Fairy gauge and Fey Union has always been a very underwhelming ability. It is more clunky to use with its activation delay and its slow gauge dependence. Why root the fairy when Fey Union was active? The fairy used to not move at all during Fey Union activation, which required manually moving the fairy, interrupting Embrace casts. Why have gauge lockouts during Seraph? None of the other healers had cooldown lockouts on abilities and spells.

Also, Scholars that knew how to focus-fire Embrace onto tanks made Fey Union especially mediocre. Fey Blessing is such a horribly weak Fairy AoE heal that has such a long cooldown. What is the point of the Fairy gauge if it is almost useless and inconsequential?

Rouse boosted the potency of Fairy spells such as Embrace and Whispering Dawn. However Whispering Dawn got changed to an ability which meant Rouse could not be used with it. They tried increasing the potency of Whispering Dawn to compensate, but it was still weaker than before.

Being a Chain Stratagem bot is not fun game play.
