Question about SCH fairy macro

[Remilia_Nightfall]

"Desired Macro" - Stands for the pet ability macro that you are trying to create.

You cannot make it just like I put it in the post thus why you must hardware macro the ability.

Yes you can use a third party program to macro your keys. Depending on what you are comfortable using.

Shields977 is correct.

Updated my original post so it can be easier to understand:

changed the "desired macro" on "Keybind Ex. 2:" to "targeting macro" to better portray the process and posted a targeting macro that will work with the example.

I am having issues with this.

While I can do the Embrace + Physick macro correctly using Razer Synapse, it seems I CANNOT properly macro the pet stance.

I mean, I can, but it's no use - in the fraction of a second between the end of the cast and the macro pressing the "Steady" stance, the fair will blow all cooldowns.

How can I stop this from happening?

I think we can't avoid this at this time.
You have to time Steady Perfectly right after Embrace to avoid pet using auto Whispering Wind/etc
or the Embrace casting will be canceled

Damn.

timing the macro perfectly is pretty much impossible due to latency, and even in 1ms the idiot fairy will just blow every skill she has.
Also, I have to time it with my Physick and Adlo casts because I can't press Steady when I am casting something.

Seriously...

I've come to think that this is somewhat by design.

I don't think SE really wants us manually using every embrace (or embrace at all really).

Sure, it would be nice if they let us, but, there is actually a pretty soild work around: Fairy placement.

Your fairy has a short auto cast range for party members at a bout half her max cast range (will auto cast on you at max range though).

So place your fairy accordingly. Eos has a pretty solid reaction time for casting embrace on targets, so keep her near only those targets you want her healing and she will heal them when ever you would other wise tell her too.

For titan: Leave her on follow and keep yoruself near the middle.
AK: Place in side ark of boss (will heal tank and any mele, ranged shoudln't need her help)
CM: Auto follow and keep near tanks and dds. (There is no boss aoe that isnt' easy to avoid)
Coil 1: Place in side arc on side bards aren't bringing slimes in on.
Coil 2: Auto follow with you in the front middle position will hit tanks ( a little vague, lots of different strats being used for this fight so, YMMV)
I haven't personally healed 4, so idk, my bff jill, but having tanked it I feel there are viable options.

TL, DR: Place command IS your manual targeting of embrace command.
