    Wanna know a secret? I never put my damn fairy on obey becuase theres no way I'm dealing with the extra buttons on top of all the other stuff I have to manage. I dont have a gaming mouse or keyboard either theres only so many practical keybinds possible.

    Until this game recieves significant and much needed ability pruning/merging, I'm not going to manually manage pets.

She Embrace's freely, I tell her when to do everything else. I'm a controller player.

    It took a while to get there, but you need to actually manage her if you want to be proficient. If the pet is too cumbersome, and too many buttons is an issue, White Mage is right there.

    I switched to AST and later WHM for precisely the same reasons, but leveled SCH first and foremost in Stormblood, and just rearranged my entire hotbar layout and viola, it made sense. I had room for the stuff I needed.

    Whispering Dawn is MP free, 100 potency, and AoE.

    I like the idea of Selenes embrace potency going up a bit, although for silent dusk i'd really just like to see a weakened version of the old Virus/Disable instead of a silence. Cant really change the CDs since both fairies share the CDs.

    After seeing Alphinaud pop out that Rainbow (or was it platinum) Carbuncle during the SB MSQ and it be able to create a designated area of protection for the WoL, it'd be interesting to see Selene obtain some kind of similar AOE buff to make her competitive against Eos and also the AST cards.

    To avoid it from being OP or eclipsing Sacred Soil, it could just be like a buffed Apocostasis or Palisades to multiple allies within a small area but for a short time. Alternatively perhaps a temporary HP boost, as at the moment only BRD has such a wide buff available or even a Fey Wind Upgrade.

    Sacred soil is already outclassed by almost everything in the AF toolkit so I wouldn't worry about that.

    No. I'm not leveling another class for quite some time, I've had enough of leveling to last me a while. If I can find room on my normal keyboard to make 3 more decently usable keybinds i may consider manual pet management, but right now I'm kept quite busy managing the way too many skills I have already.

    Fair enough. That's your call.

    I'd recommend looking up some other player's keybind's or macros to make everything easier.

    If anything, having access to those skills will give you more DPS up time and less MP strain.

    - Replace Silent Dusk with Physical Defense buff, basically the counterpart of Fey Covenant.
    - Buff Selene's Embrace back to 300.
    - I'd like to see Fey Wind come up a bit, but I don't feel strongly about it if those other two changes were to happen.

    So... for Stormblood, they removed/consolidated out 6 slots and only added 3 new ones. If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it.

    Playing SCH with the Faerie on Sic is a substantial handicap. It sounds like you are playing on PC, so I may not be able to give you much in terms of recommendations (PS4 player). I'm sure there are ways to do it. As a PS4 player, I had to work very hard (especially in 3.x) to make it work. If I hadn't been able to figure that out, I probably would have probably switched to WHM. Hotbar management is so much easier for WHM.

    I'm sure if I had access to such things like a gaming mouse or keyboard I'd be able to make decent keybinds for everything but I struggle to pay bills and a sub.
