I’m not the scholar guy anymore, so if damage buffs on faeries are what real scholar mains want, then by all means listen to them over me, but I don’t really want to see buffs on faeries myself.

I personally disagree with changing Selene into a fairy that increases damage in any way because it would enable the same griefing as back when WHM lilies were a damage loss, it would enable SCH players to do absolutely no healing and claim damage loss when you ask them to pull their weight. We already have this problem now with the people who exclusively use Aetherflow on Energy Drain no matter what, but at least the fairy is always healing, give the option of a damage fairy though and you'll get SCHs that will grief the party by outputting a grand total of 0 healing (depending on whether a damage type fairy retains Embrace or has an autoattack instead) and will cite damage loss when you ask them to do some healing.

It would be like solo healing without the benefits of having a 5th DPS job.

... Whoops. I need to quit doing that. lol genuine question from a baby SCH, what is my skill prio then? I was always doing Fairy everything -> Share crit shield -> use aetherflow/hardcast if in a pinch and ideally save for Energy Drain, but it seems I had it all wrong.

Basically treat energy drain as if it doesn't exist unless it’s 10 seconds till aetherflow comes off CD and you still have 3 stacks of aetherflow

A general prioritisation of “recitation on indom or excog->fairy skills->aetherflow skills->spreadlo->GCD healing” isn’t bad but it’s always best to treat energy drain as if it doesn’t exist until such time as you have no need for aetherflow but to dump it to use aetherflow again, it simply isn’t worth it to do anything else

If you are sufficiently confident with a fight you can energy drain earlier if you know there is simply no way something will need it in the immediate future but that’s more optimisation than anything

Thanks! I'll try to quit griefing my future teams! :'D
