    On Fairy control. It could be better but for the most part I haven't had an issue with the Fairy. Put it on steady and it won't cast its advanced spells, but it'll still cast its main heal spam, which is what you wanna do most of the time. Whenever I need the aoe heal I just use that, I do wish they change it so it doesn't revert to guard but generally if I need to aoe heal, I need all the spells anyway. I guess if you're trying to use the support fairy and only cast the skill/spell speed buffs and not the silence it's kinda annoying but in groups I'd rather have the 30secs HoT, the speed buffs don't do enough(maybe when we get more +speed gear).

    Overall really like the class so far, but wish we would get the dispel(leeches) earlier, as mobs start to do heavy debuffs like paralysis around 30 and you have to wait until 40. Like the last boss of Cutter's Cry was a pain cause he kept shooting paralyze nukes at me and then I'd fail 2-3heals in a row for the next 30secs. I think getting Leeches > AoE Heal > Single target strong heal for example would work out better, while the heal is great you could survive fine spamming Physick instead until 40 and being able to dispel stuff in Brayflox, Qarn or Cutter would be awesome.

    I wouldn't mind the ability to place a pet's skill onto one's own ability bars either for quicker access.

    Just scholar heal'd Titan, and man was it fun. Fairy helps out a lot. It did a good job without being commanded.

    The problem with Scholar, and Summoner and arcanist, is that you cant command your pet while you are casting a spell. They need to fix that.

    And yea, it would be nice to be able to re-arrange the pet bar, and put commands on our hotbars. I think they can be macro'd tho.

    ok i healed Haukke manor (war , smn ,smn , and me as sch yay 3 arcanists ftl) , had some MP problems because the party rushed the dungeon

    1- Pet , already covered
    2- Aetherflow is nice , but forcing a healer to loss target , to cast energy drain ( mp regain x2 )...is frustrating
    3- No cleanse until 40 .......conjs got it at 28....
    4- Passive traits - Enhanced INT?????????? .....why?

    scholars look like a afterthough , and rushed just to give players another reason to roll an Arcanist.....because summoners arent popular enough...they are everywhere.....

    whm win hands down (Regen , free cure procs, good traits , divine seal ,MEDICA II+cure III (aoe healing !)

    the only thing SCH have is the bubble and the buffs from fairy.....other than that.....

    You can hot-key your pet abilities on your own bar you need to do it from the Actions Menu > Pet then drag and drop it onto your hotbar. You can also reassign the hot-keys for the pet bar.

    On another note I just healed brayflox with SCH in Duty Finder group, Adloquium (This spell needs a better name) is a great spell just not too sure on the maths behind it, I consider it to be a heal with equivalent of 600 potency, the great thing about shields is they don't ever over-heal and the duration on the shield from this spell being 30s means you're pretty much guaranteed to utilize it all whether or not it turns out to be more mana efficient than physick I'm not too sure. One thing is for certain SCH really needs to get a status cleanse skill much earlier on.

    Click on Actions & Traits (Then menu where your skills are) then select the Pet section, find the ability you want, click and drag it onto your hotbar. Also if you go into the menu then Keybinds and the Hotbar Tab then find the one Labeled Pet Hotbar, you can just assign keys to the actual pet bar, which may save you hotbar space in the future if you need it.

    A lot of people are saying how you should be able to control the pet while casting but really think about it a little. While casting the master is concentrating on the spell at hand in general magic mythology even brief moment of interruption would cause failure. You can't point at a monster to order an attack if you are focusing power. You can't scream "SIC 'EM" if you are chanting. It is simply how things work. Would I be turned off if they let us control during other action? No. But I sure am ok with out being able to do it from a logical stand point.

    Is it a better idea to focus attributes on INT and just use Cleric Stance?
