Scholar Silencing ADS

I wish my fairy wasn't retarded so I could actually use her to silence.

Given how much Selene needs to be (ab)used for regular healing, it's not healthy having her as part of an official silence rotation, especially since you're not going to be able to stop her from triggering her GCDs.

Although if she's on Guard, she tags a surprising number of them on her own, if she isn't accidentally using it on Repelling Cannons.

1. Have the Warrior be the first tank on ADS.
2. Paladin sits there looking pretty until the first High Voltage. He should silence it, and taunt immediately afterward.
3. Bard gets every even-numbered High Voltage from this point on, and the Warrior taunts as soon as his debuffs drop off.

Do this, and every High Voltage the Paladin needs to silence will occur while he isn't actively tanking, and therefore he should never be animation locked. High Voltage will occur roughly 5 seconds before his stacks of the debuff drop off and it's time to provoke ADS.

Selene is a serviceable backup, but I wouldn't rely on her for this personally.

it's not as hard as people are making it out to be. it's even easier if you heal via mouseover or TT because you can keep the boss targeted. the main thing to account for is that there is a delay on the silence so you have to cast it pretty much immediately after the boss' cast bar starts filling. and yes, you will have to keep selene on steady until you use the silence, and then re-steady at some point before her silence is off cooldown. it's even easier than it used to be now that you can issue pet commands while casting your own skills. lastly as someone else mentioned remember that her silence is on a 40 sec CD so it's best for you to be a backup rather than a main silencer

I had to do this in a pug I was in. Not because it was my job, but because the paladin was so bad that he couldn't understand that Stunning does not interrupt.

It wasn't that difficult, just keep her on Obey so she doesn't automatically use it (which you should be doing anyways when fighting ADS with Selene so you don't put silence on DRs). You'll be able to interrupt every second High Voltage. I find it helps to keep ADS on focus so you can see when it's casting so you can quickly switch to it and hit your interrupt key.

I tried this on my sch. For some reason Obey command does not work. She randomly pulls out her silence even in those stances unfortunately. I am going to try and keep at it maybe its possible. Since my team farms t1-t5 pretty fast weekly its okay to spend sometime on t2 and mess around with different tactics.

Did you ever have to resummon her? If you tell her to Obey then don't tell her to Heel, she's stay put which means she'll disappear if you wander too far. However, telling her to Heel or Placing her won't overwrite the Obey's functionality once it's been set. I've never had her auto-cast anything except Embrace by doing this (Eos will still use Whispering Dawn however).
