Are you sure about this? I tested it last night and the accumulated amount prior to Dissipation remained after resummoning the fairy.

it doesn't do that now, I would only want that to happen if the above on my post got added. otherwise it would be too OP. everything needs a drawback and my fix to what I mentioned above it would be to wipe the faerie gauge clean of any points.

Oof, I see, missed the context entirely xD Sorry~

Would be nice if it did work like that but no, it won't save a tank from a 1 shot. You are just seeing it register faster than the HP values are updated.

Allow me to post my two cents:

Besides obviously needing our own Holy at this point, I think Emergency Tactics, our one-time 30s buff, is instead made a toggle buff. This improves SCH's healing potential as now they have an on-demand Medica and Cure II instead of a slightly stronger Cure 1 whenever the fairy gets around to it. The Fairy is supposed to be our Regen. Lacking a really strong, on demand heal that doesn't cost resources makes healing very difficult as I have to pop nearly every single cooldown to do it. On top of this, put the 50 potency lost on Embrace back into Physick. It seems they want SCH to be more of the healing element, not the fairy. This should help in that regard. (tbc)

Also, Dissipation is still horrible and even further flies in the face of what you want SCH to do. Giving us the extra Aetherflow is great if you want us to build up Fairy points... but we can't if the Fairy isn't there! I think maybe making it a free fairy toggle (as in, Eos is switched for Selene and vice versa) would vastly improve its viability. Getting extra Aetherflow (as I'm terribly Aetherflow hungry this expansion) as well as being able to control which Fairy I have active without having to use extra resources (Swiftcast and a chunk of MP) can increase the SCH's flexibility. I may not like Fey's Union, but it's there. This skill does not help it at all.

This may just be a personal thing, but I think the Fairy buffs need work. I mean, why does Eos, the "healing" fairy, have a magic defense buff? Why does Selene, the "support" fairy, have an AoE cleanse? The fairy skills need reworks and reorganization (seriously, who decided it was a good idea to make Eos's first non-Embrace cooldown A PARTY REGEN?!) I think Eos should have an AoE heal cooldown (lv4), AoE Cleanse cooldown (lv20), and AoE Regen cooldown (lv40) while Selene has a targeted physical damage boost (lv4), targeted magic damage boost (lv20), and targeted heal magic received boost (lv40). That's more "support" oriented. Yes, this takes out the magic defense boost, but, tbh, I think that's something the WHM should have.

I know SCH's original design aspect made it the shield healer vs WHM's regen healer, but, since the introduction of AST and its overbuffed Noct Sect, SCH kinda lost that identity. Instead, AST has better shielding but loses all passive healing to use it. SCH still has passive healing in the fairy. Thus, SCH should be a more flexible healer, as in, they can provide big heals, regens, and shields, but they're less effective than the jobs that actually specialize in them. Of course, this is how I feel SCH could define itself from its fellow healers and from SMN further.
