I like that idea, and I'm going to add the % chance should be moved up to 30-40%. Maybe it's just my bad luck, but quickened atherflow seems to never proc for me.

Nahh, should work like how Deceptus put it in the Consolidated SCH thread.

Again, must like a promoted MCH turret. The model is already there to be used. SE needs to pull this trigger (pun intended)

Disspiation needs to remove your current fairy and swap to the other one. This would allow for more skillful fairy play.

Meh, renforcing Selene identity as the global team damage enhancer would be better. SCH don't really need more heal, being the off-healer isn't his problem and it shouldn't aim for easier solo healing by just more numbers. That's how WHM does things, not SCH.

Maybe, making the silence into a 15sec duration/120sec cooldown vulnerability up (5% ? 10% seem a bit high with chain stratagem and fey wind up at the same time) could very well do the trick and make the SCH reliable 2 minute CD burst support. Also dissipation as a skill the switch between fairy seems the better way to rework the skill, but simply swiftcasting another should be impossible in battle if one of them is already out.

For fey union, more than linking it to another player, why not link it to the SCH itself giving it a buff ? It fits the job pretty well, it could make either stronger heals with weaker shield against weaker heals with stronger shields depending on wich fairy is out. It would conflict a bit with emergency tactics but not as bad as how the job is right now. I like this idea because it also give more reliable sustain healing for dungeons that just don't make SCH on WHM du to it still locked behind some kind of ressources (fairy gauge).

But that's just wishfull thinking, there's no way to know if something like that could be implanted into the game.

Problem is that nobody uses her in Omega or the EXs atm, or at least I haven't seen her. When all that damage is going out, it's far better to have Eos and her healing enhancing capabilities over a shoddy AoE SS increase...and sadly the AoE Esuna doesn't help when these fights have nothing you can get rid of (except for if you get hit by fire in V3 or Doom at the beginning of V4).

EDIT: You can bypass 1000 characters by editing your posts, btw.

It's pointless to just make Selene do something completly different so that someone play with it.

If you can do without Eos heals, Selene is a damage boost no matter what now that cleric stance is out of the picture. it wouldn't take too much for it to go into the "wouldn't Selene be a DPS gain given how much we know this fight by now ?" territories.

Why do all of our Aetherflow abilities except Lustrate have a lengthy cooldown? Honestly, I think they shouldn't have one. We already make a choice between hitting our Aetherflow cooldowns or using Energy Drain, why should we worry about the cooldown besides? It's not like we can spam them that much as we're locked to 3 a minute (give or take Dissipation, but lol Dissipation).

I mean, if they're afraid that'll break Excog or Sacred Soil, then fine, make them cooldowns. Don't make them cost Aetherflow on top of that. They're already hardly worth the use of Aetherflow. Also, if Excog is no longer an Aetherflow ability, Excog should be passable via Deployment.

Yes! That's something I omitted when I was first typing a reply...remove Excog's Aetherflow cost or reduce its cooldown, something to make it more viable over Lustrate.
