    Can we have Eos/Selene travel faster, please?

    Basically the title. There's been too many times where I'm sprinting with the Tank during W2W pulls in dungeons, we arrive at the wall and I need Eos to use a skill, but she won't arrive until a good 5-6 seconds later.

    Thoughts on movement skills like Sprint and Peloton also affecting your fairy, or if that's not possible, just giving them better movement speed?

    Honestly the fairy is just a beacon for their skills. I'd rather have the fairy hover over your shoulders and over someone else's whenever you're using Fey Union.

    You're right, she is a beacon for her skills. That's why she shouldn't change. She lets you center her relative to everyone in the party. Sometimes over bad AoEs or missing arena elements.

    I'd like at least one skill that takes advantage of that specifically. A persistent HoT Aura/zone that's basically the AoE Fey Union equivalent is something that seems immediately obvious. It could replace Whispering Dawn outright and I think it'd still be a net positive with the right tuning.

    Or maybe make fairy related abilities operate in a way similar to Curing Waltz, making those skills activate at the center of both the caster and the fairy. (radius adjust accordingly of course)

    Part of being a good SCH player is learning to move your fairy separare from yourself in anticipation of fight mechanics.

    It would be nice for dungeon runs and stuff, If you tell the faerie to stay/place it somewhere just before you run to some mob packs, there's a certain distance where you can command it to follow again and it will teleport right beside you because the distance is great for it to walk - though if it's too far and hasn't been told to folow, it will de-summon itself instead. :/

    Tbh, it's kinda exaggerated since 99% of the time faerie can be placed in the centre of battle arenas and hit everybody, even moreso with Fey Union having a longer range now.

    That is true. But the OP specifically mentioned sprinting to the tank. Also, there are times where you can use the fairy positioning to split heal. Asphodelos second and third circles both come to mind.

    But I also feel I must reiterate my original point with more detail. A good Scholar player will pre-position the Fairy in anticipation of fight mechanics, so the fairy's movement speed does not really matter unless it moves at a snail's pace, which it does not.

    I'm talking specifically for dungeons. I always place Eos in boss fights. What I'm referring to is during W2W pulls, where she lags behind because she gets no form of speed buff like the players do, and it can be really annoying when I need her at that moment.

    I was actually wondering about this would there be any way to just give her your sprint, I haven't had the chance to play with expedient but wouldn't she also be faster. I swore you use to be able to heal her when pets had health bars, so wouldn't it already be in the code to let her have your sprint when you sprint and expedient when it buffs the party it buffs her too. It might not be doable but I would like something like this as well. I made a silly post about her being able to sit on your head or shoulder like a minion at least when running, with the pet command Heel she comes back to you from where ever you placed her so maybe add to that command or change it to something else because the command Heel and follow do the same thing if memory serves.

    I have had her lag behind so far somehow that she just up and leaves for no reason because she gets stuck on something similar to if you follow a friend and come back to your character running into a wall. At least you don't sink into the earth like in swtor. I sware that would happen to me every day even multiple times a day >.< If I followed someone on my mount it was back to the teleport area because I would come back to my character dead flying through space like those old video games and you break out of bounds.

    Just wanted to give this a quick bump. With Troia having long sections of empty hallways in the beginning/middle of the dungeon, the issue with Eos/Selene lagging behind in dungeon pulls is becoming more apparent.
    I realize this is a relatively minor issue compared to the rest of the things healers are facing, but it would be a very welcome QoL change nonetheless.
