SCH - Faerie Galmour: Discuss!

Seems like they're finally killing off having 2 fairies if they're finally giving us Fairy Glams. What a waste

Most people never touched Selene even when you could swap between them. Eos' Whispering Dawn was just considered too good to give up.

What people considered and what was factual do not coincide.
Eos was the safe option more often than not and even then, there was nothing wrong with using Selene to start the fight before swapping her to Eos. All this decision does is remove any chance of making the Fairies unique again instead of expanding on SCH in any meaningful way.

I always used Selene. The haste was too powerful.

I never touched Selene, but that was because I kept getting a lot of fools for whom I needed Whispering Dawn ASAP to keep up and running. There's a reason why I'm a jaded healer, and ARR/HW pugs are the reasons why.

the sad part is i loved selene more than eos. Selene offered more then eos

SE is very much in favor of removing choice in favor of having "the best choice" be the only option. Unfortunately with 5.x+ job design, there was never a possibility of distinct fairies coming back as long as there would be "the better option" in the current system. They could've made the fairies oGCDs so you could switch between them easily in combat, but instead they opted to keep it the same where you have one fairy out and they stay out for the entirety of the encounter.
Especially with SGE being a SCH clone and for SE wanting SCH and SGE to have parity in their kits, there was no chance of having 2 different fairies again, unfortunately without them copying the system for SGE too.
Unfortunately SCH is more likely to get DPS buttons than to have separate fairies again IMO, and I think there's basically no chance it's getting more DPS buttons any time soon
