"Would it not work with using silence without the augment?"

Correct. You HAVE to have Savage Silence equipped in order to perform finishers on enemies stunned by Silence. Without SS, regular Silence will not perform finishers. With SS, you not only get added finisher damage (stealth kills, combat finishers, AND knocked-down finishers), but you also open up enemies to finishers while they're briefly stunned when first affected by Silence.

An EXTREMELY good build is to put on max Narrow Minded (along with Continuity and Constitution) so you get a long-lasting Silence with a shorter range so you're not stunning enemies out of your reach, and then run around stabbing them with a Covert Lethality dagger. Great way to instant-kill any enemy of any rank.

I just tried this today and it works beautifully. At first, like you, I was confused about the wiki's description. But it does need Savage Silence in order to work.
