PS4 Scholar Macro Question.

[locks2291]

So I'm playing on a PS4 pad, and am thinking of leveling a SCH next, so I been reading up on macros. I know generally if you use keyboard and mouse you can split heal (you healing one person and your pet another) via mouse over macros. So I'm wanting to know is there any way to do such a thing on a controller? My assumption would be yes but I read the macros don't work the same for pad since it is not a "Mouse Over". Even though you are targeted on one member but you're hovered on another. If it is possible would someone be kind enough to give me this macro? Or at the very least can someone confirm that it is not possible. Thanks!

PS4 ''MO'' can be done with the dpad if I'm not mistaken anyone highlighted over that can be targeted by eos as your spells go ''dark'' or cycle because you're casting but Eos abilities are still available and she can be commanded that is how I do all of my ''Obey'' healing I don't use a macro for anything but abilities for my pet that are stacked i.e

Rouse x Whispering Dawn x Fey Illumination

I've found whm to be much easier on PS4, for a couple reasons:

1. SCH has so. many. buttons. Seriously, you need 3 hotbars to appropriately manage all your (and your pets) skills and spells.
2. getting your pet to move to a location (or your lvl 45 skill) by dropping a point on the map is needlessly slow on the controller.

yeah sch definitely takes getting used to on controller and whm feels more natural on controller
here's my whm controller setup: http://youtu.be/IxkUFxoTwkw
I'll go make one for my sch setup and edit it into this post

I play sch on ps4 and have no problem. You just need to know what stuff ur not going to use. My 1st hotbar is healing spells, pet spells and aetherflow stuff. 2nd has pets, rez and cooldowns. Macro ur dots and remove bane and either ruin.

are you seriously suggesting to remove Bane? o_o

I play on PS4 and have an alt SCH and the best 'workaround' I've got is dedicating a full cross bars (8 slots) to just Physick + embrace macros for players 2-8 and a regular Physick if I have to manually choose.

ex.

If you cast;
/ac "Physick" <2>
/pac "Embrace" <2>

then immediately cancel and start casting
/ac "Physick" <4>
/pac "Embrace" <4>

your pet will still cast embrace on player 2 and you will cast your physick on player 4 which will then be followed by embrace from your pet on player 4 to complete the macro. Not your pet needs to be in Obey and will not work if you have Selene set to sic. I have it like this so I only have to press one (or two) buttons to get me and my pets to heal a target.

Ikr? I really hope no one takes that advice; we don't need more SCHs who use only half of their skillset.

Never remove Bane from your bar. Also NEVER macro Embrace to any heal skill. It is a bad habit.

[Defteros]

Also NEVER macro Embrace to any heal skill. It is a bad habit.

uh, why is that? >_>
I've always macro'd embrace with adlo/physick, and i've never had any problems healing, unsless I go full derp mode xD
