I have a question:
What is that so-called micro manage fairies?Use fairies buffs manually? Manually cast embrace (why?) ? Do macros to cast embrace with adl /physick?
And... Big question. Eos or Selene? :P
Micro managing is the fun part of scholar for me, squeezing all that healing out of the fairies is less I need to heal, which means more DPS I can dish out, or less my whm partner has to heal. You'll want to ensure that your fairy is placed in such a way that it is in range to buff any who need it. How you'll use your cooldowns with Eos will likely differ player to player based on preference, but Eos is typically better to use when learning an encounter because of the restorative buffs that make recovering from mistakes easier than Selene. If you leave Eos on Sic, she will use every cooldown at the start of a battle and continue to use them as they come off cooldown, which oftentimes leaves you high and dry when you actually need AoE healing. Selene will rotate her buffs accordingly, and the impact of Sic is much lower with her.

Perhaps as important as managing cooldowns, is the manual use of Embrace. You'll notice that a fairy on Sic will automatically cast embrace when a party member reaches 80% or so. This can be less than ideal, especially if you're trying to DPS on top of heals, because your fairy is already behind 20% by the time it starts healing. On Obey, you can start casting embrace on the tank immediately starting the encounter, making it less likely to fall behind and require your intervention, which leaves you to your own devices, dealing with mechanics, DPS'ing, opening doors or what have you. I typically advise against macro'ing embrace into your heals, because there are situations where you would like to heal one target, and have your fairy heal a different target, which is more difficult to accomplish if you're macro'd into healing the same target all the time.
