Please change Selene's Silence Skill, I'm begging you! Or tell me, what I do wrong.

[Loggos]

Hey all,

I'm quite disappointed because Selene is in theory my favourite fairy out of the two because I prefer her support buffs - but one of her skills is practically useless.
It is her second skill that silences the enemy.

Cooldown duration: 40 seconds
Effect duration: 1 Second

I'm very sorry but one second of silence is rather useless, specially with a cooldown this long. A 1:40 ratio doesn't seem justified to me at all.

I am concerned about this as fairies only have four skills so all skills should be useful and take a noticable role when they are cast.
However Selene's Silence - and yes, she has cast it many times when I used her - never achieved anything. I didn't even notice it was applied until seeing that the skill is still on half of its CD.

Some people have said that the skill might be special and is cast when a monster/boss prepares a big attack that is stopped by the Silence skill, but she never did so when I used her. Neither did she save the skill for such an occasion nor did she specifically cast it when this happened.

Since I also like to use her when soloing I cannot really make efficient use of her melee skill boost, so only magic skill boost and heal are left for me.
The silence skill would be a great help though!

Also in parties it's a disadvantage when she lacks one of her skills. It makes her stand back behind Eos and that is really sad.
To me the fairies symbolised different playing/support styles but both being equally useful in their own ways.
De facto I only use Eos in parties now though, as all her skills are useful and complement my healer role. Why use Selene when she has less skills practically and Eos is a bit better?
(I use Selene solo for stubborn reasons and because there no one suffers my whacky playing style.)

Some also said that Selene is useful when you have two scholars with Eos and Selene each, which means, when you have propper support by Eos you can also play Selene, but that still makes her the second fairy in groups and solo (except for stubbornness...).
I liked how both carbies had different roles/places. With the fairies it seems that you should use Eos mainly and Selene is a nice bonus.

That's sad. I like being the main healer and have Selene support the party or myself.

So please, either say what the benefits of this skills are that I don't see or whether I should contact bug support (although some friends playing scholar confirmed that it lasts 1 second for them, too).

If both his not the case, please make both fairies equally useful but for different situations like carbies or the SMN pets. It's sort of lame when SCH out of all pet users has only one (inofficial) main pet which is better placed in almost all situations and the second one only being bonus.
