Noobie SCH has some questions please

if you are targeting the tank, then yes, it should work. Whether it's comfortable to use is another issue. Mainly when you want to cast bio on a target that your embrace target is not targeting

True, but it still lets you help in some form while still having the tank selected. You can set up Bane on a <t> and <tt> as well so you can Bane the tank's target, hitting anything nearby. Often as Scholar when you have to burn things quickly, they die before you can cast your dots anyways so this would be more so for helping with boss and add damage.

I'm a PC user, so I can't really imagine how a Scholar can play with all the constant target switching. There -was- a topic about this before. But of course as a desktop player I didn't bother reading it xD But for you console players, it may be interesting:
