Looking For Advice to Improve as a Scholar

[Tranquil]

Not gonna address everything, but here we go...

The problem I'm experiencing comes from the first pull to the ramp. I just seem to be unable to keep up with the damage. I'm trying to use everything I can throw at it. Rousing my fairy and trying to focus embraces into the tank, both of Eos's buffs, Whispering Dawn, Eye for and Eye, Sacred Soil, etc. I'm not sure what main heal I should be focusing. I've seen some say alternate Adlo and Physic (with embrace on CD), some say focus Physic. I am of course throwing in Lustrates when available, but given the damage, I burn through Aetherflow quickly. I also leach the paralyze.

I do all my Bray runs with Selene and also have the time to Swiftcast-Shadow Flare, apply my dots and Bane on the first pull, so this can be a gear issue on your end or on the tank's end. If you have Eye for an Eye up, are spamming Embraces on cooldown (even Roused), do a hefty amount of Adlos and Lustrate when need be - you are already doing enough. If you add Sacred Soil to that equation, on top of having Eos - well, that honestly sounds like a gear issue. Give it a try with people you know to practice a bit more?

The problem I run into is when party members start to fall below the health threshold for when the fairies start to automatically cast embrace. Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Apart from force-overriding your fairy with other commands, such as moving it around (with Place) while it is mid-cast etc. - no, there is not. Having the fairy closer to your target of choice helps with the prioritization a bit, if more than just that person has taken damage. But basically, if your fairy has started to cast Embrace on someone, even if you spam your keybind for it on your own target of choice, the fairy will finish its cast first.

2. Our dots, while they are active, does their damage change if we swap out of cleric stance after casting them? Or do they maintain the damage established at the time of them being cast?

The damage does not change if you go from cleric's stance to non-cleric's stance after application. So as long as you apply them with cleric's stance, you get the full benefit for all the ticks.
