    Pet responsiveness, really. I mean trust me; I've tried every macro in the book. /Pac Steady and /Pac Guard. The Ol' /Pac Stay or /Pac Heel. Quite frankly even upon spamming an order, their Embrace will interrupt, but they'll just go right back to casting it and ignore the macro order or order outright. Precious seconds are precious seconds. A lot can happen while I'm standing there like a Star Marmot mashing Fey Illumination and Whispering Dawn.

    Personally i wouldn't use macros and as bad as it sounds accept, that eos loves embrace more than your command. If you do, then you can plan around that most of the time and cast skills like whispering dawn earlier, so when the boss does dmg you have your reggen up and running. I understand this can be annoying, especially when you want to do FC to mitigate dmg and the fairy rather wants to embrace the world than doing what you want her to do and for this reason the fairy needs an QoL change.

    You don't have to hit the fairy skills multiple times, because in most cases* she will queue it and then cast the skill after she is done with embrace. Also keep in mind that your GCD and the fairy GCD are not linked and you can cast skills while activating fairy skills. So for instance you could cast a dmg spell like broil, while you order the fairy to do an skill of her toolkit. No need to stand around

    * She will be really dumb, if you want to activate two fairy skills in a very small timeframe. In those situations you probably have to smash the button to activate the skill. Another reason why she didn't do what you wanted is if she is currently running, because you a) are to far away and b) didnt position her yourself. She will most of the time try to get back to you, before casting embrace. By the way, do not worry about positioning her in HW or stormblood raids, because the fairys can't be hit by 90% of the attacks anymore. This was only a problem in realm reborn content. Nowadays as a rule of thumb, cleave can kill her, but aoe attacks not. This means you could position her in the center of o1s, despite the fireballs you as a player have to avoid now and then. The fairy won't be hit by them.

    I hope this was helpful and as i said, don't use macros, since they make the fairy more unresponsive as she already is and the macro is another reason, you have to smash the fairy skills. If you have further questions pls ask
