    I personally prefer Eos. I tend to run Cleric Stance when doing dungeons like AK or WP, so having Eos to heal the tank while I'm spreading my DOTs is my preferred method. I feel like I can't justify Selene's buffs over the additional DPS. Her silence is nice though.

    hehe, your play style is just like mine, I'd be using Eos if I wasn't able to do stuff like:

    Like I pointed out, Selene's buffs are a DPS increase. What Eos buff is allowing you to Cleric Stance that Selene doesn't have? over 20 seconds, Eos will put out 3000~ more healing than Selene with WD and Fey Illumination. Over the next 40 seconds, their healing is identical. And you'll dot the mob faster with Selene than with Eos...

    You really are on a mission to tell people how to play aren't you? hehe. Why not make a video with a premade and compare times? 1 with Selene and 1 with Eos. Sometimes it's best to show people instead of telling them ^^

    Honestly, after some soul searching I'm agreeing with Rainsford. I used to preach Eos Eos Eos, but that was mostly complacency. She's not that necessary, especially with how I was using her (save cooldowns for WD, which you also save).

    By contrast, I couldn't tell you that I feel the difference with Selene, but hell it's better than nothing and (in the case of AK) her manual silence (assuming you have her on Obey) seems surprisingly responsive. I just need more practice with keeping Light/Glow uptime going.

    At this point, I only plan on using Eos if I need her for temporary supertanking (Demon Wall adds, random tank-less moments, Garuda sisters to an extent). Otherwise it's all Selene. However I would definitely invite new SCHs to try both (played well; not lazy "no place, no Steady/Obey/whatever" style) and make decisions for themselves, as I did.

    Selene all the way because relyin on a fairy buff to do great heals is somehow silly / bad.

    Your paladin can make you heal better, your monk can make you heal better and anyway in both cases you still have both supervirus for your party and eye for an eye for your tank in order to calm things down.

    Except on the Succor case I don't truelly feel that the healing boost of Eos is worth the usage and it's once per 2 minutes ... but in Coils, for Turn 1 - 2 - 4 depending of your tactics, any dps boost is more than appreciated when its done in an appropriated way.

    Let people in the raid buff you. Havin to chain use steady to save 1 cooldown that will be up for 20 secs every 2 minutes isn't worth the hassle imho

    I think they are both great in their own ways. It just breaks down on how you like to play the game and what you're comfortable with. Some people prefer Selene others Eos, & some even like using both depending on what's going on (∩_∩)! For me I personally love using Eos she always has my back ♥~(‘▽^人).

    Question: Why is it when I use Obey, it ALWAYS says "invalid target" ?? Is there anyway to get them to not do ANYTHING unless I tell them to? And could someone/anyone explain the Place command? Level 35 SCH and I can't get that dang fairy to do anything I really want her to do! /fume lol

    With Obey you have to target an enemy first they won't use anything but healing spells(WD, Embrace) until you tell them yo do something else(you won't break Obey). If you put them on Steady they will only use Embrace until told otherwise(you'll have to put them back on Steady though if you use one of their spells)

    Is there anyway to get her to not use Embrace unless I tell her to? And if I "Place" her, what exactly does that affect?
