Fairy Rate of Healing

[Aphel]

Has anyone noticed that the rate at which Eos/Selene casts Embrace is significantly longer?

The fairies used to cast Embrace back-to-back. Now they only do so every 2 seconds.

If you micro them, they do it faster than anything.

I found it to be really noticeable. I used to just leave my fairy placed and have it solo heal on wp bosses while I dps for the whole fight. Now I have to babysit it since it doesn't heal until <%70 and lazily tosses a few embraces every so often. Tacking an embrace macro on my physick is one thing, but having my fairy suddenly fail basic healing is something else entirely

I'm seeing it as well. Thought it was just my lag slowing the fairy down but after two runs it does seem that I need to do more of the healing as well (brayfox)

Yup, I have noticed the change too. Prior to the patch, as long as there was someone who needed healing, Embrace would be cast back to back without interruption. Now, there is a pause of at least 1-2 seconds before another Embrace is cast. What is the cast time of Embrace? Is it less than 2.5 seconds? Maybe it was a bug before and now the faeries' casts respect the GCD. That's the only thing I can think of.

Oh, the cast time is 2 seconds with a cooldown of 3 seconds, which means there should be no delay before the next cast...so I really don't know.

if cast time is 2 seconds and cooldown is three seconds, then she has to wait 1 second before recasting the spell 2 sec cast + 1 sec cooldown = 3 seconds.

The cast time is 3 seconds, if I'm not mistaken, and she has a 3 second CD. She waits longer than that.

I've also noticed that she's not responding as quickly. It used to be if someone dropped below 80% while she was on Obey or Steady, she would immediately start healing them. I've seen her wait until someone drops sub 60% before targeting and healing them. It's kind of annoying. I have too many keybinds as is. lol.

[Hysterior]

and can't use their skill when under steady... need obey but they she does nothing...

need to start working on macros...

Yup. They ninja nerfed the fairys rate of healing, notixed it when it was struggling to keep our well geared tank alive on a normal wp run.

So a phantom nerf? Why do game designers try to be sneaky? Why can't they just be honest about all the changes they're making to the game?
