How to get faerie out of free stance?

[Kellogs4toniee]

Cant manually have my pet embrace right now, because it says it is in free stance. How do you get your faerie out of free stance?

I'm having this issue as well. tried messing with other stances on the fly while in WP (getting us all killed while looking at my action list lol) and still couldn't cast manually. Putting her on obey or steady only seems to prevent her from casting on her own.

You have to target a mob to change stance. Target a mob -> Steady -> Obey -> Resume as per normal.

you have to also be in combat to obey the mob... such a pointless and convoluted system. all we needed was macros and now we get 3 extra steps we have to do in order to do our jobs. what happens when that mob dies or a boss becomes untargetable? are we going to be required to do this every single time one of these situations occurs? thats a lot of stuff to deal with in a game where turning off cleric stance is an ordeal in and of itself. after 12 years square still has no idea how to do pet jobs.

*EDIT* Just messed with it, it seems obey stays on after you choose it so at least we don't have to deal with that.. this is going to take some getting used to.

Having to click Obey every time is such a nuisance! Not particularly terrible but at the same time it's extra button presses when I could be healing/casting!

Just so you guys know, this isn't a bug, but actually a bug fix. The English patch notes just haven't been updated yet.

If you ask me, this feature was better off bugged.

Rather than targeting the mob, just target tank and use macro:

/pac "Obey" <tt>
/pac "Embrace" <t>

I'm not in game, so can't really test it. Would this macro ensure that you're always able to force heal your targeted party member (unless you are beginning battle and the target hasn't targeted anything).
Thoughts?

[Swear_Bear]

is there a macro for "Place"? or am I just doing it wrong?

/pac "Place" <me>

It's probably similar to SS. But out of curiosity, why create a macro? Just put the skill on your hotbar.

I only wanted a macro so that I can immediately follow it up with obey/steady using a single button. I like to do anything that makes setting up easier, so I can focus on healing more -- even if it's a 1sec/1 click difference. :P
