[SCH] Macro and Targeting Issues

[Tharian]

So I have run into a bit of a problem with my healing macro's on my Scholar. I am playing on a PlayStation 4, and using the Controller. My Macro Syntax is set-up as follows:

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

Now the problem I am having is that when I have the Tank selected as my primary target and I temporarily hop over to a secondary target with my up or down button in order to heal them, the secondary target will receive the effect of Physick, but NOT the effect of Embrace as the targeting reticle will have already switched back to the Tank by the time that the Embrace command is being executed.

Is there a way to make it so that the Embrace will take effect on the last target to have been selected (sort of similar to Final Fantasy XI's <lastst> command?).

Because healing macro <t> will never work
Target a dummy and heal that, you'll understand

I don't think you understood the OP's question.

To which, AFAIK, is no, there's nothing like Last Target.

Isn't it supposed to be like:
/pac embrace eos <t>

thank you, that basically answers my question and confirms my fears. I will have to resign myself to having to hard target anyone I need to cure with both myself and my pet... so bothersome.

There is a "last target" command under the form of <lt> but it feels unwieldy to use compared to it's XI counterpart when I tried to make use of it. Maybe you can find better luck with it than I.

Can find a list of all "placeholder" style tags here. Just click on "placeholder" on the left toolbar.

Yeah, that doesn't really do what I intended. Though it is neat in its own way.

EDIT: so apparently the solution to my problem is to put the Embrace Macro Syntax BEFORE the actual Scholar Healing Spell. This way the Fairy starts casting before I actually execute my own spell, or something to that effect.

Unfortunately, you can't get very creative with healing macros because of the whole monster targeted = self-heal thing. The key is to keep your heals all targeted straight on the target and have your attacks use creative arrangements. There is a URL in my signature to a guide I wrote primarily on faeries, but there is some other stuff with macros in there too.

I just saw that macro and skipped the rest :P Regardless, my point still stands. There's also a command called /targetlasttarget and /previoustarget, which instantly switches your current target to target according to command. But this doesn't help the OP.

Because it takes 0.05-0.1 sec between Physick and Embrace in your macro (16.7-33.3 ms/line). I suppose the following is better.
/pac "Embrace" <t>
/ac "Physick" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <me>
/ac "Physick" <me>
/micon "Physick"

Basically <t> and <tt> can't be combined on the same macro.
Putting "/micon" on the first line is nothing but a waste of time.
