Note that this was a few weeks after patch 4.1 early on in Stormblood. SCH had been course corrected after it's initial murder at the hands of 4.0.

If was to rewrite it today, I'd definitely take advantage of newer additions such as charges to add additional utility to abilities whilst avoiding bloat such as Fey Antithesis to swap fairies without the additional buffs whilst it was on cooldown to save likely needing to pocket Swiftcast after a Selene burst cycle.

Other than that I think it still holds up pretty well as a concept. It would fit in pretty well with the focus on burst windows that we have now whilst offering some flexibility if you fall out of sync removing the need to skip an entire 2 minute burst to get back in alignment with the group. IMHO it'd offer a little more potential for engagement with how powerful 'throwing' fairy abilities would be. Lastly, it'd give the illusion of being a very pet centric healer once again, despite the pet really being nothing more than a minion/crosshair. It'd reward aggressive play in a more meaningful manner than the speedy aetherflow IMO somewhat similar to how Misery rewards good usage of Lilies.
