tell fairy to use WD followed by fey blessing, or w/e, I should get both, immediately,after I press the buttons, regardless of what fairy is doing. If the game wants to treat them like pet GCDs then they need to go back on the pet hotbar (which is funny, because when they WERE on the pet hotbar they never had a delay even close to this horrid).

    The only punishment you should ever have for misusing your resources is not having that resource later if/when you need it. You do not punish a WHM by using benediction->tetra on the same target by not having that tetra wait to go off 4-5 seconds later, they're punished by needing that tetra later and not having it. The same should apply to any resource. If someone manages their pet badly and uses an ability when it isn't needed, then their punishment should be not having that ability later when they need it.

    Make SCH great again! Seriously though, we just want our class to be fun and engaging again, not OP, is that too much to ask for?

    This. I could heal multiple targets relatively easily and the fairy was decently responsive. Now she's not. It's that simple.

    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]

    But it's not a random delay as you portray it (e.g. "It can take, and I timed this, up to 10 seconds for it to use an ability"), nor is it broken. It's a fundamental misunderstanding on your part on how the fairy works.

    Whether you should or shouldn't get the effects immediately is another discussion that has balance implications: should the fairy's abilities be instant?

    I did not label it as random or intended. I labeled it as the delay is a major problem and it's broken, which it is. It's absurd that you have to wait for an effect to go off after you use an oGCD. whether that is intended or not, it's broken ridiculous design and it needs to be fixed.
