SCH - faerie placement ability

[Lilysparkle]

I'm sorry if someone has posted something like this already. I've recently come to appreciate how useful this is. I'm only lvl 47 at time of writing. In some of the dungeons and fights recently, I've discovered that carefully managing the placement of your faerie has made for very nice results. I have keybound Place, and Heel. With a button press you can target your faerie to sit still on a spot - and it will continue to do everything as normal while not moving. This is important as its aoe abilities are centered on itself.

For some fights this doesn't work that well if everyone's moving around a lot or if there is a big area for the fight itself. However on other fights it's been really nice. The story-Garuda fight for example, I was placing my faerie approximantely between 2 of the 4 pillars (not directly center of the 4 pillars - though I did do this toward the end of the fight). Placing her there meant the tank was in range for Whispering Dawn, and she could also still reach everyone with Embrace. But this let *me* move around and hide behind the pillars, etc. She also seems to take a lot less dmg from Garuda's aoe and things, compared to us.

I've also been trying to use this method for other fights, like Dzaemal Darkhold end boss, if the tank is keeping it roughly in that spot near the water (not really much room anyway). That has worked well too. There's still plenty of fights where having her follow me is still better. If you could ask her to stalk someone, as an *additional* possibility, that would be very nice too.

Just thought I'd mention it in case no one was really aware you could do this. It really helps for keeping things like Whispering Dawn and Fey Covenant on the tank, etc. Also, you can practice placement and then telling her to heel while in town or something. It's good to try it out. You can spook ppl out by telling your faerie to stand near them each time they move. ^_^

(I'm sorry for all the replies, the character limit makes it tricky to get everything into one post!)
