Scholar macros: A plain and simple macro post (yes it involves physick)

First i wanted to put this out there: Adloquium uses far to much MP to be spammed, thus yes i am including the physick macro in this set as one should never rely on a heal which uses a large chunk of MP.

[Eos Summoning]
/macroicon "Summon"
/ac Swiftcast
/wait 1
/ac Summon

[Selene Summoning]
/macroicon "Summon II"
/ac Swiftcast
/wait 1
/ac "Summon II"

[Physic Macro]
/macroicon "Physick"
/ac "Physick"
/pac "Embrace"

[Adloquium Macro]
/macroicon "Adloquium"
/ac "Adloquium"
/pac "Embrace"

[Succor Macro] (Heavy AoE healing
/macroicon "Succor"
/ac "Succor"
/pac "Whispering Dawn"

[Targetted Sacred Soil Macro]
/macroicon "Sacred Soil"
/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>

[Targetted Shadowflare Macro]
/macroicon "Shadow Flare"
/ac "Shadow Flare" <t>

[Resurrection Macro]
/macroicon "Resurrection"
/ac Swiftcast
/wait 1
/ac Resurrection

These are just macros for people to use on scholar, realistically it is up to you to experiment and see what fits and what doesn't fit your playstyle. When it comes to any job, i will always say this. Never blindly listen to streamers or youtubers, you pick what you want to do. Trying to use something that doesnt work for you? may end up hindering you in the long run.

I use somewhat different ones:

[Sacred Soil Macro, Targeted if a target exists, otherwise on me]
/merror off
/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>
/ac "Sacred Soil" <me>
/macroicon "Sacred Soil"

[Rousing Dawn]
/macroicon "Whispering Dawn" pet Eos
/ac "Rouse"
/pac "Whispering Dawn"

[Shadow Flare]
/merror off
/ac "Shadow Flare" <t>
/ac "Shadow Flare"
/macroicon "Shadow Flare"

[Summon Selene + set to Obey + copy crossbar 5 to crossbar 1]
Because crossbar 5 is my "Selene" bar
/merror off
/micon "Summon II"
/pac "Obey" <me>
/ac "Summon II" <wait.3>
/crosshotbar copy Scholar 5 Scholar 1 <wait.1>
/pac "Obey" <me>


[Use Selene Fey Wind if she was already summoned + Summon Eos+ set to Obey + copy crossbar 6 to crossbar 1]
Because crossbar 6 is my "Eos" bar
/merror off
/micon Summon
/pac "Fey Wind" <me>
/pac "Obey" <me>
/ac Summon <wait.3>
/crosshotbar copy Scholar 6 Scholar 1 <wait.1>
/pac "Obey" <me>


Except for rousing dawn (and a rez macro I didn't list), all of my macros are just to make controller play smoother. I don't think I'd use them if I were on mouse/keyboard (but I also wouldn't want to play SCH on mouse/keyboard :P).

A quick note for anyone attempting to use these. The recast time for a Fairy to use embrace is longer than the recast time for Scholar Specific spells so your actions wont line up perfectly but the fairy will execute your commands as soon she is able. She has a priority list that doesn't always work in your favor. Personally I prefer to let embrace auto target the weakest player because this has saved a few DPS with lazy footwork from death before. It's nice to have that back up heal when you're focusing on the tank. Macros also slow down your actions so if you are trying to maximise don't macro things you use repeatedly back to back like Broil. You will lag slightly between cast but this is fine in casual play.

This. While I'm one of those people who macro'd Embrace to Physick, it's something you need to get used to and can often confuse the poor AI of whatever faerie you're using. I've simply gotten used to it and found no issues in casual play and even some mid-tier content, but most Savage raiders I know of like to also keep a non-macro'd version on their bar at the same time.
