This topic comes up all the time, and there's plenty of reading material on the forums, as Lyrica hinted.

Basically these points, though:

- Most ability macros are not as effective in practice as they would appear. It's simpler and less error-prone, for example, just to hit your Fey Illumination separately and then follow with whichever spells the situation calls for.

- Useful macros tend to be those that announce important information to the party upon skill use or those that manage pet behaviors as needed (e.g. a command to Stay prior to using Fey Glow/Light on Selene so that she will execute the buff immediately rather than attempting to queue it or flat out ignoring you just because ain't nobody got time for that).

- Learn to use and love mouseover macros for fairy micromanagement. I used to dislike them, but I rearranged my HUD a little, got rid of my Physick/Adlo+Embrace macros, and found that this method was indeed more flexible when I got used to the change. The combo macros were fine for split healing, but being able to do so without having to commit an Embrace or to click-confirm separate targets is very convenient.
