Back when I first discovered this they couldn't be executed at the same time as they wouldn't work properly and Stay was outright broken on Selene (she couldn't cast Silent Dusk while in Stay, even if I dropped her right beside the enemy) so I had to use Obey to break her casts. However the patch where they revamped the fairy behaviour changed how the pet orders work; Like Obey no longer breaks castings, Stay no longer borks Silent Dusk, Heel can break casts just as easily as Stay now (heel would only break casts when she was at a distance, if she was behind you it would do nothing) and the biggest change, orders are now near instant relative to the fairy's moves. I'm not 100% sure what they changed but my guess is that they moved the pet orders client side (which might explain why Sic is now completely locked out) in an attempt to make her more responsive. Basically, you probably noticed how when ya click a fairy skill they take their sweet time in casting it? Well when ya click these macro's that delay acts as a pseudo /wait in-between the Order and Skill which makes these work 99% of the time now I find.

Pretty much!
