    For the following reasons:
    - Physick and Embrace have different recast timers. This will make your healing inconsistent - One time it'll heal for 700 potency worth another time for 400 potency worth.
    - You'll have a hard time microing embrace to a secondary target.
    - If the Physick is enough to top off the tank, the Embrace will be pure overhealing while another target is missing maybe 200-300 HP (see previous point)
    Personally I feel this overstates the disadvantages while omitting the advantages... but to each their own. I tried both, and for me macroing them together has been most effective.

    Do elaborate the advantages. The disadvantages would obviously be the loss of control of your fairy which leads to the fairy:
    -Overhealing because your Physick is quicker
    -Inability to heal with the fairy while doing other things yourself (off-DPSing or secondary target healing)
    -Recast differences makes your healing irregular - You would expect 700 potency worth while it may only be 400 potency because of recast differences

    You could counter-argue that you could put Embrace on another keybind or hotbar slot. But then why even have it macro'd together? Macroing skills together would mean you're attempting to save hotbar/keybind assignments. Having a macro with Physick+embrace and Embrace on another hotbar slot/keybind is senseless as it just destroys the whole purpose of macroing them together in the first place.

    Edit: Nvm, the macroing is making me crazy. I think I have it working now. Maybe.
    Edit again: I definitely don't. If anyone knows how to make Embrace for target and target's target work in the same macro, I'd love to hear about it. The fairy will default to casting on herself if a party member is selected.
