the way the pets are done right now, you dont need to micro manage then except on very situational scenarios... for fairies like eos only before/after a big hit for the whole group you will really need any other skills than embrace, and that she does herself pretty well already. and if you know that will happen at some point you can just save the skills to use when they are needed, becuase only embrace is the thing you will want to use all the time, and she already does it automatically at some % of hp...

same goes for summoner egis, you will really only need their main basic atack, wihch they already use on obey, the other are very situational, like aoe damage, buffs, debuffs and stuns... again.. i woudl rather save those than wasting at somepoint.. like using the eegis aoe on one single enemy, feels like a waste.

if you cant stand waiting for eos to only cast embrace on a party member around 80 70% hp, you can just macro embrace and force her to use it yourlsef. I never noticed that wait time on sic *i never use sic so..* but if thats true, i think its by choice, to reinforce the idea that a player controle pet is better than leting it do their thing by themselves, they were very open saying that they dont want a gambit system like ff12, that makes the character play by themselves, so having a fairy being that good doing stuff by herself would go against that idea they had.
