I dont reccomend blowing all thoses cool downs at once, you might regret it when you really need it.

I Pair (Fey Illumination with Succor) & (Rouse with Whipering Dawn) separately and only use Whispering Dawn+Rouse combo when I need the extra healing.

Also, you dont need to put a wait command within those MACROs. Rouse is Instant and will hit before Eos Start Whispering Dawn & Fey Illumination will finish befoer your succor cast. When your CD are not up Your hurting yourself with a 2 sec delay everytime you use those macro for no reason.

my macro for those 2 looks like this.

Whispering Dawn
/micon Rouse
/ac Rouse <pet>
/pac "Whispering Dawn"

Succor
/micon Succor
/pac "Fey Illumination"
/ac Succor <me>

I have Embrace macro'd separately to all my other heals. I like the freedom to mouse over and heal a secondary target with it.
I do have a Physick+Embrace for heavy healing phases as well.

As stated above, a Rouse+WD macro is also great to have on the bar.

having embrace on its own key works very well to me, i actually have 2 macros for embrace, one to heal focus target and other to heal on mouse over. the focus target one allows me to focus healing the 2 tanks by myself to some extent when i don thrust the other healer *usually white mages, too shy to actually heal because they fear run out of mp* *this on coil btw*. when i really need both heals i just mouse over the name and press both physic <mo> and embrace to heal him, but then, chances are his hp will be already very low, and that would trigger the fairy heal by itself, if it is a sudden huge damage like mountain buster, better to just use lustrate....

for fairies i like having rouse and dawn in separate keys.. that just me though... *i usually have problems with macros that use multiple skills being cut in the middle and not activating the follow up skill... making me having to press the same key again multiple times till it goes off.... meaning i might as well have it on separete keys and knowing what i actiavted easier since it will ahve 2 different icons*

i have all my fairy's keybinds separately on their own.
feels like i have more control over it and can pick my own timing.
with macros if you end up having to move a lot (like post heart in titan ex) your macros get all messed up so I find it a fool proof way to guarantee that her skills will go through.
it might be a problem if you're not a pc user though

Great thread!
After playing with Scholar for the last 5 or so levels, I completely fell in love with the versatility of the Scholar Job!

I have obey/heel/embrace on < me > to get her on a leash and full control.
I have Physik and Embrace on macro. Allows for extra healing without any enimity. It's also a safe bet when needed.
I have not experimented with DPs, working on becoming an effective healer first, but will be using < tt > as part of the macro, target of target.
This will avoid having to switch off your current heal focus target (tank).

I've got Eos's Embrace on my hotbar by itself, and it's not macroed with any of my heals. I tried having Embrace + Physick macroed together, but I found it more useful for me to just use Embrace separately. I do have Rouse + Whispering Dawn macroed together; they're on the same cooldown and are just perfect to use at the same time. I often use Fey Illumination before a R + WD, but that's on its own key.

I use Selene, on sic (she manages her cds just fine), for pretty much everthing. I find Eos is pretty situational.

Times I use Eos:
- Phase 3 of T5. Fey Illumination + Rouse + Whispering Dawn is a huge help with the first set of snakes. And Fey Covenant is great to mitigate some damage from Aetherial Profusion.
- When in CT with a WHM who won't AoE heal (happens a lot actually).
- When duo-SCHing anything. Selene's buff don't stack, so one of you might as well use Eos. Again, Fey Illumination + Rouse + Whispering Dawn is awesome during stomps on Titan EX when there's no WHM.
