Troubles with Scholar

[NobleWinter]

I didn't realize I was in what appears to be the minority using a controller to play Sch. I have one cross hotnbar for healing and one for doing damage with a third shared bar that I use for every class for things like Limit Breaks and summoning mounts etc. I will say I have quite a few macros though. Sacred Soil is tied to Fey Covenant. Largesse and Emergency Tactics are combined. Deployment and Chain Stratagem. Rouse and Whispering Dawn... Now that I think about it Sch does require a lot of work. I learned how to macro just so I could play the class. That doesn't seem very intuitive or user friendly at all.

You made this sound like macros are necessary for playing scholar. I play with a controller too and don't use a single macro. And I'm sure I'm not the only person who doesn't use them.

People shouldnt be afraid of the amount of skills, it doesnt really matter if you have 2 pages of skillbars or 4, since you can simply switch between them. However, I agree that Sch might be confusing at first.

Yep, the only macro I have on my Sch (well, besides raise macro with text) is to place SS/Shadow Flare on target if one is selected so I don't have to mess with the target ring most of time. I also use a controler but do agree that the fairy abilities (and this goes for Summoner as well since I play that class) should swap based off of which one is out at the time.
