Looking For Advice

Despite a bit of a run go around for a few rounds, I'm enjoying myself in FL, but I wanted to get some feedback from the more savvy:

I enjoy sch in FL. The sense of kill denial from lustrate feels great and all, and I know I'm supposed to keep shields, protect and stoneskin up as much as I can, but even then I often find myself not doing a whole lot mid fight.

So I started to use miasma and miasma ll on enemies to slow them down and the infirmary debuff helps the kill, but should I be doing that as often as I can? Or should that fall to the summoners?

Is it also worth me putting my dots on people and baneing? Or should I just do that off the ice?

Any other tips are welcome.

You got the basics down but you can focus on Emergency Tactics and experiment with DPS as well. Also depends on which fairy your using. Try it on some Fates with Chocobo out and see what you can do.

I had some fun experimenting around until I discovered how dumb pets were and fairies always randomly running away and despawning <_<

I decided to branch out and try some other jobs and I'm enjoying sneaking around as ninja and trick attacking someone when they least expect it.

And from my understanding all the melee just pump out as much damage as they can between CC effects and LB high priority targets and/or ice.

But yeah, my idea of ninja is probably wrong:
Deny base captures by staying hidden and trick attacking out onto them and blowing all my damage CDs for the kill
or
sneak into enemy lines and take down a caster or healer while everyone else seems distracted and try to shukuchi out and back into stealth.

Miasma/II doesn't not heavy in PvP. I would tell you to use Miasma II more but in FL you probably shouldn't be jumping into that many people just to put the debuff on them. As a healer since you can't use cleric you shouldn't really be dpsing that much. Just mainly focusing on healer. This applies even moreso on the ice crystals in Shatter. These crystals' magic defense has been buffed by 50% in 3.3 and the magic damage they take is about like 50-60% what you normally do to players so it's not even worth it for like 30-40 damage dot ticks for SCH.

Place your fairy separate from yourself. She's a good healer when she's standing still. As soon as she starts moving, she's dead weight. Think about placement and escape routes if you get focused. That's how I scholar, at least. Stop letting Eos run off and heal people on her own and she'll stop despawning. Get in the habit of seeing her as a co healer and she becomes your best friend. Know what she's doing at all times.
