They took away Rouse and control and put it on a garbage ability that doesn't even last long enough for it to be significant.

The fact that we even have the Gauge is still rediculous. It's for one skill, one damn skill. Why not just put it on a freaking cooldown instead of all this building non sense for a extremely underwhelming ability?

If the Tether gave someone like an increase to damage and movement speed, then totally worth the build, but basically a Roused Embrace?

Why?

That's what I've been saying! It takes so long to build up (~2 mins if you don't wait for Lily to come back after using Dissipation, if you use that at all), and what do you get for all that effort? MORE HEALING. It's... just... why? Two expansions in a row where the capstone was just bleh, and, from what it's looking like, the defense + movement buff is going to be a capstone as well. Just... what is it with them and not knowing how to make a SCH capstone ability?!

Fey Union is the most interestingly built-in heal in the game in terms of mechanics. Most healing oGCDs don't even have one. Fey Union can actually be maintained for 51s at level cap because of the way it interacts with other abilities.

The place where I find myself using more than 10 ticks regularly is the wall-to-wall pull after the first boss in Ala Mhigo. That pull consists of roughly 15-20 mobs and some of them have tank busters. Having 270 ticking regen every 3s is awesome because I want all of my GCDs to go for AoR. The fairy is basically healing almost the same amount as me in that instance. For that pull in most cases I use 2 Excogs and 5 Lustratres, that's 4600 potency. The 6 AE abilities that I use during the pull increase the ticks of Fey Union up to 16, that's 4320 + 560 from WD which is used at the start of the pull. It is very noticeable for me when I try to do that pull without Fey Union stacked. I always end up casting a couple of Aldo's after using Dissipation which is bad.

Two skills.

Fey Union and Fey Blessing (lol). I'd honestly prefer Fey Blessing have 2 charges and a 30s recharge at this point. I might actually use it then.

Well technically speaking, since Broil is 1,5s (not need to weave it) now and Fey Blessing cost no Fey Gauge, it'll has more uses.
Don't get me wrong though, it doesn't miraculously make it be awesome. It's less bad.

That said... Fey gauge definitly need something else to spend it on.

A boost to the potency would be nice
It's not that strong when you take into account that the fairy stops healing

Another thing that would make it good would be stronger boss AA. Too many bosses spend 80% of the fight casting which makes tank heal requirement quite low. Even including TB as most TB require a swap (thus no heal after the blow)

^ This, even allowing some bosses to keep auto attacking through casts would make huge impact.
