    SCH raise/summon priority

    I was just wondering if it is more worthwhile to use fast cast to summon pet or to raise a dead DPS while in the heat of battle. I haven't done enough endgame to be in this situation just wanted to see this discussed. I would think that summon would come first since it would help you to find time to raise the DPS in between keeping the tanks HP up.

    I have macro for both. The chances of you having to call out a summons n raise at same time or close to one another is slim. If u call out summons by the time you need to raise it will be done with cooldown

    Depends. Is it Ifirt HM where, after the needles, there's no rush to DPS as long as the stuns go off/eruption can be dodged? Get the fairy. Is it the end of a Garuda fight, where losing dps = moving into a new phase, not being able to rez again, etc? Get the DPS up to try to burn it.

    In most cases, the Faerie is a better use for the MP because, in a potential wipe, those free heals can be the difference between you or the tank going down.

    Almost always go with the fairy, you need the healing throughput. If you are missing fast cast, always go with the fairy because you can't afford to not heal for 8s while you cast. If you have fast cast, prioritize res only if you have no other option.

    However, res should be the job of a summoner if you have one. The cost of fast cast and res is huge. Mana management on a healer is of the utmost importance, even on a scholar who has excellent sustain.

    Resummon Eos and then surecast res your dps. Eos' regen and Embrace should help hold the tank up for a few seconds while you cast.

    That's if she feels like healing... better to raise with swift then recast eos/selene

    Do you get the fast-cast as a Scholar? Or do you need to level Thaumaturge to have it available?
