Do I have to control Eos?

[Alexia89]

But having tried numerous macros around on the web, the one that makes me laugh like a drain and which quickly made an exit from my hotbar is the Physick/Embrace one. You people really use that? seriously? Don't give me the "oh but it gives you a 700 potency heal"....haven't you ever noticed that if you find the need to cast Physick on a target...you can be sure she's casting Embrace at the same time.

It's useful for precasting against imminent large damage. Also, Eos can be derpy as f***. So, no- you can't be sure she's casting on the same target as you unless you are ordering her to do so.
I do also have Embrace macro'd separately, though. The Physick/Embrace is situational (precasts as mentioned, or for ensuring Eos is spamming on the same target as myself when needed.. rather than having to hit two different macros for that.)

@OP- If you want to play Scholar seriously in end game, learn to control Eos. Not doing so is just going to put your team at a disadvantage.
Yes, there are Scholars out there that claim to not do so and do just fine.... But they're just riding on the shoulders of the second healer in their group.
