Fey Wind Needs a Buff

[Metsonm]

Sounds like the issue is that pet-swapping isn't efficient, rather than Fey Wind isn't strong enough. Fey Wind is a decent enough buff in itself, but Selene has nothing else. The silence is awkward to use, and worthless in a load of content, a problem the cleanse also has. What they should be looking at instead is giving us a reason to use Selene over Eos.

Pretty much this. If they want selene to be the buff fairy then they need to get rid of the silence. The game isn't coded well enough for it to work reliably, and most bosses can't be silenced.

It's really not Fey Wind, but rather Selene choice as a whole that should be re-evaluated.

All the good Scholars start end-game fights with Selene, press Fey Wind, and re-summon Eos before the countdown is over. Don't need Fey Illumination cool down at the beginning, so trade it for Fey Wind.

It worked fine in Midas Savage. A6S and A8S had mandatory boss silences.

Wasn't that generally either the BRD or MCH's job back then though? It seemed to be a waste since I remember silencing A6S a lot.

Though in regards to Fey Wind, I think Selene needs a rework. She's way overdue for it considering Eos has been the only fairy anyone uses just because she provides more heals. Selene provides...an AoE Esuna, Silence, and a Haste.

2 of the most useless things in current content and one of them being very, very niche.

If anything, I think Selene ought to be built like this:

Selene
- Embrace
- Fey Wind
- Fey Prayer: Heals for 250 potency and removes a single status effect to allies within range. 60s CD. Upgraded from Fey Caress via trait.
- Dusk's Decree: Inflicts Silence and reduces the target's damage dealt by 5% for 10s. 60s CD. Upgraded from Silent Dusk via trait.

These would at least be some improvement for 5.0, I'd imagine, given how Silent Dusk has aged badly.
