Can we make Eos and Selene one button?

[IckeDerTyp]

Oh Selene how I misseth thee~

Nothing was cooler than having to fae dance.

Not even Royal Road :3

[KDSilver]

can't we just have faeries that do different things back instead?

They can still be the same button.
Just make Eos summoned by default and just make that button swap fairy.

[Anienai]

Selene is THICCER!

The day they make both pets different is probably the day they finally make Fairy skills work on their GCD (Pet GCD skills instead) rather than a command on the Scholar's part (Scholar oGCD -> Pet oGCD). Stormblood iteration of Scholar is pretty much the ideal way to control pet skill activations.
Otherwise we still have ridiculous amounts of Ghosting.

Yes I think this is the number one issue with fairies. They can keep "improving" the AI every other expansion but it will always be clunkier compared to literally every other oGCD in the game because you're commanding another entity to do it. Please bring back pet GCDs, and bring back manual Embrace and change Obey/Sic so the fairy only auto Embraces and not use her other spells.

Then have a single Summon Faerie button that has a cast time if no faerie is out but thereafter becomes an instant oGCD that quickswaps faeries. Potential button bloat eliminated. Regardless, swapping faeries to access the other set of actions needs to be instant and oGCD or else we'll still have the problem of people only ever using one of the faeries.

Agreed, if we want to encourage swapping Eos/Selene consistently in a fight then there should be a way to change them losslessly. I'd personally like for Dissipation to change to that kind of oGCD, put it at 60/90s and make it swap the fairy and lock Summon for 20s, and it can put Rouse on her as well. Or it can grant 30 fairy gauge and change the gauge to a bar that Rouses the fairy since Aetherpact sucks and I hate it.

We might see some rework to Scholar since Astrologian cards are getting reworked for 7.0 and Scholar is suppose to rival Astrologian as the buffing healer. So we could see some big changes to scholar too. Just have to wait and see.

and Esuna barely sees use.

While rather niche, I'd consider oGCD aoe Esuna an incredible advantage, even if you only need to cleanse 1-2 people.

It's an incredible advantage when usable, but we have yet to see Esuna in P1S-P8S or DSR (TEA had Throttle, maybe the next ultimate will do something with Esuna again). In any case, I'd prefer for it to be an additional effect instead of taking a whole slot. For example, Selene's 120s CD could be 15% magic defense + AoE Esuna and Eos's 120s CD could be 5% magic defense + 15% heal GCD potency buff.

Just wondering if we can make Eos and Selene one button. They can both be out and just hang around each other. Eos can do the animation for Whispering Dawn and Selene can do the animation for Fey Illumination. Then they can do a little dbz fusion animation or something for Seraph. They could even have a little idle animation where they chat. It's sad that they're sisters yet never get to hang out with each other.

At first I was wondering wth you are talking about. Then….oh a macro like with SMN pets. Get rid of an extra button for something else? I’m for it.

[Succor]

It's weird why they removed differences between the two fairies in the first place.
