    ShB had that too for WHM with the final relic step, Blade's Mercy having butterflies floating (maybe this is what you mean)
    It's a bit confusing when SCH got Expedient which has butterflies too... why do WHM and SCH both have this aesthetic choice present in their items/abilities?

    Nope, I mean the Antiquated Aymur, the artifact gear cane, had butterflies flying around the end. We also got the Lily mechanic in that expansion.

    They do seem to not be able to make up their mind if they want us to be a pretty pretty flower princess or a nun, since from HW, to SB, to ShB we went nun, pretty pretty flower princess, then back to nun. Though in EW they did something new and made us a wedding cake. I think that one has butterflies, too.

    It's kind of the same question:

    Why did WHM get wings via Temperance and SCH didn't? Seems like it would have been more thematic for SCH.

    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]

    This game suffer of mom spaghetti. The first time was great but longer you eat it the longer you cannot stand it. That what I feel like with this game in general. This expansion is a joke in terms transparacy with devs and playerbase. What I notice is Endwalker is semi rework of old content with the same safe content with touch of harvest moon. Don't get me wrong I want to see what about with harvest moon thing. But, devs should let us know this expansion are reworks in general.

    Honestly, it's exactly what you'd expect to get upon eating your fairy.

    Side effects may include: Dry mouth, constipation, a tingling in the shoulder areas, sudden brightness, . . .

    Kinda fits both. WHM is both a CNJ and a pious healer (the naming sense of skills like Holy, Benediction, Divine Benison, Plenary Indulgence, Confession buff, Afflatus Solace, Afflatus Rapture, Tetragrammaton, and Liturgy of the Bell are all based on Divinity/higher power/religion).
    Temperance is basically the "Angelic" form of religion as you are the actual reincarnation of Divine power, or something along those lines as A-Towa's crystal successor.

    SCH's thematic is more like their fairy is the blessed being, but they themselves are the War tactician /strategist. Giving the scholar themselves wings doesn't really fit that scenario, but giving it to the fairy does. If anything, giving SCH Expedient actually makes more sense.
