How To Train Your Faerie: A Comprehensive Guide

[Manuka]

Anyone else having this trouble? Or is it just me? Any ideas on a fix too?

Yup, the fairies underwent a stealth change to their AI in 2.5. As of now fairy abilities will be refunded if they are interrupted prematurely. Really good if Whispering Dawn gets interrupted, but terrible for the embrace interrupt macros. As it is now whenever you use those macros while people are under 80% her embrace gets refunded an she instantly starts casting again. From my experience it's basically a 50/50 whether you can sneak the action in-between the auto-embraces.

That said not all is bad news, the fairies now seem to be able to queue their CD's while auto-embracing. From what I've tested if multiple people are under 80% and you tap say, Fey Illum, she will finish embrace, immediately cast FI and then go back to auto-embracing. Warning though this only seems to apply to Embrace's done by the AI, if you manually click embrace then tap FI it won't queue up.

Thank you so much for the info! I have spent most of my time crafting since 2.5 but have noticed the faerie's behavior seemed off. On the bright side, it sounds like they may have fixed the underlying problems most of my guide spends addressing. I may have a lot of work ahead of me to test things and rewrite this guide. :/

P.S. Thank you, Manuka. The best part of my guide (interrupt macros) I learned from you originally.
