    But the question is: Is the opportunity cost for losing the fairy worth the resources gained?

    I submit that it is not.

    Say you use it on DPS like most people say you should. It's 300 potency for a complete loss of fairy healing for 30s. That is a single extra Broil every 2 min. You're not exactly contributing more to the fight than if you didn't press that button.

    That'd be like saying to Sage: When you use Rhiozomata your Kardia is removed from the target and you can't use Physis for 30s and your Addersting generation is stopped.

    Now, if Quickened Aetherflow was still around, that would be a different story but CBU3 removed it.

    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]
