    The skill is fine. It might be niche, but it works very well when so called for as a backup silence. I used to use it in BCoB and especially SCoB in T9 when people fucked up the blue golem's silencing and thus blowing Spirits Within/Blunt Arrow as a muscle memory kind of thing. So many weekly farm runs saved in 2.2 with vigilant Silent Dusk use.

    Would I mind it if they added new fairy skills or possibly enhanced Silent Dusk in some way? Not really. But at the same time, I wouldn't like returning to Fey Glow/Fey Light-esque shuffling anymore. Good times for sure, but at present you don't need to think of stuff like "whose buff shall I use on the pull?" (yes I know, Light is the correct answer), you can run dual-Selene efficiently if need be (a niche thing for now), and also - you lose a little less fairy HPS now from having breaks via using a fairy skill less often. Fairy-swapping also benefits from this more than it did in previous patches, as now you only use up one fairy skill slot pre-swapping to Eos, and you also make full use of the buff at once.

    All good points though I wouldn't be concerned as much with a delayed embrace (especially since it hasn't scaled well with the hp bloat in 3.0 anyway) from the fairy for rotating another pet skill over the course of a fight considering that having Selene out implies you are confident the current phases of a fight are manageable to heal/dps without much assistance from the fairy especially since one would be more so concerned on how much support to push the fight you are providing over countering incoming raid-wide damage. And speaking of dual-Selene I wouldn't mind seeing another sch beside me and discussing who wants to start on which buff prepull for a sec if going with my original idea. Again just my personal preference of managing Selene with offensive support to match how much defensive/healing support Eos provides.
