Selene embrace macro?

I've made the eos physick/embrace macro no problem, but when trying to use the macro on Selene, an error displays saying my pet can't use that skill. I assume this means it's trying to access embrace from eos' skills. Am I missing something? Or is this a problem out of my control?

I wondered if this would happen. The skills are actually different but the same name. Since if you set the Embrace to your HotBar you had to switch the it when you switched Eos and Selene. Looks like my worries are well founded? I have not had a chance to log in since update.

Did you specifically wrote the pet name into the macro? The macro I've made works on both eos and selene without trouble.

/macroicon "Adloquium"
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <t>

That's how my macro looks. Works fine on eos, as soon as I try Selene, she errors out and I just cast physick

Can you make a video showing that you are able to use Selene's Embrace with that macro? I've been trying to figure this out as well and can't seem to find what's up with it. I want to say it's a glitch on the dev's end of it. Anyways, I wrote down exactly what you have and I still get the error. What platform do you play on?

The Steady->Obey->Steady tactic lasts until your faerie dies or is resummoned, ergo as long as you remember to target an enemy, press obey, then press steady ONCE, you should be fine. This will make your pet listen to you, and will allow your pet to free cast embrace but nothing else. If you do this with Eos out and your macro works fine then doesn't when you summon Selene, remember she has to be told to obey again. If you are using Selene though, I would suggest putting her on Sic as this will allow her to cast all of her abilities on rotation, even the skill speed one.

I do like that Selene can basically autocast her spell/skill speed abilities on rotation, but is there no way to have your cake and eat it too? In other words, set Selene (or Eos) on Sic, but also retain the ability to manually cast Embrace, such as on a Tank at 85% HP instead of the 70% auto-trigger? It looks as though when set on Sic, a pet cannot be manually controlled at all.

I've had no problems casting Embrace with just one macro. Are you making sure you're putting your fairy on Obey after switching them?

Also don't forget to account for Embrace's longer cooldown. If you heal immediately after you finish casting then her heal will not be ready yet.

You need to check the patch notes again for proper syntax. Pet name might have to be in the /petaction line.

Also yes, need to be in Obey.

since both pets have ability called embrace /pac technically should work gofor both but only works with Eos

my macro

/micon
/pac "Embrace" <t>

Set to steady and obey. Works for Eos not for Selene.

Hmmm, sorry I can't really film a video right now but I have included a screenshot with my macro and battlelog with echo for clarity on when the macro is triggered. I'm playing on the PC but using a gamepad.

Both Pets must be set to obey after summon else you can't manually task pet to heal using macros. To set to obey, you need to target an enemy first then trigger obey.

I got mine to work actually. I just put the wrong macro down ^^ still want to get the micon to work though

Here are the two macros I use. I use these macros for both pets and they work just fine as long as you remember to put your pet on Obey ( with an enemy targeted ) then press Steady.

/macroicon "Physick"
/ac "Physick" <t>
/ac "Physick" <me>
/pac "Embrace" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <me>

/macroicon "Adloquium"
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/ac "Adloquium" <me>
/pac "Embrace" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <me>

This prioritizes healing your target first, but if you have no target it will heal you like normal.

This.

Hmmm I don't know then. I literally tried everything and I still can't get it working right for Selene. Maybe it's just a bug on PS3 then (I'm on PS3). I'll try and look into more later on.

I'm on PC and my /pac embrace macro works for either Selene or Eos.

I ended up not pairing it to my adlo or physick, though. I just have it as its own macro so I don't need to swap the skills out every time I switch faeries.

I'm also on ps3. It does seem possible that it's a platform specific issue then

Well I made a post about the issue in the in-game bug forums, so hopefully we can try and figure out what's going on.

I just ran into this problem as well, also on a PS3. Stinks, Selene won't cast Embrace with a /pac "Embrace" <t>, keeps saying Your current pet cannot use that action. Works fine with Eos, both are on Obey :)

It's a PS3 issue that's been around for a while. I keep hoping for a fix with each patch.

If on ps3, you can not macro selene's embrace just yet.

Does anyone know if there's an equivalent macro to "/equipaction"? There used to be one in 1.0 if I understand it correct and that one of course doesn't work here.
I'd like to use it to switch between Selene's and Eos' Embrace. Why must there be two of them anyway... :confused:

The closest there is now is /hotbar (or /chotbar). I don't think the /hotbar set "Action Name" [number 1] [number 2] can handle pet actions (and it definitely doesn't handle macros). The best you're going to get is probably to make a couple copies of the hotbar in question with the only changes being the Embrace button and the macro for switching them, and then using /hotbar copy to swap them back and forth (you'll need a third blank bar somewhere to use as swap space).

Try: /pac "Embrace" pet Selene
