Noobie SCH has some questions please

Adlo should always come first when tank healing. You can use physick on DPS since they don't get hit very often but on the tank always adlo first and only physick if they need further healing and the shield is still on them.

Also I feel it will be useful to get in the habit of stance dancing. Scholars are generally expected to DPS in high end stuff when they can afford to. Best to learn early!

Also helpful-if you're using Eos, do not for the love of god have her on automatic. She blows her load faster than a $5 hooker in a frat house. Learn what her spells do and use them yourself.

Adlo spam on the tank is fine in ex primals and dungeons, but it is a bad habit for final coil, as you will run yourself OOM rather quickly. Physick is my bread and butter for coil, with Adlo going out for tank busters and high damage phases/adds.

Never had mana problems outside of T13 (and every move is a tank buster on that fight anyway xD).
Adlo on the tank is always effective. I only physick dps who get low, really.

I'm so glad people are becoming so vocal about how poorly scholar macros work. If you are healing intensive content that gcd Eos lost healing herself instead of low hp dps is felt. The other issue is, just like with any class, macros on your attack spells prevent you from queuing each spell. This causes a slight lag or delay between each spell and is an overall dps loss.

Edit: One thing I never see mentioned, for controller there is a target assist. Makes it really easy to throw out lustrates when dpsing.

Crap, or your definitions of "spam Adlo" differ.
If you spam it, no amount of PIE+manasong will safe you from going oom, but for the benefit of doubt I guess that's not wat Foxy really means.

For the 37 SCH OP, do NOT spam Adlo, you will run oom.
If you are 50 and do some dungeons, also, don't only spam adlo, you will run oom.

spam =/= use it occasionally while your WHM does the raw healing in raids.

Plus if you really spam adlo, you may not be taking full advantage of the shield effect when you override it with your next adlo in case the hit that came didn't use the shield up fully.

[DarkerOrange]

My definition of 'spam' for dungeon content is to exclusively use Adlo to heal the tank, casting it again as soon as the shield drops. This works great for the kind of trash you get in dungeons, but in FCoB it is not worth doing, as a boss' auto attack will eat your shield, so I save Adlo for when it really matters.

[Spoekes]

Giving a 37 SCH the advice to only use adlo in dungeons is bad advice.

100% this - if you say dps is great, why remove your spell queueing abilities? Healing at 80% rarely feels risky to me. I usually tell eos to stay close by the tank and she does well at keeping them up (in dungeons). Also, I made it so when I press the right analog stick, I target my target's target - works great for lustrates and healing other tanks in alliances.
