    Pet heals are based on their stats not yours so their output is lower. Their stats are roughly about 60-70% of yours iirc.

    Seraph's strength is that her shields stack and her Embrace adds a shield. That said, she's basically just a buff to Eos/Selene that you can use on cooldown possibly occasionally holding her for a heavy incoming AoE damage phase. She's the new version of Rouse.

    She's also great on trash packs in dungeons and can pretty much heal a full pull herself if you have pre-Excog and Adlo in place and lay down a Sacred Soil.

    This is partly wrong and partly right.

    Pet heals are based of of the SCH stats, but pet potencies are lower than what tooltip shows.

    The 60-70% pet potency tax is roughly right. They do ~30% less healing than their tooltip shows as compared to their SCH companion.

    .

    And yet the fairy is still clunky and ability ghosting still exists to this day since they introduced Seraph.

    The fairy has always been clunky but at least in the past you could mitigate it by forcing her to cast embrace, then SE took that away (because it created a "Skill Gap") and she has been subpar since.

    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]
