I miss being able to tell my Faerie who to heal, and issuing commands to her while I'm already casting, too.

Doubly so when I'm not in a party or in a 24 where the main tank (taking auto attacks) is not in my own.

I think those changes to SCH hit the job at an even more foundational level than the offensive tools being pulled, because it changed how the job was able to tackle its own ROLE.

The only healer actions that make any sense to be limited to party members are AoE heals because they're powerful enough already and Rescue to curb griefing at least somewhat.
