Need help macroing Scholar pet

I know next to nothing about macros in this game but I'm more then willing to learn...

I want to macro embrace & leeches together maybe succor & whispering dawn .. & yes I have yet to learn leeches yet but I will be tomorrow.

/pac = pet action
/ac = action
/macroicon = macro icon = displays the icon of the spell specified (It will show as leeches instead of a blank macro icon)
<t> uses an ability onto target
<me> uses an ability onto yourself

These are the basic commands you'll need for a basic SCH macro setup.
Try working the rest out. :)

To combine embrace & Leeches:
/macroicon Leeches
/ac Leeches <t>
/pac Embrace <t>

Not to forget <tt> which casts on the target of your target :)

I wouldn't put too many things in macros because this limits your choices and reaction time when reacting to different situations.

The only macros I use are:
Physic+Embrace - standard healing
Adloquium+Embrace - standard healing
Rouse+Fey Illumination+Whispering Dawn+Succor - AoE healing and regen, great for stuff like Titan stomps
Summon+Obey+Heel - required to be able to command your fairy
Lustrate+Aetherflow - "no panic" macro

This way I don't have to place EOS anywhere but can keep moving. If I start casting a heal but have to move to evade AoE, EOS will cast embrace before following me, so it helps alot in these situations.
As long as you stand still EOS will heal other party members as usual.
The Lustrate macro is also good, should you forget to use Aetherflow in the heat of battle. If Lustrate can't be casted it will use Aetherflow. So you just have to press it twice to get a Lustrate off.

Sth I did was to set

my heals to <mo>then <t>
pets heals to <t>

and did not Combine any of those

That way I can spam heals on one target with the option to cast my heals on a mouseover target.
For lazyness I macroed Obey and Heel for one button serves all.
The only macro in which I combined two spells are the fairys cd´s since I allways want them togther. Healbuff first for those rare cases I only want that. Doubletapping for both.

sweet thx everyone I'll give it a go in a few mins. I'm a ps3 user so mouse over macro seems useless for me unless I change my settings to keyboard & mouse which I have no clue how lol tho it would alot of time since I have to unplug my keyboard or headset to charge my controller which is annoying... I'll ask about that in another thread don't want to derail this one

<tt> is broke... If your out of range, or out of line of sight... It casts on yourself instead, and does not warn you that your not casting on your intended target. Very frustrating avoid... Put DPS skills on <TT> instead

You can also do the petheal on <f> While you heal <t> or vice versa, for fights where you don't have to focus a boss.
This way you can heal 2 different targets at same time!

I don't use the physic + embrace one because part of the use of the fairy is for her to spot heal for me, and find that raid healing gets tougher when a scholar does that... if you need to add extra embrace to your physic due to larger damage just have embrace as a separate button and hit it as you cast physic.

Here are some useful macros I use: (Found from this forums, if I find the thread again I'll link it so credit is given)

- Fairy Regeneration

Code:

---

/ac Rouse <me>
/pac "Fey Illumination" <me>
/wait 2
/pac "Whispering Dawn" <me>

---

- Fairy Shield

Code:

---

/ac Adloquium <t>
/pac Embrace <t>

---

- Sacred Fairy Soil

Code:

---

/ac Sacred Soil <me>
/pac Fey Covenant <me>

---

- Silence

Code:

---

/pac Silent Dusk <tt>
/pac Silent Dusk <t>

---

Ones that work well for both Scholar and Summoner:

Code:

---

/macroicon "Energy Drain"
/ac "Energy Drain" <t>
/ac "Energy Drain" <tt>

---

Code:

---

/macroicon "Eye for an Eye"
/ac "Eye for an Eye" <t>
/ac "Eye for an Eye" <tt>

---

Code:

---

/macroicon "Virus"
/ac "Virus" <t>
/ac "Virus" <tt>

---

I've been having some issues with this macro working for Eos, but not Selene

/ac Adloquium <t>
/pac Embrace <t>

I have them both on Obey, but for some reason when I use the macros with Selene out it tells me that my current pet cannot use the action. Is this a bug or something?

I haven't really used selene much since the patch, I just tested the macro with selene and it seems to be working for me... but it may be that you need to specify which pet's embrace you're using. Have you just dragged out selene's embrace to your bar and make sure you can use her embrace, you may not actually have her on obey (we all get a little out of it sometimes you may just not have set it)
or try:

Code:

---

/macroicon "Adloquium"
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <t> pet "Eos"
/pac "Embrace" <t> pet "Selene"

PS3-only issue from my understanding.

Thank you, I guess that explains why I'm having the problem.

Yeah, I sent in a bug report a few weeks ago about it:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...race-macro-bug.

Hopefully we'll see a fix come soon

Yes I did the same as well. ^_^

I use the triangle to indicate when EOS is controlled & healing. When it comes off it means EOS needs another command. I mainly just use two macros, one for the MT and the other for OT. I always place the MT and OT as the 2nd & 3rd party members. This third one is a lot more flexible but it marks the target.

This one:
/mk Circle <t>
/pac Embrace <circle>
/wait 4
/pac Embrace <circle>
/wait 4
/pac Embrace <circle>
/wait 4
/pac Embrace <circle>
/wait 4
/pac Embrace <circle>
/wait 4
/pac Embrace <circle>
/wait 3
/mk off <circle>

like she said, this are the best macros, i have embrace in all healing skills

Sch so far has been an interesting change of pace from whm, but while I think WHM will still be my preferred healer, I don't like being a slouch at any of my jobs. These macros helped fix a lot of the things that bugged me most about healing on sch!

Using this one as an example, when I do this I get the error message in my log that <whichever line> didn't work.

Is there a way to disable seeing those errors that would still let me see if my tell is blocked by duty or things like that?

Quite the long macro, 23 Sec long, if you use another macro inbetween it cancels

Those are the only 2 I use, so for me it's not an issue. I would have liked a macro with Rouse and Aetherflow though.

But in this way Eos is like a regen for the tanks. Having her spam Embrace seemed the most effective, for the way I like to play on scholar, without controlling her manually. Also, I found out it's possible to use sound effects <se.4> in echo, if anyone else didn't know.
