Scholar Fairy, which to use?

[Sylvina]

I heard that a chocobo can even outheal the healing fairy now. Should I be using the buff fairy instead? need more info. I got a free 70 SCH with my 70 SMN and would like to learn to play it (even tho SE can't balance healers so it kinda sucks)

Both fairies is worthless now for healing. All healing spells heal for more than they do now.

one of them isn't supposed to heal it buffs. I'm asking if its better to use that one instead.

Both faries have the same basic healing capabilities. The differences only exist in their cooldowns.

Selene can silence (which is typically irrelevant while also being finnicky to use), dispel in an AoE (which is irrelevant in almost all cases) and can buff 3% attack speed in an AoE with 50% uptime.

Eos has an AoE regen with a 33% uptime, an AoE magic resist buff, and an AoE healing recieved buff.

Eos has far more useful abilities for you, so you'll want to use her most of the time. However, if you want to make use of Selene's buff still, you could try summoning her before a boss fight, using Fey Wind and then Dissipation her away after quickly burning through your initial aetherflow stacks. And then swiftcast Eos back out afterwards.

Generally people use Eos because of Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination, both of which provide more dps openings.
If you're confident you don't need these you could use Selene, but I don't know whether the extra healing you have to provide (and thus less personal dps) is off-set by Fey Wind

To put it more simply, you're better using healing fairy in most situations

They both suck. Use whichever one you want.

False hyperbole.

Fairies should NEVER heal for more than the actual healer does.

As to the OP, Eos is the current preferred fairy due to her more useful cooldowns. Selene's abilities are a bit on the underwhelming side.

Wrong they should heal for same amount as cure 1 since sch lacks in healing spells that a whm and ast have.

Nope. SCH is all about damage mitigation. If you use your spells correctly you don't need the huge heals whm has. Also, I use Eos in dungeons and Selene when solo. It's really up to you which to use but for me, eos is better in group content.

Yeah it's a huge problem that they make SCH heals heal for so much less becuase "fairy" then make the fairy suck so hard.
