Ruin II is still the same spell, both mechanically and visually than it was in ARR (Though we lost that "Blind" effect that made it somewhat unique), Energy Drain has lost potency but its still the same conflicting ability with the same outdated visuals than it was in ARR.

    SCH's kit seems to be leaning further and further into the Fairy aesthetic, and yet our fairy has lost mechanical depth over the years with the loss of Rouse, Selene's unique skills and pet management in general.
    Selene removal makes me think they'll either revamp the entire fairy system or just remove it altogether to the point where it's gonna sit there and do nothing, like SMN pet. Then we will "summon" the fairy to do the actual job.

    It's already as bare as it can be. There is still a remnant of mechanical play in the fact that the Whispering Dawn, Fey Blessing and Fey Illumination abilities source out from the fairy location so thinking about where to place your "Totem" fairy still means something (Even if the new range buffs dumb it down.)

    The only thing that the Fairy pet actively does different than SMN's is the Embrace casts.

    Also love the fact Whispering Dawn is in weaker potency than Physis (and Physis II), whereas Physis II does both heal + HP recovery by 10%, but SGE skill has 30 yalms but SE gave Whispering Dawn double middle finger and moved on.

    This is how you spot favoritism.

    Quick edit: They could've fused Fey Illumination with Whispering Dawn and give it 30 yalms is what I'm trying to say.
