You can delay and ghost skills on SMN. Ifrit-Egi and Titan-Egi are annoying. Carbuncle is a burden. I'm wondering if you actually ever played the jobs you are trying to seem knowleadble about.

Soteria is a fire and forget skill, a CD that is independent from the rest of SGE's kit. Fey Union is tied to Aetherflow and can be managed tick per tick. Both skills ultimately heal the designated target tick per tick, so they are clearly quite literally the same skill. Now that thanks to you I'm out of my schizophrenic loop and see things in my head no more, I see the light. Assize and Earthly Star are literally the same skill because they both heal and deal damage at the same time. Sure, you can detonate Star early and its potencies depend on when you do it, but if we ignore this, they are literally the same skill. If you think they have any difference, oh boy, go get that head of yours checked.

For being someone that really likes to use "imo" you sure as hell like to be dismissive of other people's opinions.
I don't completely disagree with their assessment though

Comparing Fey Union and Soteria isn't a huge leap in logic since both have a similar premise to them, which is to enhance the healing output of their respective job mechanic. Soteria being a Fire and Forget skill has some level of disadvantage to it since you can't always rely on it being available but Fey Union also has a myriad of problems with it that far outweigh its own positives. The biggest positive for Fey Union is the ability to stop it from overhealing by just turning it off but other than that, it really isn't that great of a skill. Being unable to use it while Seraph or Dissipation is active while also being unable to use other Fairy abilities without having to reapply the tether make the skill cumbersome to use. The slow build up to reach its full potential is also a negative since you have a finite number of Aetherflow stacks available to build up your Fairy Gauge, even with Dissipation and Recitation usage included; Maybe if the Enhanced Aetherflow Trait was still a thing it wouldn't be so bad but that's neither here nor there so I'm counting it as a negative.

As for Homogeneity of Healers, at this point, we're fighting between 80% vs 81% homogeneity. SE isn't willing to make healer's different enough to matter and any ideas are better than dealing with a clunky mess.
