SCH and WHM quick questions

[Maluber]

The macro which has been told a lot before, but is worth repeating:

/pac "Embrace" <mo>

Heals a remote person (outside of fairy auto heal range) which saves you from running after them.
Also if you macro a spell that has a cooldown or high mana cost - it is useful to use

/macroicon "Spell Name"

to see cooldown and mana cost (unfortunately does not work for pet actions).

I believe if you put;

/micon "Spell name" pet "Eos"

Then it should show the pet action on your bar. I can't say for sure if it does or not as I'm going by memory but its worth a try if you would prefer having the pet action displayed.

What's that "<mo>" parameter? What's it for?

Mouse over

Yes, as others have mentioned, it's best for both SMN and SCH to keep their pets on obey, mainly so they don't waste abilities you might otherwise need. Even on low end content, having a fairy on obey she will still auto heal, just won't use the other abilities until you tell her.

Best macro you can make is the Physick+Embrace. It's amazing. Just have both your regular Physick and the macro.

Another tip if you decide to play as both SCH and WHM is to set your hotbars up similarly. For example, I have Medica and Succor on the same buttons. Wispering Dawn and Medica II. Divine Seal and Fey Illumination.. Swiftcast.. Protect, Stoneskin, Raise/Resurrection, Eye for an Eye. All on same button as the other.

Yeah already placed similar spells on similar positions, as much as I could.
The macro is nice (without MO since I play with gamepad) but I'm gonna run out of space here D: lol

[Monsalvato]

About the combined Macro, is there a way to have a SINGLE one that works with BOTH pets? Selene and Eos.
As it stands now, I would have to manually change my hotbars every time I swap pets and that's not very practical if I find myself having to swap pets during a dungeon run.

There is...if you want to get -really- complex.

/ac "Spell" <t>
/pac "Eos Spell" <me>
/pac "Selene Spell" <me>

For instance, when I need aoes from Eos, but if I need selene's buffs instead if I'm using Selene...

/ac "Physick" <t>
/pac "Whispering Dawn" <me>
/pac "Fey Light" <me>

With this, even if you change pets, you could still use the macro, but just be aware that the spell on it has changed.

Indeed this works.

Also, not frequently required but a good macro (probably was already said before, still):

/macroicon "Lustrate"
/ac "Lustrate" <me>

Normally you should not be hit that hard, but if you did - it can save in a situation when otherwise you would die.

What comes to sch and smn, I have put my stats into int, cause of high demand on dps checks on contents, and with 30int I still can heal T1-4 easily (smn ilvl88 sch 86).

/micon "Embrace" pet Eos and you have a working macroicon of the embrace skill (referring to a reply over which states that can't be done, on phone so I'm too lazy to quote)

Imo, you should not macro your's and your pet's heals, since then you can't properly heal 2 different targets.

/pac "Embrace" <mo>
/pac "Embrace" <t>

Makes healing party membera easier while having to heal the tank, (and you don't need to mouseover if you cba)

I have rouse, fey convient and WD on seperate hotkeys, but thats just how I play, if you want to macro, only put rouse and WD together imo.
Sorry for typos and such for now,,will edit once I get on my PC

I hate to argue, but since this is referred to me - i really did not say that over, but the opposite.

[omgitslos]

1. Yes, all healing.

2. I just always have them in Obey, considering they do things at the WORST possible time. I just have embrace macro'd into Adlo and Physick on a mouseover. Heal 2 people at once? Yes please.

3. I try to not use Energy Drain to restore MP. But, if you die, or for some reason you spam Succor, I don't see the harm. It is all about knowing when to use your Aetherflow stacks and how the fight will be progressing through phases.
