Do note that when your fairies embracing you cannot use her skills, if you set it to <wait.3> there will be no room for you to "queue" up other skills which in turn make the macro rather useless (or harmful).
    Really? Because when I did it every other embrace just didn't go off, and I'd get an error message to pop up which was quite annoying (though I think I can turn error messages off I've never had to).

    That particular macro is only supposed to fire every other embrace.

    Timeline, beginning from macro use:
    1. Fairy begins casting Embrace.
    2. -
    3. Macro errors--fairy is still casting.
    4. Fairy finishes casting -- you may manually fire a fairy ability here.
    5. Fairy begins casting Embrace.
    6. -
    7. Macro errors--fairy is still casting.
    8. Fairy finishes casting -- you may manually fire a fairy ability here.
    9. Fairy begins casting Embrace.

    So really, you could just set the waits to 4s and get twice as many autoembraces out of it, but one thing that the 2s wait version gives you is the ability for it to pick up sooner if you do manually insert an ability.
    1. Fairy begins casting Embrace.
    2. -
    3. Macro errors--fairy is still casting Embrace.
    4. Fairy finishes casting Embrace. You may manually fire a fairy ability here.
    5. Fairy begins casting Embrace.
    6. -
    7. Macro errors--fairy is still casting Embrace.
    8. Fairy finishes casting Embrace. You manually fire Whispering Dawn.
    9. Macro errors--fairy is still casting Whispering Dawn
    10. Fairy finishes casting Whispering Dawn
    11. Fairy begins casting Embrace.

    If you use 4s waits instead, the next Embrace will be at 13 instead of 11.
