Post-Split, Caduceus keeps killing my pet :(

[hamsteak]

i manually heal with my fairy, but i still place her at the side of the boss (near the back) so that she doesn't try to heal someone who got hit by poison

it's safer to have her get hit by a tail swipe instead of a hoodswing since the tail swipe does pretty much nothing to her, but hoodswing will almost always one shot her

if your tank has to move (luckily) we are now able to command pets while casting so just move your fairy away from the boss if the tank has to turn it to jump on another platform (i have the pet bar keybound for situations like this)

I place my fairy to proc tail swipe

I don't think you know what "efficiency" means.

I haven't read kris post but you don't know much about effieincy ever because fairies react faster on place then heel

Why do people keep saying this?

NO ONE SHOULD LET THEIR PET AUTO-CAST EMBRACE.

You should be manually using Embrace 24/7.

i place her on the wall in AK.. next to a pillar on the last boss in AK.. at ifrits right foot in ifrit HM.. the rest of endgame i dont really see a point.. yea she casts aoe, but if thats what keeps your tank alive you need a new role, atm there is no huge deciding reason why i should place eos you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9xGruTtzvQ i don't bother with placing, i do however manually use embrace.. i guess everyones playstyle is different

ps. when using selene the game changes, i do then place her as i cycle through her two main buffs

Actually, Demon Wall and Cadaceus were the only places that fairy should be placed. Anything else was optional.

I cannot imagine being even a remotely good healer by leaving my fairy to auto-heal whoever she pleases, her AI simply isn't that good. Maybe it was okay back when we couldn't control her while casting, but now there's no excuse. It gives you far more flexibility on who should be healed, as well as allowing you to precast heals.

On a boss like Caduceus, yes, I want her to be healing the tank even when they're at full health as it allows me to heal them that much sooner after they take damage. If I waited for her to decide when to start healing, the tank is likely to suffer another hit before she's done, which is something you don't want when fighting a boss that's capable of dealing 50-70% of the tank's health in damage in less than a second.
