How Can I Make my Fairy act like it USED to? :-(

[Forever_Learning]

You know,

when it would follow me around, cast embrace when needed, but not the other spells until requested.

Is that too much to ask for? :'-(

Target an enemy with Obey. Sadly this is the only thing I have found that brings it back to being close to the way it was before 2.1.

But then I need to still

-tell it to follow me
-tell it to cast embrace

Somehow, it used to be smart enough to do those things on its own

Frankly, if I have to micro-manage everything my pet does, then why even have a pet?

It just feels like some extra spells I have that technically only work when this fairy has been summoned.

It feels much less like a team effort between me and Eos now

Eos will still cast embrace on her own while under the effects of obey when HP triggers her, like she did before.

Incorrect. In order for Eos to free cast Embrace you have to target and enemy and click "obey" THEN you have to click "Steady". If you do not put here on Steady after pressing Obey she will do nothing until you tell her to.

I also did Turn 4 on SCH yesterday, and my Obey didn't reset after the mob I targeted died. Like usual, I targeted one of the bugs at the beginning, pressed Obey, she stayed on Obey the whole fight. *shrug*

If you press steady after you press obey, Eos will free cast Embrace only until she either dies or you resummon her.

then how the heck do you initiate full manual control? i was under the impression that target mob-->obey-->GUARD was only auto cast embrace, and that target mob-->obey--> steady was full manual control and that she wouldn't cast embrace. i've heard a million different things by now. is there any way to do what i'm describing?

Steady before the fight so they won't use their buffs once you aggro. Target a mob, press Obey. They will stay on obey until they die, and they will automaticly cast embrace on people as usual, and you can use your buffs when you need them to, and using one will not trigger them to go auto-retard and use the rest of the buffs un-necessarily.

Obey is fantastic. Works great with Eos.

What's annoying now is Selene. She'll properly autocast both of her buffs and alternate them now, but you can't manually tell her to use Embrace. If you set her to Obey to manually Embrace, then you need to manually do the buffs as well.

Oh well, just take it as one more thing to learn and master that makes the difference between a good Scholar and a great one.

Obey is fantastic. Works great with Eos.

Turn 4 was so ANNOYING!!

I didn't realize for a while why my commands didn't work, until I realized I had to keep resetting obey!!

Every time the enemy dies, off goes obey, and with the new enemies, I have to spend the first few seconds restting obey when I would rather be on the tank!

Eventually, figured it all (used obey on dreadnaughts cause they lived longest) and we got through it, but man - frustrating!!!

Also, during turn 1 - Eos keep drifting off in the distance for some reason >.>

Maybe because I used obey without heel, so it set place?

Why does obey set place?

You dont have to KEEP pressing Obey on every new set of mobs. You press Obey once and it stays on Obey until it dies.
