I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't think Selene is quite as useless as people make her out to be. Silent Dusk definitely needs to be replaced with something useful but there's a certain level of histrionics I see (not so much on the forums, but in conversations I have in game) that make it seem like if you have Selene out you're not gonna clear content. Which is not true lol. It just works out well for me that Selene isn't that garbage and unless I need to save the cleanse for some specific thing, I can more or less just leave her on Obey and focus on what I myself am doing.
It's a fair statement to bring out Selene when so little healing is needed. At this point, it can be handled with your oGCDs and good aetherflow management. I do this too, and I'm quite sure other SCHs do as well. My issue wasn't with which fairy you choose to use, it's with being complacent in content you're running with other people. Even when using Selene, it is better to have her on Obey. She's just the less detrimental of the two leaving her on Sic. SCHs who leave their fairies on Sic is actually more indicative of a dislike towards fairy micromanagement than being lazy. You're still adding damage while taking care of healing, so I don't think you're lazy. All I am saying is that it is common courtesy to do more when you're capable of it.
