Macro for whispering dawn?

**EDIT**

Okay so I got it to work, I'll list the working macro below for anyone who is interested in using it. All credits go to croakstar and his guide, all I did was add a 2.5s wait to make Eos follow again.

**EDIT**

So I'm trying to make a macro to use Rouse, Fey Illumination and Whispering Dawn all at once, one button press. I'm using a controller on ps4 so saving the space is awesome, and if Rouse is ever on cooldown it'll still use Whispering Dawn anyways.

I tried the one found here (I'll type out the macro at the bottom for people who don't want to use the link), and it works great, except it makes the pet stay in place and I forget about it all the time, and end up needing to re-summon Eos in battle, which is quite annoying. I tried adding /pac Heel to the end of it but it doesn't seem to work.

I broke it when trying to remove the /pac Stay, and now it requires multiple pressed to make Eos actually use Whispering Dawn. Is there any way to either make Eos follow me again using that macro, or is there another way to do it where she'll use both Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination with one press?

The Macro:

/macroicon "Whispering Dawn" pet Eos
/ac "rouse"
/pac stay
/pac "Fey Illumination"
/wait
/pac stay
/pac "Whispering Dawn"
/wait 2.5
/pac heel

Remember that if you use another macro or if your fairy sees somebody with low health, Embrace will cancel out the rest of the macro, meaning you might have to spam it a few times for the fairy to be forced to use both skills. That's just what I end up doing xD Great macro though!

You shouldnt bind illumination with dawn, there are many ocasions where you'll want to use illumination alone and saving dawn for something else.
what you want is a simple rouse+dawn, same cd, so they should always be used together.
/micon 'Whispering Dawn"
/ac "Rouse" <pet>
/pac "Whispering Dawn" <me>

Key bind the other 2 eos abilities and use them proprelly.
you can always use illumination(on your keybind) and pop the macro as soon the skill go out.

Like when?

Well i have set the Rouse+dawn whishpering so i can get +regen, i have too fey illumination+succor and fey covenant i have it alone because just use it to specifics moments when i need magic defense....
my macros:

Regen+
/ac "rouse"
/pac "dawn wishpering"
(same cooldown)

Succor+
/pac "fey illumination"
/ac "succor"
(when fey illumination is ready going to cast it... if not just going to cast succor)

and u better have all ur attacs/debufs with <tt> atached, IE:

/ac "virus" <tt>
/ac "virus" <t>

just help a lot to destress targering managment...

Wel I prefer do not use "wait" comands on healers because in high level dungeons you need to move a lot and wait for the chains commands going to be a bad situation. I recomend use a macros that combines a pet action and self actions because at the end there isnt waiting time and more coordinated skils with your pet (if u are a scholar).

When WD is down and you need to pump out some aoe healing, or when you just want a healing boost in general and don't want to tie it to an aoe heal. Also you can pop fey earlier and wait till it has like 5 seconds left to let WD take advantage of it.

That's kind of a recursive argument. You don't use Illumination with WD because it'll be down...?

Sometimes fey+WD is unnecessary because WD will be able to bring people back up just fine without it, so I would rather hold onto fey in case of emergency. If I'm using fey+WD it's because I know for these next 20+ seconds I'm going to need some strong healing and I won't be defenseless for the 40 seconds while WD recharges. For example in T6 during chains / stench If I use fey with WD I will have basically nothing to help me for the next one, because both will still be on CD. However in T7 I chain them together for the archers because it's one of the few(only?) AoE parts of the fight.

As a Scholar, you need to accept that your heals are not as strong as a WHM and we have our pets and their respective abilities to our disposal to assist us in our healing capacity.
As such you need each and every healing boost at your disposal.

My macro's from memory...pardon any errors. :)

Rouse Whispering Dawn:
/micon "rouse"
/ac "rouse" <me>
/pac "whispering dawn" <me>

Obey:
/micon "obey"
/pac "obey" <me>
/pac "embrace" <me>
/pac heel <me>

Embrace/Physick:
/micon "physick"
/ac "physick" <t>
/pac "embrace" <t>

You can throw in <mo> here too if you are on PC.
As far as I know there is no required wait.

Your pet needs to be on heel and obey at all times.
Your Physick and her Embrace needs to be linked and on macro.
Rouse and Whispering Dawn needs to be linked and on macro.
Fey Illumination is on my hotbar on it's own skill and use this when the shit goes down.
Know when to place your pet and when not to place your pet.

Scholars needs to focus on damage prevention and reduction as opposed to damage healing.
It is a small but vital concept that needs to be understood and accepted before you continue as a Scholar.

I am always looking to better my scholar, so any advice or information is gladly accepted.

Wow didn't expect so many replies!

After thinking about it a bit I realize I may actually need to take Fey off the macro. It is amazing, having a one button press ~400 AoE regen, but I just did Titan Ex and found I was very hesitant to use Whispering Dawn at all, trying to save Fey Illumination for the later stomps or situations where say a few people get hit by something.

That said, I may end up making two macros. One with Rouse+Fey+Whispering Dawn, and one just with Rouse+Whispering Dawn. I ALWAYS use Whispering Dawn after Fey Illumination. The whole point of that ability is so that everybody in range takes more healing, I.E. AoE heals. I'd never blow that cooldown so I could single target heal the tank a bit more.

I've been using a macro for Virus for ages, it was the first macro I made so many months ago. The other one I forgot to, but need to do is Ruin II. Most people don't see it as a heal or damage prevention but that blind can go a long ways. Right before a MB, Adlo+Sacred Soil (If you have the Aetherflow stack to spare)+Virus+RuinII. If MB doesn't miss, at least you'll prevent a lot of the damage.

I also didn't bother putting Embrace on a macro with all my abilities. I have Embrace on my hotbar right beside Physick and Adlo on the X button on the gamepad, and I spam the heck out of it even while casting. I suppose it couldn't hurt to macro it anyways, when things get crazy hectic sometimes I'll forget to spam it while I'm switching targets, trying to heal everyone up after some big mistake. Then again though, there's something to be said for letting Eos heal up one low target while you heal up another, rather than super focusing on one.

@Lyrio

It seems this macro is designed so that Eos doesn't cast Embrace at all while the macro is active. I'm not sure how, but apparently it has to do with the /pac stay. Credit goes to Croakstar for figuring that out, because when I tried my own macro Eos would always cast Embrace even if I spammed it.

put fey illumination on your hotbar, use macro for rouse + wd, put embrace on all healing skills, u can make a hot bar with no macros so if u use a macro, change to that hot bar, thats what i do also i have fey covenant macroed with succor, remember to use this before any magic attack aoe

I don't see why you wouldn't want Fey Illumination tied to Whispering Dawn...if as a SCH you need an AoE heal greater than Succor, the the party should be taking some massive damage (stomps etc.) otherwise your fellow WHM can easily top everyone off without breaking a sweat since Divine Seal has a much better cd and WHM aoe is far superior.

Maybe I could see popping it solely for the WHM's benefit. But otherwise Whispering Dawn heals for peanuts.

You do have a point, it is personal preference to have Fey Illumination on it's own.
Rouse & whispering dawn is the standard and is normally used where the party is about to take a pummeling and used in conjunction with Sacred Soil and Succor.
Fey Illumination is always available to me but is based on the party and whether they need it.

I have embrace on keybind, because I can stay on top of healing the tank and instruct Eos to heal someone else.

True.
Another option is to place Eos nearby a squishy Melee DPS and even tank.
Her heals will automatically generate more frequently. This will free you up a bit.
Be mindful of AOE.
