    Macros can set eos/selene skills individually now

    I haven't seen this posted much, so I thought I'd bring it up for those who haven't caught it.

    Ever since one of the hotfixes shortly after 2.3 2.28, individual faerie skills can be set by macro onto individual hotbar slots. Originally, the text command reference didn't cover this syntax, but it looks like it's been updated to include it.

    So if you're using Eos/Selene abilities by themselves (i.e., not macroing Embrace with other stuff or using super-CD macros), you can use these instead of dedicating entire hotbars just to the difference between Eos and Selene. This is how I use the faerie skills, and to me, this is a whole lot easier than futzing around with multiple/hidden hotbars every time I want to change something.

    For keyboard (for example):
    Code:
    /micon "Summon"
    /ac "Summon"
    /hotbar pet "Embrace" eos 1 5
    /hotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" eos 1 6
    /hotbar pet "Fey Covenant" eos 1 7
    /hotbar pet "Fey Illumination" eos 1 8
    This sets Eos abilities to hotbar 1 slots 5-8.

    For gamepad:
    Code:
    /micon "Summon"
    /ac "Summon"
    /chotbar pet "Embrace" eos 1 RAL
    /chotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" eos 1 RAU
    /chotbar pet "Fey Covenant" eos 1 RAR
    /chotbar pet "Fey Illumination" eos 1 RAD
    This sets Eos abilities to cross hotbar 1, buttons X, Triangle, Circle, Square, respectively.

    The rest of hotbar/chotbar 1 stay unchanged for either case. You can do the same with Selene abilities, of course. Embrace is actually the only one where you need to specify the appropriate faerie name after the name of the skill, since it's the same name for both faeries, but it doesn't hurt to have the name there for all of them.

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.
