New to the game and this was a lesson i really enjoyed. However, sometime in these kind of lessons, it can be just as important to "show" and then demonstrate and not just say. It may make the video longer, but it conveys the message clearly when done. Demonstrate the action vs just showing it. But and awesome lesson all the same.

Have a question. In a different MMO, you can set macros as a healer for friendly/hostile ... generic example: /use 'heal spell A' if ; no target /use 'damage ability X' if If there something like this available that isn't setup? That way say, as a WHM you could have your hotbar be cure 1/aero 3. cure 2/aero 4, cure 3/stone 4, regen/holy, benediction/fluid aura, assize/repose, etc etc to reduce ability bar clutter and keep your fingers closer to home row with less modifiers, etc. sending this guide to a friend who was looking into DRK macros and stuff; it inspired me to look up some for myself. Both just came back to game this week.

I have come to realise that over the years the only people who cares about not using macro's are DeePeeSSS purists, I have used macro for years as i'm disabled, I was born with smaller fingers and a slow brain, so my reaction time is out of wack and I can't reach all the keys, if people use macro's they will lose about .4th of a second which is nothing really, Buuuut to get the best out of a rotation is called clipping, which means you can start the next action by pressing it early, the down side of that is you will run out of mp and tp faster, which can be classed as a downside as well. pfft go figure. tnx Brian for the vid, good work. Oh more thing, please try to put in future videos about helping disabled people not just the general players. Subbed my man.

On DPS I always macro ALL my pure damage oGCDs, without a wait or anything in order of importance, so if I press the button between skills I weave in the highest priority ability that is currently not on cooldown or can be used, for example on Ninja this is Trick Attack, Dream Within A Dream, Assassinat, Mug Also for PC I would advice every healer to use mouse over macros for all their targeted heals etc. with this you only have to hover over the name in the party list and press the button to heal, it is the quickest way to do it in case you need to switch targets. That way you can also keep the enemies targeted to see incoming attacks. The line would be something like /ac "Cure" . Also you can leave out on abilities that can only target yourself and on abilities that can only target others.

As one tip on the macros - you don't really need to have a whole separate line for the function. Setting it on the same line as the action you're performing will work just as fine; saves the rest of the lines for more actions (very helpful for crafting macros). I personally only use Swiftrez, provoke, beserk, hallowed ground, crafting, and calling out hunt targets as macros nowadays. I have seen though some people use em towards Stoneskins, protects, spreads for Astro, maybe even a Bard's songs. I would say it's not totally smart to add cheeky liners for some DPS skills (could get quite annoying) - and having multiple lines of funny dialogue in general is gonna bring some annoyance to the party. Otherwise, i did find the vid helpful with some of the macros. wouldn't mind using some for some jobs I've yet to level. good work overall \o/

So true. Even if you think your jokes are the best in the world you could be pissing off your entire raid with text images and silly phrases. It's something to consider. I'm very practical so my macros high light important information like calling out targets or a rez macro. I don't do any goofy stuff or RP macros. But that's just my preference.

With my monk I have basically three macros to use for my rotation, but due to how it's set up i can't do a perfect opener instead of having true strike to finish things off i can only use Bootshine, unless i move my hands super fast, which i can do but i'm too lazy. The sequences of my macros goes likes this. 1st /macroicon "Twin Snakes" /hotbar change 4 /ac "Twin Snakes" 2nd: /macroicon "Bootshine" /hotbar change 5 /ac "Bootshine" 3rd: /macroicon "Snap Punch" /hotbar change 1 /ac "Snap Punch" -or- /macroicon "Demolish" /hotbar change 1 /ac "Demolish" My first macro is on Twin snakes, What it does first is switch my first hotbar into another hot bar, and due to me constantly hammering away at that area, I use twin snakes on that hot bar. Therefor removing that dps loss, setting me up on my second macro, as well as keeping my rhythm of going; side, side, demolish/snap punch and rear, rear, demolish/snap punch, going without me having to removing my hands off my 1 2 3 and 4 key. Unless adding touch of death or fracture. My second macro is on bootshine. Why bootshine? Because since i have set myself up to use twin snake i also set myself up to use my courl stance skill, and due to how my third macro is set up and having everything flow better bootshine is the best decision. Bootshine again switch to another hotbar so it again, sets me up on my rhythm and, basically keeps my hands on my primary keys. My third and final macro is on Snap punch and Demolish. Why both? Well that's the only "manual" thinking that has to be done unless you want 10 hotbars of basically clones... What you gain by setting last macros to these two skills is again same as before, and by pressing the last of the three macros you are set to use the first marco used. The skill bars i have set up are like so, first skill bar Dragon kick, (Macroed) Twin Snakes, Snap Punch, Demolish, Touch of Death, Fracture, and all the OGCDs i use that aren't Blood for Blood, Internal Release and such, such as Elixir Field and Shoulder Tackle. Second Skill bar is my 4th hotbar which is set up as followed: (Macroed)Bootshine, Twin Snakes, Snap Punch, Demolish ect. Third hot bar is my 5th hotbar which is set up as followed: Bootshine, True Strike, (Macroed) Snap Punch, (Macroed) Demolish ect. By using these three macros Keeping the rhythm going is easy. Let's say you start in Coeurl form, so Demolish, then Dragon Kick then, first marco, Twin Snakes. You keep going as though nothing has basically changed since you will still be slamming down on Twin Snakes on the next hotbar you are on. Snap Punch, second marco, Bootshine. Again just keep going. True strike, then, last marco, snap punch. And you are at your first spot you started at. Simply repeat until what ever you are smacking dies. However if you do start without even having being in Opo Opo form, and not applying dragon kick, you will have to, hit bootshine, then hit the one of the coeurl skill, to set yourself up for a dragon kick and i recommend you just keep the flow going there (has to be done at a somewhat decent speed fyi to keep dps up and not use bootshine and use one of the coeurl form skills.) Side note I HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT move skill before change hotbar command due to the fact that at some times the hotbars won't change until skill is used. If you do change the order, you will have to deal with the your hot bars not being able to keep up the speed you are going at.
@TimHisk
7 жыл бұрын
Two important things to consider when stacking skills in a macro. First, the order you put skills in is very important. WTG placed the skills in his examples specifically that way for the result he wanted. For example; a stone macro would always cast Stone 1 if that spell was at the top of the list with 2 & 3 below it. Stone 1 would never fail and force the next command. So be mindful of the order you're placing them into the macro. Second, if you spam or "button mash" skill macros it can cause them to missfire and seems to be worse based on your latency to the server. So even a properly written macro could potentially trigger lower spells/skills in your stack if you're spamming it. ...and as a final note. Please don't use the Fluid Aura example, especially for target of target. Tanks and Melee DPS will HATE you. They might not kick you or give you shit, but trust me.. they will hate you. My personal preference is to only use Fluid Aura to push mobs *toward* the tank. You should never push mobs out of dps or the tanks range. That's honestly a horrifically bad example that promotes bad game play and I was shocked when I saw it in the video.
@Work2Game
7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback and clarification on macro order. Regarding the Fluid Aura however, that is what I use that ability for, to push back to the tank, or off a cliff (in PvP) but it's situational as it requires range. FA will never pop unless the mob is within range. If I stated something incorrectly in the video, or gave the impression it's for pushing mobs away from the tank, I'll see if I can't correct it in the description. :)

