The scholar fairy responsiveness is honestly the most unsung hero in the media tour

Now if only both fairies could also do different things again.

There seems to be mixed views on if the responsiveness has improved or not between the streamers. Though it was noted that people were playing remotely. Mr Happy for instance claimed ghosting etc and the fairy didn’t appear much more responsive. Can only help and try it for myself.

I think that Ast Lord of crowns would benefit from being changed to a weak aoe shield applier. That way people dont groan whenever they dont get the
Balance(Lord) and keeps their "we can do a bit of both" identity passively by changing the Minor Arcana uses between preemptive and reactive use rather than one being more useful. Cause lets be honest Ast already has a few aoe heals plus Lightspeed Helios spam in back pocket. Other than that im pretty cool with the changes to it.

Oops meant "But" not "Cause" at the end there.

You know what's hilarious?

Square says they want healers to "focus on healing."

Square also gives non-healer jobs more ways to heal themselves and the party. GNB gets Aurora charges, and Heart of Stone now has a mini-Excog attached to it. DNC gets a party shield from Improvised Finish, in addition to the Curing Waltz it already has. SMN gets a heal with an excog-style triggered regen.

It's like they saw that no-healer E4S run and said, "Yes, more of this, please."

Even if the faerie responsiveness didn't improve like it seems to have. Broil's cast time reduction would naturally spread out the abilities over gcds if you where using them back to back. That is the unsung hero in my personal opinion, while WHM's did absolutely need it due to their own issues Alot of the clunk in the SCH's kit is fixed by that alone. Seeing that clip of Larry doing all those ogcds back to back between Broil casts and just how much smoother it looked on that basis alone has me excited.

Yep, taken in isolation, large chunks of the new kit are pretty forgettable but the nuke cast time will be a pretty significant step towards helping the fairy feel more responsive again. It'll be a nice little DPS gain for WHM as well, no more clipping Assize and PoM.

Putting that question here because I didn't see anything in the media tour infos :
I think the LL mentioned something about a new role action. do we have anything on that, or is it lost with the aoe bonus effects ?

[Semirhage]

According to MTQ, healer role actions are identical to Shadowbringers.

Yeah I don't understand why so much mitigation and party/self healing all over.
We could bring the argument "but more damage are to be expected", but we know we can't fully trust this anymore.
You were"nt pushing that button enough. Do it more and leave the healing to anyone else that isn't a healer.
