Scholar Healing: a quick and easy guide.

Actually, adding to the idiocy that is the fairy, its maximum cast range for Embrace is actually 30 yalms, as far as Cure/Physick/Succor, you can see this by placing your fairy and walking back a distance and telling it to heal you, its just that the fairy ignores anything outside of the range of its buff spells, which is 15 yalms. It seems the AI for Eos is something like "In Combat? Use M. Defence buff + Healing buff" and "Target within 15 yalms below 75% health? Use Embrace and AoE regen". It would be nice if we could customize how it reacts, ala the gambit system from FF12.

Placing your fairy is the best idea because your fairy does not have the same max range as you do, so if you are at max range from the tank the fairy will not heal them. Second your fairy can't heal when it moves, just like you can't so if you need to run away because of a mechanic your fairy isn't healing in that time. So finding a good spot to place it can be really helpful on certain fights.

If you have to run away, during that time you should manual embrace your tank/heal target, the fairy would move into range to heal that target, and as long as you keep spamming embrace it would cause no issue. I let it heel after myself and manual cast embrace when needed.

Currently there are 3 classes with battle rez in game: WHM, SCH and SMN, and usually if there is a SMN present no healer should go resurrecting people. You also dont need a macro for mana leech: just press tab once to acquire the boss as target, cast leech, then press T to switch to its target - which is 99.99% time is the tank. That habit will be useful for you during FATE grind where its impossible to click on a tank out of your party.

@someone asking why not cure over physik: they are the same spell, given as base spells to both healing classes so that their jobs wont waste a precious cross-skill slot for such a basic heal.

Don't spam Succor unless your tank is getting demolished. Precast Succor II when you know the team will take guaranteed damage. I.E. After titan jumps or when that worm in CC does the dust storm.

There is no "Succor II." Stop trying to confuse us. :P

Sorry, yes, I am not 50 yet. I was trying to make a guide to help lower level people.

The fact that you say, you don't need a macro for Energy Drain and it's better to press tab, Energy Drain, t vs. press one button tells me a lot though.

Uhh, well it shouldn't because I do the same thing and I'm a bit of a go-to man for speed run - no wipe AK runs.

I don't micromanage my fairy and I don't use macros. I don't have THM speed cast, because frankly - in a 8 man your summoner should be battle rezzing not you. It's a MASSIVE drain on mana and mana is everything in late game raids. In a 4 man, your DPS should not suck so much that they get hit by one of the easily dodgeable one hits.

Your attitude is a bit odd considering you have no actual experience on anything where a healer actually matters a lot.

If you're immediately burning all three energy drains instead of saving them for MP, damage (Especially on adds), Lustrate, or Sacred Soil, you fail as a SCH.
The fact that you say you should use Succor II or macro an ability like Energy Drain tells us all a lot. Finish learning and leveling the job, then try making a guide.

I actually thought the OP's comment about setting up the Macros for energy drain, bio, and miasma were pretty good ideas. Granted, I'm only level 36...

I like to use the mouseover macros for healing, but there's some boss fights where I like micromanage my fairy. Since so far I don't believe I can set up mouseover macros for Eos (correct me if I'm wrong, please), it would actually be rather useful for me to set up those macros.

So thank you, OP :-)

I see nothing whatsoever wrong with having a macro for offensive spells. I have one for Miasma, Bio, and Bio II with <tt > so I don't have to take my target off the tank, the same for Energy Drain. It doesn't save much time, but every little bit helps.

I found that if there's member new to the dungeon or doesnt quite sure what they are doing, I gonna have MP issue if I dont push my fairy to heal because of the low heal rate nature...

Don't forget you have Rouse, it makes your Fairy healing much more potent and she will be able to ignore status effects about 20% of the time if you are diligent about using the ability whenever it comes off cooldown.

For dungeons having a tank pause for adloquium+eye for an eye on big trash pulls will give you enough breathing room to throw on your dots->bane spread them to targets.
