Do I have to control Eos?

[Vallug]

OK so I love Scholar (loved healing in WoW as well) as I find it alot funner than white mage. Now I am at 45..almost 46 and I have never controlled what Eos does. I just back her up if the party needs heals. If I decide to raid or do EX or coil am I going to have to control her abilities? Cause I like just letting her to her own devices.

Yes. /10char

Val short answer is yes. Using the Healing Effectiveness Buff from Eos at a specific time when incoming damage is higher will help you a ton. Also you're going to want to use Rouse+Healing Buff + Whisper ( AoE Regen ) in tandem when incoming AoE Damage is nasty. And then theres the Magic Defense Buff too. You're going to want to use that when Magic Damage incoming to your tanks/team is increased. Im pretty sure you can macro all that so you can set them as an Action Bar Key Press.

One of those questions even a child should be able to answer. The "obey" command for pets exists for a reason, you know. If it was perfectly fine to just put them on sic they might as well've left Obey out entirely.

If you let Eos do what she wants then she'll just blow her cooldowns at unnecessary times more often that not.

No not really. But it would be best you made some macros that tie in both your pet abilities and yours. The most I do is placing. I have never used eos/selene's abilities manually and my parties live. I guess this depends on your play style.

Yes.

If you don't, you won't have the abilities you want when you need them.

No need to be rude.

I will probably do something similar to this.

I'd say yes. I use her a lot. Mainly for Embrace, her AoEs, especially the ones that improve healing. I definitely use her in big pulls and on bosses, she can really help boost your healing if you control her. Also placing her is important. AoE's are not gonna be worth much if she's not near tanks/people who need it. However, as someone stated earlier, it is based on your playstyle, I guess. I like to think of her as another healer in my party that I can control, kind of makes managing her a bit easier :P
