    1. These changes to the fairy will make her disappear even more, since placement matters a lot less without the constant embraces and laggy follow.

    2. This aetherflow trait will grant massive amounts of Fey Gauge, way more than you can possibly use on healing. GCDs alone will grant you enough Fey Gauge to use Dissipation on cooldown. 3 Libras per minute + Dissipation makes for 7 Schemas per minute. If you blow all of these on Aetherohelix in the Libra window, you get 140 Fae Gauge back. Per minute. And Dissipation is already on CD. Since Indom/Lustrate/Sacred Soil/Exco have the same potencies, this is the same as ShB SCH having 7 Aetherflow stacks per minute, without the DPS opportunity cost of Energy Drain. This is without counting in Seraph, which brings in a fresh 50 per minute. I don't have to explain how this deluge of resources obliterates any requirement for careful management. You'll always have enough Fey Gauge for everything.

    3. This version of Chain Stratagem is fairly weak, especially since it has to be counted against 3 crit Aetherohelix.

    4. Most of the new cooldown-based Schema skills have to be counted against crit Aetherohelix in terms of DPS alone (since healing skills are basically freebies).

      1. Emergency Tactics looks a lot like swiftcast. Using it on a Broil will give you ~140 extra potency (x1.5 crit) assuming you wouldn't have crit otherwise. No good against crit Aetherohelix.

      2. Deployment Tactics is worth it and becomes the new Bane.

      3. For Tabula Rasa to be worth it its Kaustra effect needs to deal more damage than crit Aetherohelix. Since there's no potencies there's no way to tell.

    5. These are a lot of OGCDs to use. I really hope Meltdown is a separate button to Ruin II, not just an in-place upgrade, and that its proc chance is fairly high, otherwise there's just gonna be a shitton of Ruin II weaving.

    Given that I changed FG to be the resource of oGCD healing it worried me we would not have the instant stacks that AF grants so I changed what skills granted FG. Initially, none of the Schema skills granted FG and the only way to produce FG was the use of GCD Casts.

    Aetherohelix wasn't initially in my design but it worried we did not have a SCH dump in case we got too many.

    Initially, I had designed Indomitability and Sacred Soil to fire off from the fairy but it felt too clunky, especially for SS. I wanted to give the Fairy placement and who you'd assign her too a lot of importance.
