Just use target assist on you controller. Then you can bypass any dps macros.

1. As a PS4 player, my 32 crossbar slots are too precious to use one on a command like this when I can get equal or better results through attack macros.

2. This is functionally no better than doing attack macros with <t> and <tt>. What happens if your tank is rotating targets? You can't reliably place all 3 dots and bane on the same guy with assist. That is why I have <f> built into my attack macros.

The fairy has her own target so once the MT is below 80% she will deselect her target and heal herself or the scholar instead when tt and t macros are used. Check parses for overheal while doing content and you'll see this. In most content it doesn't matter but when doing heal intensive fights you are wasting fairy global cooldowns where she embraces herself instead of a low hp raid member increasing the need for aoe heals the fairy could otherwise manage on her own by single targeting.

The idea of the faerie having her own target is intriguing, but probably too unpredictable to work with as she will switch whenever she auto-heals someone.

I agree with you 100% that faerie self-heals should be avoided and that using <t> and <tt> on healing macros is a horrible idea. That is why I don't use <tt> on any of my healing macros. Every healing ability I have is set up to target on my main target so there is never any confusion or errors. I have t, f, and tt on my attacks so I can use those without switching off the tank.
