Fey Wind Needs a Buff

Fey Wind doesn't need a buff.
Selene just need a slight rework so that she become a real choice over Eos, without buffing Scholar even more.

It definitely needs something. I don't mind if SCH takes a hit somewhere else to make up for it, but an ability with an effect as small as Fey Wind either needs to be buffed or removed from the game, IMO. Remember how pathetic Devotion was before it was buffed? Fey Wind is in a similar boat the way I see it. It just feels like a really lame ability that you cast on cd for a negligible damage increase. I just wish it felt more powerful to cast.

Well that's part of the problem, need to be lining it up with raid buffs. But I can't see anything helping all that much if you're recasting fairies 5 or 6 times each pull. Feels like a waste well before any potency is calculated. Most bang for your buck is on pull. Possibly recasting during a transition when all raid buffs will be back up for boss. If you want to maximize Fey Wind it seems like you'd need to have a strong co-healer so you can keep Selene out instead of swapping. Without that it's kind of unfair to make any analogies.

This is my problem with it. It gets the most value either on pull, or during a transition phase like you state later. It is only worth the cast a couple of times during a fight, and even in those situations it's still a negligible buff, and its overall contribution to a pull is almost nothing (less than ~200 DPS added to the total dps of the raid, and that's if you're casting it every 60 seconds for an entire 10 min fight. Casting it on pull and during transition is probably something like ~40 DPS added to the raid's total DPS). For an ability that is supposed to define Selene's role, this is honestly a pathetic contribution. 3% is not a high enough number to matter at all, unless it's an aura that's constantly active.

Devotion's problem wasn't the buff itself actually.
It was because you couldn't exactly choose who you wanted to get the buff since it was the closer player to the pet.
If I remember correctly it was 5% damage/mitigation/healing every 90s, which was not that bad (like dragon sight %).
And since smn also had Contagion/Radiant Shield.

But it's better now indeed, even if it's a small buff (it must be a bit similar to Foe Requiem)
