2.1 Pet Macro - Selene the Divine Fairy of BRD Nerfing!

**Johnist** · 12-04-2013 03:14 AM

With Pet Macros as part of 2.1, you Scholars won't be forced to drag 2 Bards in the party! Cheer everyone as Selene, whom is rarely used for her 'Random' Silencing, can be much more easily controlled and you can use her to Silence on command without 'Micromanging' the pet hotbar!

The Scholar can Silence? Wow, who knew...

Edit: this probably sounds dumb, but I actually didn't know this, neat fact!

**Schmitty** · 12-04-2013 03:15 AM

Is this confirmed?

I would be so happy!

so what ur saying I can probably join coil now since 2 melee dps would be good in T1-T2?

I don't think she would be viable as a silencer even with the 2.1 pet macros. Maybe it's just an issue on SMN, but I've noticed a very noticeable delay between when you've pressed the button of a pet ability and when said ability goes off. That delay is way too big for silencing something when you've only got a second and a half window to do it.

Uhm...except at no point did you ever need two bards. Monks, Bards, Paladins, (soon to be Warriors) - all more effective at it than scholars.

Nevermind that Selene's silence is on a 40s cooldown.

Meaningless revelations are regrettably...still meaningless.

EDIT:

Also, two melee DPS'ers were ALWAYS effective in Coil. You know...considering I've been running in a static like that for months.

or the tanks could silence.

Considering you'll be able to Macro it...? You cannot macros your Pets yet. We'll see how it fully goes in 2.1 but I'm considering this another part of the BRD Nerf to go along with crossclass changes.

Again, it's meaningless. Why would a macro change the timing? All it does is allow you to control stance rotations cleanly with fewer automatic skill triggers. It is still slow and it is still inferior to pretty much half of the jobs in the game.

If you are EVER using Selene for silences as a Scholar, you are doing it wrong. I'm more curious if anyone tested if Selene causes resistance counters - if so, all the more reason to NEVER use silence.

The uses in PvP are far more intriguing.
