It was extremely fun and is the number 1 complaint about scholars this expansion, with number 2 being selene being deleted and number 3 being the fairy is no longer a pet but soaking your gcds
Honestly I've been desperately missing Selene of late and the utility she brought to even casual content. Eos was always better for healing, but there are several fights, particularly in Alliance Raids, where Selene's mass-esuna was a god send. (Rofocale in Rabanastre coming to mind immediately given how blind most parties tend to be when it comes to his leg hold traps. One click of a button and everyone would be instantly freed and it was frankly so satisfying to do.) Having Eos and Selene basically being reskins of one another now and with all of the faerie utility stripped away that isn't strictly healing focused just made the job all the more dull in my opinion. As did the removal of dot management which, while I was never a hardcore raider back in SB or prior, actually was pretty fun and engaging for me.

What makes me the most despondent however, is the knowledge that in spite of how fed up the general healer community has been with most of the changes made to their classes and the lack of appropriate balance to encounter design to compensate, it's likely only going to get worse in 6.0.
