PS4 Scholar Macro Question.

[Whiston]

Last time i checked bane is useless on final coil and it seems like a waste when it could be used on a lustrate or SS. The lower stuff yeah but final coil not really.

As a previous poster said, SCH bane on backfires is op.
Our scholar uses bane in every turn except T11, and that is literally because there is no target to bane. It is so far from useless I almost choked when I read such an implication. I would rank it more crucial than sacred soil and lustrate in Fcob, and if you really removed it from your hotbar, you might do well to revisit some of your skills and reconsider how you use all the tools at your disposal.

However... You are on PS4, right? How do you intend on using a mouse over?

If you would have read the initial post by me you would know I'm wondering if it's possible for a split heal macro where I can heal one target and my pet the other. via targeted and hover target since I'm on a PS4. Hence my question of the presented macro. So far I have not really been given a straight answer only comments as to what I should do, pet management, crossbars, or guides on SCH. I just want a macro where I can do this to alleviate the effort of having to cycle like crazy and do it all manually. This for me is a situational macro in case it is necessary to split heal.

should be possible with focus target
im not sure how mo works on ps4 though

Right, you could set up a macro to basically command Eos to heal whichever target is selected first.

Something like

/pac "embrace" Eos <t>
/pac "embrace" Eos <tt>
/pac "embrace" Eos <f>
/pac "embrace" Eos <2>

... or something to that effect, allowing her to heal in priority, your target, your target's target (if targeting an enemy) your focus target (if you focus the tank for instance) or second on your list, if that is where you usually place your main tank or main healing target.

This is probably the easiest way to do it, and just embrace spam the tank, while you would manually select a target to heal with Physik.

Yeah because you don't bane adds in T10 ?
T11 pretty much no use so you have a point there
T12 Phoenix, Bennu bane .....Black Fire , Phoenix Bane , P3 you can bane at the start when all the birds stack at least until stack 4-5 you can dps
T13 Bane Gust when they stack, Also Bane the sins , Bane the storm with gust , sin .......


Lol this guy says Bane is pointless in FcOB.....hmm SCH derp....why not maximize your output and help your group I do 185 on T13 and it helps , its jut the small things

I would suggest you macro your targeting, not your (pets) spells.

With enough healing, and effortless targeting, even squishy folks can tank.

Are you sure you are playing the same raid as the rest of us? Bane is used all the time in FCoB. I Bane adds in 10, 12, and 13 while my Whm solo heals quite comfortably....

I've found whm to be much easier on PS4, for a couple reasons:

1. SCH has so. many. buttons. Seriously, you need 3 hotbars to appropriately manage all your (and your pets) skills and spells.
2. getting your pet to move to a location (or your lvl 45 skill) by dropping a point on the map is needlessly slow on the controller.

Is actually pretty easy find your play style and like me manage to use only 2 bars I have no problem healing efficiently while at times even helping with DPS. And about the ground targetting there's a setting under character settings which allows you to increase the ground targeting speed

My setup is:

Bar 1: DPS stuff, summon eos/selene, sprint, swift, raise, chocobo
Bar 2: healing stuff, sprint, place, heel, aetherflow, energy drain (which I regret to be here but now is a habit)
L2 + R2: eos skills, protect, x-ether, obey, sic

I don't use stoneskin.
I don't use macros either, to me they feel unreliable and also because it stops you from queueing skills. Though a place/heel macro is fine I think.
With those out, you can fit it onto 2 bars (I'm using 2+1/2 but have some redundant stuff on my bars for convenience and habit).
Just get used to R1 to switch between them and it will be fine

yeah sch definitely takes getting used to on controller and whm feels more natural on controller
here's my whm controller setup: http://youtu.be/IxkUFxoTwkw
