And I find it hard to believe that a bug like fairy abilities taking ages to go off "slipped through". It's blatantly obvious if you play the class in any content. I think it's more likely that they knew it was happening but decided to let it happen because they didn't have time to fix it and they wanted to shift the fairy heals onto the gcd (another unpopular change). And I can kinda understand that. That's the sort ignorance change you wouldn't want to make in a patch. And I can also understand if they have other things on their plate that take higher priority, but as has been said before, some communication would be nice. A "we know there's this issue and we plan to fix it just we don't have time right now" would improve things a lot.
Telling them the Job is worse without said skill and getting it back IS indeed progress to fixing and making a Job fun to play again.
I hope your counter-argument isn't "Well it will just get taken away again"

Personally, Id rather Advocate to give me control of the Fairy back. Back in SB I liked Using both my skills and the Fairy skills at the same time. Because IMO even back then the Fairy was slow. So this sounds less like a Bug, and more like they need to improve the AI. Partner AI healers can be just as bad.
How do we fix this, or even get it improved? By, SAYING something. And then we have to wait.
And lets be honest...even IF they communicated that outright, we'd still be in the same situation. They were honest that they have some limitations that stop them from doing something, and boom, people are complaining "Oh SE and the Devs dont care about us"
