How to macro Summoner Pets?

Common issue amongst pet users, especially Arcanists, is that /ac "Sic" <t> does NOT work any longer. So how do we tell our pets to attack targets now without aggroing the mob first? It's essentially for mid-fight aggro reassignment to deal with adds.


Cheers

I use 2 step macros

1. keymaps>assistme
2. hotkey ingame for sic + round robin so I can get all 4 summons on different targets if needed

pet heals
1.f9<ingame hotkey for target your own pet
2.cure/phy

I have the sustain in the combat rotation so don't have to worry about that to much just burst damage fixed with cure/phy

also nice to make a hotkey for "Heel" for your pets to get them off a target
and for the assist keymap make another and sub out sic for Obey so they don't use aoe skills and such

You didn't read my OP at all friend, please re-read. You CANNOT macro Sic or Heel currently, or at least you cannot with known methods from beta. I was asking what they were now.

It's well-known that the pet macro stuff is not working at the moment and I'd assume that SE is going to bring it back, but gnetcham just told you how he does it through Mapped Keys and in-game key bindings.
