I pretty much object to anything involving the need to fairy swap. That was a huge annoyance for me for pre ShB SCH. Even if they went the route of SMN and made the cast instant, there is still going to be a delay between when I want Lily to do something and when she actually does it. This has been the ongoing problem with pets for who knows how long now, and with the pet actions removed from the pet hotbar, things are even worse.

Having either Eos or Selene work the previous way doesn't resolve the issue with whichever fairy is currently working under the current system, and again it does not resolve the ongoing issue that stems from the previous version. Wonky AI makes us want more control over our pets, but having total control over them pretty much defeats the purpose of a pet class.

I can't speak for other SCHs but I never really enjoyed the overall micro-managing of Lily. Not because I wanted a more simple version of SCH to play but because I would much rather interact with my pet in a way that doesn't feel like shouting commands at a disobedient child. I don't know what they are going to do to fix it, but as of 5.0, they went the wrong direction.
