    As a PS4 player I'd advise against macros. To my knowledge there are no two skills in healing that you'd macro together that you wouldn't also want separately on your crossbars, meaning they don't save space. Macros in this game are clunky and require too much waiting, meaning they slow you down, and aren't as reliable as the base skills.

    The two macros I use in healing are 1) Swiftcast > Rez—which isn't ideal, it's slower and requires me to stare at my target until they get the rez buff, because if I'm reckless and swap targets too soon it won't activate. Not gonna lie, I use it for the novelty of being able to put something in chat when I Rez, but that necessary hesitation has killed tanks before. 2) I macro Disable or Virus so that it can hit either my target or the target of my target. This is the only practical healing macro I've seen. It's great for quickly nerfing the boss on a tank buster while you shield and heal the tank

    Edit: also the above hatred for swiftcast > Stoneskin II is silly. If the <60 seconds into your pull is truly hindered by your brief lack of Swiftcast then you have bigger problems. Also, a party should be willing to wait for its members if necessary. But a skilled healer/tank shouldn't require his or her party to wait on them.
