Selene skills

[Clouse_Cleyra]

So im just curious how much of u find selene skills actually effective.
The only one it seems to be somehow ok is the 3% faster attacks. But it is worth it? In a 10 minutes raid if i have it all the time i can its only a 9 seconds more dps...
If that worth the 20% magic res heal buff and regen of eos?

[ManaEterna]

To be fair I had quite a few wipes at near 0% where the 3% is actually something that either save you or kill you.

I have also found that Fey Caress is invaluable for those time when someone miss a mechanic and there is a raid wide Stun that can simply be removed with 1 skill.

The silence skill is not very useful, but if you manage to force selene to obey you you can look good ^ ^

Overall, it is as it always was, eos if you need the extra healing, selene for all the other situation.

At least in my opinion

[Blackheart]

it's very situational, i tend to use selene for fights that aren't very AoE heavy and i'm confident i can heal through them no problem giving the dps a nice little buff, as where Eos i will have out if the fights/bosses are heavy in AoE and i need alittle extra heals to keep everyone safe.

I use Eos for 4 mans and Selene for 8 mans and soloing. With Selene on sic she'll keep that sweet speed buff up, and usually will dispel any nasty debuffs about as fast as you can, so she's best left to her own devices. I find most of the time my heals are sufficient for any content and only use Eos for the party regen when I want to be lazy/dps more, or if I know the tank is pulling huge.

The 3% can help with a few DPS openers - or make them slightly easier to pull off depending on mechanics and interrupts.

3% haste is generally better than nothing at all, and as ruskie mentioned it can help with openeres if, especially if you're lagging or low on SS. Also Fey Carress at worst case can still be used to cleanse of Pacification, Poison, etc. off a single person and you'll save a GCD on it.
I wouldn't use Eos unless your healing partner in 8man asks you to (or solo healing it), but if you prefer to use her on any content at least use her on Obey. Can't stand seeing Whispering Dawn > Fey Covenant > Fey Illumination going off the first second of a fight (and in an order that makes no sense).

That reminds me of something I needed to test. I had Eos out for something (I think a fight was going sideways for some reason or another and I needed the extra healing power) and had forgotten to switch her to Obey before the pull, but she used Fae Illumination before Whispering Dawn. I was in shock.

In full parties depends on who my co healer is. In things like void arks third boss I would typically place selene behind the boss so she can fey wind the dps. While I stand off to one side and other healer takes the other.

Allows me to remove poisons if the dps are slow to move even if they're out of my range selene can usually get them. Also good in there for the first boss if ppl are slow and get electrocuted.

The only skill that's not much cop I think is silence.

My only issue is I witch pets remembered settings. Nearly always watch my fairys pop all her abilities in my first duty of the day cos she defaults to sic when you log in

Wait.... does Selene use Fey Caress only when people get a debuff if she's on Sic? O_o

You can macro your summon to avoid that, I think the command is /pac obey right after the summon, I'll check back when I'll log.
