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

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.

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

She will use it on *any* debuff, but she will only use it when a debuff is there.

She will use it on *any* debuff, but she will only use it when a debuff is there.

Main issue is that she will use it even if the debuff can't be remove by Esuna/Leeches aka 95% of debuff in raid content.
Would be glad if they corrected that, this way, I could keep it for the WAR's pacification.

If your tank is a warrior, she likes to blow it on the post-berserk pacification.

I find fairy swapping to be the most efficient thing to do when possible. For 4 man I generally use Eos on trash mobs since her buffed heals and mitigation allow me to contribute more AoE dps than if relying on selene's speed buff for the 30 sec the mobs are even alive for. But when fighting the bosses I'll swap to selene since the speed buff over a longer duration is more meaningful and damage to tank isn't as heavy as the large mob pulls.

8 mans I generally find parts in fights during progression where I can keep selene out but swap later on to eos when healing gets intensive (and vice versa).

My main issue with the fairies overall is that their utilities aren't really balanced with each other. All of Eos' abilities are very effective for healing raid damage but selene's tools are a lot more limited in application. With the silence being almost completely forgotten and the AoE leeches being handy but VERY situational, Selene's dps support tools don't weight as equally in my mind as Eos' healing support being offered. IMO i'd prefer if selene's silence were replaced with a different raid offensive utility to better balance against how much Eos has to offer.

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