nice guide!

You do realize that being a SCH or WHM doesn't effect the efficacy of heals on a WAR right? No matter what, all forms of healing are currently better on a PLD than a WAR even with full stacks of Wrath. Simply because mitigation effects such as Shield Oath are applied prior to damage is actually applied to shields.

I think we are trying to say the same with different words. I just don't agree that SCH > WHM can be generalized like that. If you say SCH/WHM over WHM/WHM I totally agree but not with SCH/WHM over SCH/SCH for example.
And since you can't solo heal Coil (yet) saying SCH > WHM for coil is just not right.

Sorry, probably not the right place to ask, but is it intended that sacred soil and shadow fire can't be up at the same time?

In the words of the reps "This feature is working as intended". Sacred Soil provides a potent, ground-placed, damage reduction while Shadow Flare is another ground-placed ability that provides damage over time and a permanent slow effect. The two together would be a little OP. Personally, I prefer spamming Shadow Flare on targets that it can effect, saving the aethercharges for Lustrate, Bane, or SS when facing highly damaging attacks.

The reasoning is because a critical Adloq applies a shield that absorbs the doubled value of the crit

[Example]: Adloq - non crit = 650 | It applies a shield with a value of 650.
Adloq - crit = 1100 | It applies a shield with a value of 2200.

I don't post here often, but I just wanted to tell you that this information has completely changed the way I consider my favorite job in the game. I really can't thank you enough.

i just want the pet to not break out of steady when i tell her to cast embrace, and also i want to be able to actualy hit obey on a target (friendly target) and make her spam embrace anytime that specific target is no longer at 100% hp, that is all i want in terms of fairy control

this is brilliant.

As I leveled up SCH, I have found myself in dungeons (I am guilty of dungeon grinding instead of FATE grinding hehehe :P), that I did not use Eos during trash mobs. Eos aggroed WAY TOO MUCH.

Its been a while now since I wrote this and yeah I use Selene a lot now. Typically I only use Eos now when there's a lot of aoe damage or movement, such as Demon Wall, but aside from that since everything is speed runs now she can get quite problematic. If you're taking your time, her regen tends to wear off before you move onto the next group of mobs, but if people are rushing through or grabbing plenty of mobs along the way (WP comes to mind) she'll put her regen up and cause you to aggro things off the tank while they're pulling. You could just set her not to use that, but then there's no point in using her over selene generally I use Selene during most boss fights too now.

I'll have to update this guide soon.

To be precise: Eos herself will aggro with the AE-hot not you - if she dies its not that bad (in comparison to the heal dying ) :>

Well yeah, I meant that, but its still pretty awkward. You cant turn off her heals obviously so as she takes damage she'll just continuously heal herself somewhere away from the tank most likely until she dies. Chances are it will likely run at you afterwards, if not, it's still pretty frustrating for yourself and the party when you have things running all over the place

Are you sure they don't work together? I am able to place shadow flare on the ground (see the slow debuff on mobs) and then pop sacred soil (and see the buff on my tank).

Are you telling me that even though the buffs show, they aren't both being used?

Sacred Soil
potent

You are such a funny guy.
