SMN pet not responding 100%

[AniCelestine]

The biggest problem is that there is no ability queue for pets. That would solve the unresponsiviness (ditched smn for mnk due to it's unplayable in 2.3 and haven't missed that abomination at all.

I macro contagion to make three attempts at 1 second intervals so that one of them will catch her in between casts.

/micon "Contagion" pet
/pac "Contagion" <t>
/wait
/pac "Contagion" <t>
/wait
/pac "Contagion" <t>

/micon "Contagion" pet
/pac "Contagion" <t>
/wait
/pac "Contagion" <t>
/wait
/pac "Contagion" <t>

It would be better just to have a full 14 lines of
/pac Contagion <t>

Each press effectively gives you 1/4 - 1/2 second of spamming it.

They fixed that a long time ago. Sometime either at or shortly after the release of Heavensward. I was the one who first spread around the macro with multiple wait lines someone else posted up here. I've ditched it and just use the regular action with no macro now. Been doing it for a while. Haven't messed with SMN a lot in 3.2 yet, so not sure if it is all working right in the current patch.

Note: technically the fix was that if your pet automatically started casting something, then you could queue an ability for afterwards. If you had manually commanded the pet to cast (e.g. Embrace spam), then the queue doesn't work. Since manual spamming of Wind Blade isn't a thing, Garuda was effectively fixed. Eos was hit and miss, so I kept my macros for her.
