Scholar Healing Guide

Well, as promised, I went and did my own testing, and I agree with the fact that they do - in fact - appear to be unaffected by food or medicine. That being said, while my memory is far from perfect, I do stand by my previous comment. I have done this test before, around the 2.1 era, and found Mega-potions of Mind to have a drastic effect on fairy healing potency. So this is definitely something that was changed sometime after that point. Either way, I corroborate your comment; do not bother with mega-potions of mind for you fairy, though food is still definitely worth it if for no other reason than critical rate gains.

This guide isnt exactly dead, I just havent had anything new to add to it. Its for beginners mainly, and I dont have the time to play like I used to, so anything new in it will be when major updates happen or someone gives something worthwhile to put in the guide

May I ask, was it the first boss? Locksmith? And were you standing near it? I did Aurum Vale last night and noticed that my fairy kept getting smacked with his tentacles (ew) - took 80% of her HP or killed her instantly. I had a wtf moment when she died and realised that when I was standing in the middle, really close to the boss trying to add Succor and buffs, myself and Eos kept getting smacked :/ coupled with the yellow goo, she died once and I had to recall her.

The final boss you'd think would be the hardest but ended up being really really easy. So I'm assuming that the aoe stacks don't affect her anymore.

The AoE stacks don't affect the pets anymore. AV was hell for SCH and SMN alike when it did.

The easiest thing to do when facing the locksmith is placing your fairy somewhere fairly safe. That way she can't follow you around and get hit/end up in the yellow goo. Her range is huge, so she will likely be able to reach at least 3/4th if not all of your party.

I find the easiest place to stand near the fruit left of the entrance. That way you will have one dps to your left, one to your right, and the tank somewhere in the middle.

is there a good lvl 60 scholar guide somewhere in the web?

A written guide will only help you so much. Considering most guides contain information you can google easily anywhere. Best kind of guide you can have is one you can talk to, imo.

SCH at 60 is SCH at 50 except you Broil instead of Ruin II (MP depending), abuse Indom's 400 potency ridiculousness when applicable, and find spots where Deployed Adlo will make upcoming mechanics or raid damage significantly easier.

Dissipation and Emergency Tactics are niche, you can do A1-4 without ever needing or using them; the main use of Dissipation is a DPS boost once you know what you're doing, Emergency is for planned or, well, "emergency" mega healing, usually paired with Succor for Succor > Succor like in A3 and A4 savage final phases where there's continuous AoE damage on the raid..

I have one small and probably silly question but- Is there anywhere I can find a list of Macros for Selene?

Here it is:

Don't use macros

Fairy abilities don't queue up like normal abilities, they queue up like macros which is why people find them so unresponsive.

Macroing pet actions such as embrace has absolutely 0 loss associated with it.

However, macroing pet actions to your own gcd actions does.

I use

/pac "silent dusk" <f>
/pac "silent dusk" <tt>
/pac "silent dusk" <t>

How updated would you say this guide is? I'm starting a SCH for raiding in 3.1 and this guide looks great just want to know if i'd be good to follow.

July 2014, and the list doesn't go past level 50. It is good, just wish people would keep them up to date.

Thanks. At the very least I'm sure I can get the basics of the class from this. I at least appreciate that.

What abilities should I have in my hot bars? It just feels like I don't have enough room for everything I need, and I probably have things in there that I don't need. Just a list of everything I should have would be very helpful.

Everything. Not even joking. You'd want to make use of your full kit. This does result in a lot of buttons to press, though.

You can open up more hotbars* and set them up anyway you like through keybinds**. Through this you can set up hotbar 3 with shift+number, ctrl+number or alt+number or any other combination/key you like. Find a particular system that seems logical to you when you set these up. If you happen to have a gaming mouse, this makes it easier to access keys that are normally too far to reach with your left hand while moving (6-0). Some players have set particular move sets on Q and E. You could put sprint on Q, for example. It's an ability every job has and it's easy to reach. Or put all your trigger finger abilities on E: Lustrate, Tetragrammaton, stunning/silencing abilities etc.

* Character configuration > Hotbars
** escape > keybind

Thank you for the guide. The macro section inspired me to work on my mine and loved fiddling with them to tweak to my preference.
My biggest favorite is having:
/micon Adloquium
/pac Embrace <f>
/pac Embrace <t>
/ac Bio II <t>
/ac Adloquium

It has helped saving countless of people from devastation while I cured them as the fairy focussed on the main tank. And combining a DoT in there has helped saving space on the hotbars :)
