Scholar Pet MO Macros

[Niwashi]

After that is sorted out you'll need to make your macros, Something along the lines of these should do. You can create your own macros by going to System >> User Macros
Once you've made one dragging and dropping that macro to your hotbar should work!

I can understand that Embrace macro. A macro lets you use alternate targeting (in this case, either your mouse-over, your target, or yourself). But none of the rest of these macros appear to accomplish anything. They're just a single skill. If you're not going to have any alternate skills or alternate targets, then why create macros for them rather than just putting the skill directly on your hotbar?

Because the actual macros I use combine selene AND eos skills in one line. What your saying is correct if you weren't going to combine the two pet skills it would be pointless and better to just use the action pulled from your list. I simply did this for showing how they would be written. I didn't post the actual macros I use because it can be a bit more confusing for newer players especially because the pet skills that I have mixed do not share the same visual cooldowns if you were to switch pets. This can be extremely confusing if you only plan on using 4 slots to show cooldowns.


For example, one of the macro I currently use is as followed:

/micon "Fey Wind" pet Selene
/petaction "Fey Wind" <me>
/petaction"Whispering Dawn" <me>

For new players I would actually recommend using this one instead...

/micon "Fey Wind" pet Selene
/petaction "Fey Wind" <me>
/petaction"Fey Illumination" <me>

This way the cooldown recast is shown properly. As I stated in this post I linked above, I played SCH when it released at 2.0 back then pet macros were not supported and to micromanage your pet you had to just drag the ability to your bar. Back then when the class first came out I placed them on my bar based on what made sense in practice. But once we had the ability to macro each ability together, it would have made more sense if they had been placed differently. Because of this and muscle memory I have my macros adjusted as I'm used to~

Just for reference these abilities share the same cool-downs and I recommended pairing these together.

Ex: pet bar alignment - cooldowns shared
Eos <<>> Selene
Embrace <<>> Embrace
Whisper Dawn <<>> Silent Dusk
Fey Covenant <<>> Fey Caress
Fey Illumination <<>> Fey Wind
