I'm not mad about it, but I just feel like we're encroaching even more into WHM territory with more HoTs, while also having our cake with unmatched damage mitigation. And the Fairy pet was always a permanent HoT effect. Just feels like too much extra, if that makes sense. But it's what we got now.
I would say it certainly needed something, it was a waste of an Aetherflow stack before it got the regen, Indom was a better response in any situation that wouldn't one-shot someone. The regen effect is good and makes it worth using. But in many fights people can't stay close enough to stay in the bubble because of mechanics.

I will say that it was a bit disheartening that of the new stuff we got for leveling in Shadowbringers level 72 was basic healer damage spell upgrades, and levels 76, 78, and 80 were all AoE Heals. Seraph does at least have a little more to her but Consolation is why I bring her out in extremes. Only Level 74 with Recitation was like an interesting ability.
