    Obey for Eos. Sic for Selene as she only uses erase when a debuff is on someone, ie. Pacify.

    i'll keep Selene on obey then, having her to auto cleanse is a bad idea

    I haven't had any issues with it thus far, but my initial reaction is to use leeches anyway. I feel like if I had her on obey I'd either use it how she is already or wait forever for the perfect moment that may never come.

    Basically I'm testing her on sic in small content and having no major issues, but for raiding obey will probably be better. I assume SE gave her that ability for a reason.

    I think SE handled the Selene change rather devilishly smart.

    Combining the SKS/SPS buffs and giving Selene status removal was a good improvement. But if you give her single-target status removal on "GCD," then there will be quite a few situations where she's spamming erase to clear stun or poison or STR down on everyone instead of just curing (which is what you want). So giving her AoE erase on CD kills two birds with one stone: AoE erase deserves a cooldown timer, and the CD keeps her from spamming it. Win-win.

    As a main SCH, I'm super happy with the changes to Selene. I hardly ever used her before because she was annoying to keep on obey cause remembering buffs every 30 secs = ewwww. Now she's comparable in utility to Eos IMO, ty SE :D

    Ya, if should would only cure ailments that were curable and not try to silence abilities that couldn't be silenced...

    Gambits for pets SE prz.

    The reason is simple imo Carress is 60 sec CD (not really long but w/e)


    It's all on luck in a sense, if she waste her CD on pacify, and then you get an AOE debuff, it's a time waste for the SCH to leaches and the other healer to help.

    So I prefer saving that CD for AOE debuff so healers can keep healing/DPS at the same time

    But It's all preferences i guess

    Am I loosing my mind or does emergency tactics stack with succor?

    Yes, that's what makes it good. It's unlikely you'd use it with aldo.

    I actually use it with aldo all the time, it's a nice heal when the tank getting beat up my multiple mobs, but group not taking any AoE damage.

    Does it seem like selene is entirely useless to anyone else?

    How so? Fey Wind is just both old Feys in one, and AoE esuna is nice for your WAR. 2 Selene when it happens is also really good because they are smart enough to 100% uptime Wind together.

    At least at my item level it just feels like Ill need the healing for Eos.

    Rouse Whispering Dawn 2guud when it basically gives me 20 seconds of dps uptime staight off.

    I usually use Eos for anything in which I have to frequently choose between healing and DPS. So I primarily use Selene for open world trash.

    I have used Selene for everything this patch so far. The AoE leech is proving to be more convenient than originally anticipated.

    Is SS really better than DET just for Bio 1 & 2?

    I actually enjoy the changes to Selene. It proved useful in Ravana Extreme when learning it and multiple people getting the slow debuff. Instead of having the poor WHM fall behind on heals because of the cleanse and dps dropping due to cleanses coming too late, you can simply have Selene aoe leeches 3+ debuffs off in one go. I like both pets and believe they have equal usage in an encounter still, Selene being much more useful than before.
