    Wow didn't expect so many replies!

    After thinking about it a bit I realize I may actually need to take Fey off the macro. It is amazing, having a one button press ~400 AoE regen, but I just did Titan Ex and found I was very hesitant to use Whispering Dawn at all, trying to save Fey Illumination for the later stomps or situations where say a few people get hit by something.

    That said, I may end up making two macros. One with Rouse+Fey+Whispering Dawn, and one just with Rouse+Whispering Dawn. I ALWAYS use Whispering Dawn after Fey Illumination. The whole point of that ability is so that everybody in range takes more healing, I.E. AoE heals. I'd never blow that cooldown so I could single target heal the tank a bit more.

    I've been using a macro for Virus for ages, it was the first macro I made so many months ago. The other one I forgot to, but need to do is Ruin II. Most people don't see it as a heal or damage prevention but that blind can go a long ways. Right before a MB, Adlo+Sacred Soil (If you have the Aetherflow stack to spare)+Virus+RuinII. If MB doesn't miss, at least you'll prevent a lot of the damage.

    I also didn't bother putting Embrace on a macro with all my abilities. I have Embrace on my hotbar right beside Physick and Adlo on the X button on the gamepad, and I spam the heck out of it even while casting. I suppose it couldn't hurt to macro it anyways, when things get crazy hectic sometimes I'll forget to spam it while I'm switching targets, trying to heal everyone up after some big mistake. Then again though, there's something to be said for letting Eos heal up one low target while you heal up another, rather than super focusing on one.

    @Lyrio

    It seems this macro is designed so that Eos doesn't cast Embrace at all while the macro is active. I'm not sure how, but apparently it has to do with the /pac stay. Credit goes to Croakstar for figuring that out, because when I tried my own macro Eos would always cast Embrace even if I spammed it.

    I don't see why you wouldn't want Fey Illumination tied to Whispering Dawn...if as a SCH you need an AoE heal greater than Succor, the the party should be taking some massive damage (stomps etc.) otherwise your fellow WHM can easily top everyone off without breaking a sweat since Divine Seal has a much better cd and WHM aoe is far superior.

    Maybe I could see popping it solely for the WHM's benefit. But otherwise Whispering Dawn heals for peanuts.

    You do have a point, it is personal preference to have Fey Illumination on it's own.
    Rouse & whispering dawn is the standard and is normally used where the party is about to take a pummeling and used in conjunction with Sacred Soil and Succor.
    Fey Illumination is always available to me but is based on the party and whether they need it.

    I have embrace on keybind, because I can stay on top of healing the tank and instruct Eos to heal someone else.

    True.
    Another option is to place Eos nearby a squishy Melee DPS and even tank.
    Her heals will automatically generate more frequently. This will free you up a bit.
    Be mindful of AOE.
