Tips for SCH? :)

I have a question about the Fairy. Will she still cast Embrace on players below 80% on obey, or do you have to command her to heal at any time Obey is on?

It is 80% and you can't turn it off even if you want to.

One of your earlier posts talked about figuring out how to fit skills into your 32 slots. As a controller player, my approach is a combination of putting some abilities (like summons and protect) on a 3rd bar and also using some macros to save space. I discuss it in lots of detail in my guide.

As for micro-managing, that term is probably scarier than it needs to be. It basically boils down to two things: manually casting Embrace for the tank who is over 80% health and treating your faerie's cool downs as your own instead of letting her waste them at random.

Hello !

Some use only Selene, other than Eos. I'm learning to play scholar and i don't understand. I use Eos in dungeon beacause i'm not sure of myself but, once 60, i will use Selene all the time ?

Hello ! ...

Pre level 40, Selene doesn't bring much to the table. Few situations require an AoE cleanse, and silent dusk won't bring anywhere near the benefit of whispering dawn.

40+ the game changes as you can provide a significant speed buff every 60 seconds. You will likely use Selene nearly full time at this point during dungeon runs and solo play.

I personally still use Eos for boss fights. These fights love to bring scripted AoE damage and Fey illumination+rouse+whispering Dawn is just godly.

One of your earlier posts talked about figuring out how to fit skills into your 32 slots. As a controller player, my approach is a combination of putting some abilities (like summons and protect) on a 3rd bar and also using some macros to save space. I discuss it in lots of detail in my guide.

I agree with this approach and would like to add some input.

I put all my main healing skills, as well as the active fairy skills, on crossbar 1. I put all my DPS skills, as well as Cleric Stance, on crossbar 3 (because crossbar 2 is my shared items-and-stuff bar). Then I use Extended Crossbar (LT+RT or RT+LT) and put my less-used stuff like Raise, summoning macros (will get to those), Protect, Sustain, and pet positioning skills up there for easy access.

As for the summoning macros, I use these:

/micon "Summon"
/ac Summon
/crosshotbar pet "Silent Dusk" 1 LDL
/crosshotbar pet "Fey Caress" 1 LDU
/crosshotbar pet "Fey Wind" 1 LDR
/wait 2
/petaction Obey
/wait 4
/petaction Obey

and

/micon "Summon II"
/ac "Summon II"
/crosshotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" 1 LDL
/crosshotbar pet "Fey Covenant" 1 LDU
/crosshotbar pet "Fey Illumination" 1 LDR
/wait 2
/petaction Obey
/wait 4
/petaction Obey

These will summon a pet, set its skills to crossbar 1, and set the pet to Obey. This means you don't need to keep both Eos' and Selene's skills on your bar at all times - the macros will switch them out as needed, depending on which fairy you summoned. Three less slots needed on your bars.

She will still. ( but i think it's below 70%). But when it's not the case, you gotta ask her to cast it. ( precast and all the stuff)

[Zadocfish]

That makes it a lot simpler to focus, then; relying on her to patch holes in your concentration and you still have control over when she pops her CDs. If that's the case, it sounds like micro-managing will be much less of a nightmare for a new player! That actually makes me want to give the class the old college try.

[Llynd]

Haha yeah indeed ! Yet, i recommend you to make a macro to spam Embrace to the MT. This will help you a lot for the rest, let her alone, she will heal peeps on her own ! Remember to place her: she is unfortunately focusing on following you instead of casting.

Selenes is DPS increase and dispelling
EoS is high heal and magic shield

The use depends on the group progress and the ability from the sch to heal alone or not

Once you're confident in your healing/dpsing rotation Selenes is a go to, acting like a strong permanent regen
If you're not sure of yourself or if the content you're running is intense/damage and strong magic damage. Go for EoS she will do wonder for your group !

In the end it's only a choice from the sch.

Do not EVER pretend adloquim is bad.
