    I was on the PS4 beta this weekend and decided to do my macros from new and try to do the macro your talking about, By doing the macro the other way round i was able to heal me and my pet separately with the one macro, I tried it in Crystal Tower and seemed to work there also. I don't know if this only works on PS4 as i haven't tested it on PS3 but it may be worth a try. It was something like this
    /macroicon "Physick"
    /ac "Physick" <t>
    /ac "Embrace" <t>

    Finally someone understands lol.

    Really? By the way macros work for consoles that shouldn't work. <t> is your highlighted target as of now and if there isn't one it defaults to your selected target. If that actually works then my thread would now become about explaining why that works lol.

    Individual macro lines have the same effect as raw abilities cast on their end targets. When you cast one of your own spells (e.g. Physick) on your highlighted target, you lose the highlight and go back to your selected target. This doesn't happen with pet abilities. So when you have Physick as the first line, it casts on your highlighted target, then drops the highlight, leaving Embrace to cast on your selected target. When you have Embrace as the first line, it casts Embrace on the highlighted target, but doesn't drop the highlight, so Physick casts on the still highlighted target.
