Manually using pet abilities?

[Tandy]

I tend to use Selene when I am not worried about the fairy healing, and I let her have her way....since now she rotates the buffs like magic I of course only use her though when I dont need or want Eos for healing. If I feel like I must have her buffs and her healing both, I will micro her just like before the update and rotate the buffs myself (even though I always hate doing that).

With Eos, I always, and I mean always keep her under control. I have a Logitech G13 I use for all my keybinding, and I have Embrace right along side the rest of my heals. Coupled with mouseover macros for my stuff I can split healing when needed, or fire off her heal when needed on my target. If you dont use Rouse with WD, you should. It makes it much easier to deal with getting a group back up fast.

A good or bad scholar is super easy to spot imo. If a fight starts with Eos blowing every cooldown off the bat....its usually a bad scholar. I know that might upset some people who refuse to micro manage her, but it really boils down to the fact if you use her correctly your a way more powerful healer than if you let her run wild. Yes she will cast her heals on people when they get low, but she wont top anyone off, and lets face it... if someone is just a little bit hurt the fairy heal is perfect to top them off with, and its free!
