So after working on macros for my scholar I was wondering what people use for summoner? Most of the scholar macros I see involve using EOS moves so is it wise to take garuda off auto pilot?

Garuda is better off with Obey for more efficiency usage of Contagion.
SMN, as for me, requires no macro because it will drop your DPS if you see the macro to put up Dots and it will be very awkward to re-apply Dots and as the result, you waste your mana unnecessarily. The only macro for SMN worth be using is Swiftcast-Raise.
Only thing I really Macro is Dots. I suppose you could do a Spur > Rouse > Enkindle. DoTs > Contagion. My DoT macro is Bio 2 > Miasma > Bio1. By the time Bio1 wears, every other has about 2 or 3 secs left so it rebuffs them.
letting your dots fall off at all is very bad. excluding contagion, you have enough time to do fester twice before having to reapply bio, ruin II, miasma, ruin II, and finally bio II. the only one that will get close to falling off is bio. miasma and bio II would both start being casted again at around 4 seconds, letting the full dmg go thru, and all being applied once they hit 1-0 seconds, and before they fall off. if you are going to macro any dot, it should be bio to go with contagion, and even that is dangerous, because if timed badly, garuda will use contagion before bio is applied. can be fixed with a wait, however.
Dots Macro is bad....

Since I have Garuda on Obey, I macro'd Aereal Slash (the AOE one) to Bane so it triggers right afterward rather than going to waste when it's off CD waiting on me to trigger it next. Plus of all the skills you could tie Aereal Slash to, Bane makes the most sense to me since I only use it when there's enough mobs in close proximity to each other with sufficient health to be worth the expenditure. If I'm using bane to spread DOT's to sleeping/bound mobs without waking I have to swap to the regular version, but that's a rare enough situation it's worthwhile keeping the macro'd version on my main crossbar.
Would you be willing to share the macro?Since I have Garuda on Obey, I macro'd Aereal Slash (the AOE one) to Bane so it triggers right afterward rather than going to waste when it's off CD waiting on me to trigger it next.
