How Can I Make my Fairy act like it USED to? :-(

[jumpypuppet]

so is there any way to have the fairy not cast ANYTHING? that's what i want.

The development team does, however, understand that not being able to switch to Obey when there are no enemies is inconvenient, and they’ve already begun to look into whether or not they can make adjustments to this. While I can’t make any promises, they would like to make adjustments as best as they can.

I can't believe that you are saying this MAY not be fixed. If Yochi.P is too busy to look into this, just let any of the UX/QA manager play SCH a bit, and I'm sure the feedback is not just "inconvenient".

Pet behavior prior to 2.1 ... was a bug

The current behavior looks more like a bug to me.

Arg, it seems like you either have no control or you have full control and they auto heal. I want them to auto cast buffs and me still be able to control their heal like before. Now if I want to control the heal I have to control the buffs too which I don't really want to do but guess I'm going to have to now.

I guess in the end it's for the best to have manual control over it to use its spells at the best times.

Why is my fairies auto casting on Steady? I want to be able to manual EVERYTHING. Having her casting an auto heal when I need a certain buff is REALLY annoying. Steady = no auto anything right? FIX IT!

So is OBEY the only stance that will allow us to manually exercise Embrace?

Yes. But be warned that even if you have her in steady she will still freakn auto cast as well.

Is the team also looking into a way to macro Selene's Embrace? Right now it only works with Eos and you receive an error message when you try to use it with Selene. Both spells have the same name, so I'm not sure how else to try it.

It seems like Steady should be the non-target version of Obey. All of these stances do have me a bit confused though!

The Selene embrace macro seems to be primarily (possibly exclusively) a ps3 user issue. Haven't heard any info concerning it or a fix yet though

Isn't that what steady does?

And if not - what is the purpose of steady?

/petaction "Embrace" <t>
/petaction "Obey" <tt>
/petaction "Obey" <t>

this macro has solved pretty much all my Eos control problems. Somehow it doesn't work as smoothly when Obey is before Embrace though. As for Selene I always have her set to free mode because she should only really be out imo if healing isn't really an issue so it doesn't really matter that you can't tell her to heal someone.

Macros I also use:

/macroicon "Rouse"
/ac "Rouse" <me>
/petaction "Whispering Dawn" <pet>

/macroicon "Sacred Soil"
/petaction "Fey Covenant" <pet>
/ac "Sacred Soil" <me>

/macroicon Succor
/petaction "Fey Illumination" <pet>
/ac "Succor" <me>

these macros give me total control of Eos without switching back and forth between hotbars and even gives me the ability to set her to a controllable stance. In all this update may have a few hiccups for people that got used to playing SCH before 2.1 but I think in the end it gives you much more control to play SCH to it's full ability much more easily.
