Needing macro help

Need proper formatting to get my pet to heal target of target and target because for some reason <tt > and <t > aren't valid "names" in my macros for some friggin reason.

Basically looking for a priority. Example, WoW's macros I use the following for my healing spells:

(old syntax, easier to read but still works)
/cast [target=mouseover, help] Healing Wave; [help] Healing Wave; Healing Wave

Target priority is mouseover(friendly), friendly selected target, self.

That's what I'm looking for here.

<mo > works, but the target and target of target aren't working with Embrace. i want my pet to cast on the person I just cast on, without having to hard target it. If I cast on mouseover, she casts on mouseover. If I cast on target of target, she casts on target of target.

or is this not possible?

are you using /pac?

You mean you want to use embrace on your target or your target's target. Should be somthing like:

/pac "embrace" <t>
/pac "embrace <tt>

Both in a single macro. It works for me.

Yes, exactly.

Problem is, I keep getting the error that <tt>, <mo> and <t> are not valid target names when I hit the damn thing. Seems to be giving me the error for the two targets that aren't being cast on.. like if it's casting on my current target, <mo> and <tt> aren't valid.

And that error spam is pissing me off.

Example of my base, and I'm not working with other spells until I get this figured out.

/micon "Physick"
/ac "Physick" <mo>
/ac "Physick" <tt>
/ac "Physick" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <mo>
/pac "Embrace" <tt>
/pac "Embrace" <t>

Uhmmmm...it might be some "compatibility" issue with the content inside < >.
Try with this:

/micon "Physick"
/ac "Physick" <t>
/ac "Physick" <tt>
/pac "Embrace" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <tt>

That is, the same macro you're using but without the mouseover command and with <t> before <tt>. I've had these kind of problems too, it seems that some commands just don't go well togheter :/

These types of healing macros cannot exist. Your only real option at combining them are

/pac Embrace <t>
/ac Physick <t>

You can also add <mo>, but you CANNOT add <tt> with <t> In a healing macro. When Eos or Selene tries to heal your target (an Enemy Mob), who is attacking a player, they will heal themselves, because the command to heal <t> is not a valid target, so instead they must heal the valid target of themselves. Latency and the rate at which your macro is being processed can cause very bad things as well. Targeting your tank you cast the macro, but instead of healing the tank Eos receives the command to heal <tt> and heals herself instead. Keep your healing macros to a minimum and you will suffer less!

A few things to know about scholar healing macros
1) Put the pet actions first. Pets respond milliseconds slower than your own actions.
2) If you would like to use the macro icon for Selene's Embrace type

/macroicon Embrace Selene


3) Using a pet action like stay or heel, will interrupt a skill the pet is using and leave the command queue open. (mileage varies)

Here is what I use.

/micon Physick
/ac Physick <mo>
/ac Physick <t>
/pac Embrace <mo>
/pac Embrace <t>

This will make either Eos or Selene cast Embrace on the same target you are healing. You still get the error message though. You can turn that off in chat settings. You con hover over the target or the party list. Either one works. The Embrace CD is also a bit longer than your Physick. Hope this helps.

Except that I was given this specific one by someone that uses it. And it apparently works for him.

I've been testing with Eos. She *will* cast Embrace on my target if I heal the target, and will cast it on my target's target if the target is invalid(hostile). She's also cast on my mouseover.

Problem is, I don't want the gd error messages spamming my screen, and if I turn those off in the chat settings, I don't see actual error messages I want to see.

WoW also had a command to turn that off in macros too.

/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Macro system here is making me incredibly sad after using that one. ><

Edit, purpose of <tt> in macros is to target the boss and dot his arse up but put my pet heals on the tank while mashing that button in between DoT casts.

<t> combined with <tt> will never work with embrace. Whichever line's first will always be applied when it comes to healing spells.

When you target an invalid target for healing, the caster of the spell will always target him or herself

So for example: Enemy A is targeting Friendly B, you target A
targeting A with <tt> would heal B
Targeting B with <tt> would cause the fairy to heal herself and <t> would never happen

Simply because <tt> targets an invalid target for healing and thus the fairy will heal herself

Alternatively you could write two macro's, one with <t> and another with <tt>, but this completely beats the purpose of a macro - Which I find ridiculous to use in the first place and is a poorman's lazy tool for healing (or for PS4 player)

Edit:
But I suppose I could offer you a solution to your ordeal, although somewhat unorthodox.
<circle>, <square>, <ignore1>, <attack1> whatever you can imagine by marking targets are valid placeholders for macro's
for example:
/pac "Embrace" <circle>
This line would heal whoever's "circle"

Keep in mind: Overly complex or unflexible macro's such as these would make your gameplay clunky

edit2:
As for why this would work:
/pac "embrace" <circle>
/pac "embrace" <t>

If there is no one marked with a circle, the <t> would be read instead. This does require someone to be marked with a specific mark AND your fairy will not heal anyone else as long you have this macro, meaning less control over your fairy. (remember what I said about macro's earlier in this post?)

Incredibly annoying.

Why can't they use a macro system that *doesn't* suck? Lol
