Fey Wind Needs a Buff

[Thatusernameistaken]

Ya devotion is now 2 percent damage/mitigation with a 5 percent healing potency still unchanged.

Of course another thing we need to remember, SCH is current healer king atm. Great ogcd heals, the fairy (Eos in particular), chain strat, highest dps of the healers etc. So if we are to buff fey wind to make Selene a choice, then something has to happen to one those that I mentioned and that would probably aggravate a lot of people.

That's not to say I don't disagree. However, buffing Fey Wind is probably a low priority for them given how widely play SCH is and its strengths.

I'm actually fine with SCH's self-kit being nerfed a bit so they can buff the fairies again. SCH is indeed in a very good spot atm, but that's not a reason for a large part of Selene's kit to be useless/almost useless. I just want us to have two compelling fairy choices

Swapping fairies to apply both Fey Wind and Whispering Dawn is a technique I personally use, but it is a seldom one. Basically, it isn't part of my rotation and something I do when I 'feel' it will benefit the party. Swapping/Summoning comes with a considerable DPS loss for the SCH, so the most optimal time to swap is between phases/trash pulls, or anytime there is nothing targetable on the battlefield.

Fey Wind itself does not need a buff. Increasing the rate at which high damage skills are dished out greatly turns the tide of battle, so any buff to Fey Wind would be responded in kind with the mobs we face. However, what I have been screaming for is for fairy abilities to no longer share cooldowns, especially when something like Silent Dusk can take away your Whispering Dawn.

I think that Fey Wind doesn't need a buff but should be changed to something else that doesn't make the co-healer work more only because the SCH prefers to use Selene instead of Eos.

Maybe this is bad luck on my side, but every time I get a SCH that uses Selene as co-healer (and I'm talking about learning parties or casual parties where a lot of people are new or get hit a lot, not perfect farm parties where everyone knows exactly when to do what - I get that you can use Selene for those), he still heals as if he has Eos out and I have to heal more instead.
I won't mention that WHEN they have Eos out they use her on sic so that all her abilities go to waste anyway though and they could also have used Selene...

So maybe they should give Selene some kind of healing ability as well instead of Fey Wind. And make it so that you can use Eos only on obey. Please.

Fey Wind can also make some classes annoyed as hell. Boosting my gdc when im mch is just aweful.

It's Eos being too powerful, maybe switching Whispering Dawn with Fey Wind is a good idea. So making Eos a pure buff pet and Selena a function pet with silence, HOT, and debuff remove pet.

I wouldn't argue that EoS is too OP (I dont think we have a trait that makes our faeries stronger) because at the earlier levels the difference isnt truly as noticeable.

At this point Selene is just super dated, which is sad because shes the main one shown in the Scholar stories.

Scholar is not ok™

[QUOTE=HyperiusUltima;4803015]Wasn't that generally either the BRD or MCH's job back then though? It seemed to be a waste since I remember silencing A6S a lot.

Yes, sometimes my MCH would say they accidentally used their silence before the mechanic. But then if you pugged or helped a group without an aiming job you could still do it.

Fairies get about 75% of your equipped stats. Gear ladder is noticeable, and that is how some Scholars soloed current dungeons in the day.

I may not be an expert but as a sch main I've always felt fey wind was okay. We've got chain stratagem anyway so wouldn't buffing fey wind kind make things a little op?

[Sunako]

I think selene is fine. there is some speed kills that show Selene can bring 400 - 500 raid dps on its own. Eos can heal aoe without using globals.

Healing is all about trading heals for dps and vice versa. It is same for other abilities too. If you use aetherflows for energy drain then you have less lustrate/indom etc. If you have to cast succor/adlo, you have less broils etc. Every fight is different and have different priorities.
