Do I have to control Eos?

[Poringing]

(Long sigh) Why is everyone bashing OP?

He (she?) stated he's level 45-46, where people are getting the hang of the game and learning how to deal with more and more complex mechanics. At that level, you shouldn't worry about your fairy, but instead focus more on yourself. Absolutely no point learning to micro-manage Eos when the scholar himself has difficulty surviving.

After you get the hang of the mechanics and survival, you start to focus on your fairy, which is at around Titan HM, the first point where your fairy may matter ("may" being the operative word here).

Yes, you need to learn how to micro-manage your Eos for raids and such. But leave it for later. A scholar that leaves the fairy as she pleases but does his job keeping tank up is a decent scholar; but a scholar who is pro at micro-managing fairy but doesn't know how to prep the tank for big hit is a piece of s***.

Sample 'fairy' lesson plan:
Dzemael darkhold - learn to position your fairy
Titan HM - learn to manage Eos' skills
T5 - learn to maximize fairy potential