On another note overall about Macros, Yoshi-P talked last year about changes to the macro system, which seems to be just related to share macro slots. But hopefully we'll see more improvements to macros in 4.0 since there are some really good things to them, and at the same time, some disadvantages due to the latency, or even not being able to queue the abilities via a macro.

Thanks for clarification on that. Maybe I missed the practical application during the example. It just immediately brought up a red flag and I was concerned others might misinterpret how to use that particular macro. I've seen WHMs Fluid Aura mobs away from tanks or out of AoE and it can be very frustrating.

+Tim Hisk very, and as a tank I wouldn't recommend that for healers, but it's important to put that in as a clarification. And the other side to macros, is in the application of them, how they feel and act is also about how the player does as well, so thanks for pointing that out. :) For me, this is when I've got the tank targeted and if something he is targeting is close to me. The idea being, I'm not running up on him, but something ran up on me, and the tank is trying to pull them over, to which I push them over to the tank :)

Before I start doing extremes and above, I'll be sure to practice without so many macros so I'm not a hindrance.

I have two questions about macros. 1: Can I set it so that a macro only types in chat if it is used? I generally like to spam my keys until the ability gets used (I never trust buffering) but if I apply a chat command to my macro while doing this it spams the chat with that command. For example if I want 'Convalescence' to say "I can *Really* feel your heals now" and I spam the key it will say that 2-5 times in chat which isn't something I want. 2: Can I set it so that a macro'd ability will only be used if my HP is at a certain percentage. For example 'Holmgang' isn't an ability that you want to accidentally fat finger, because if you use it at anything over 50% HP (or even anything over 20% HP) odds are it is going to be a waste of a 180s cooldown.

question please. Having trouble putting a macro together for mana shift and resurrect. How do I show in party the person Im giving mp to or person being resurrected as my focus target is always on the mob. I cycle down my list and apply mana shift or resurrect but its the alternative to that I am looking for. This is one of my macros /macroicon "Mana Shift" /ac "Mana Shift" /p Using "Mana Shift" on ! I know I need a focus target in there maybe and a targetback or something. to focus person then back to mob. Please Help!

I have a question regarding macroing. I like the efficiency of creating them and using them interchangeably within commands. Is there a way to add user macros that interchange user macros to maximize gameplay fluidity? I am not referring to botting but swapping user macros. For instance, I have used macro heavy swing on my R2 + circle where I replaced /chotbar action "over power" 1 14. Which places over power into triangle slot. I would like to make it a user macro though where I can add personal macro for switching after the action. If this is possible, how do I do it to swap in a user macro?

I need help. I have been looking for something exactly like the summon macro in this video, though I'm unsure of how to program it. I am a scholar and want to make it so my summon 1 and summon 2 abilities swap out when I summon a different fairy. I have the four abilities on my 4th hotbar. How would I go about programming these to swap? How do I specify which slots need to be swapped? I see how you have it set up in the video but don't know how to make it work for me.

Hello so I play mainly as bard and I open Foe Requiem right before Raging Strikes. The problem I have with setting this as a macro though is that I want to use Raging Strikes (when cooldown is ready) _directly_ without Foe Requiem in the way. Is there some way I can do about this?

Do you or anyone know if you can add a cooldown or something with your macro. For example Dark Knights Living dead In a party group if I tap it once It will say the quote, and that it's active whatever and the ability is on cooldown timer for a while. But even if on cooldown I can still have the quote of the ability that I set pop up over and over because I accidently spammed the button. Help?

+Biscuit man let me think... off the top of my head I don't think you can say not to do the quote if the ability is not ready... I wish they did have that, but not sure. However if I'm miss understanding, you can always use /echo to communicate something to you. :)

IS FFXIV worth getting into before storm blood comes, i have the base game and heavensward - completed ARR story and started on HW, however i dont know why but i just lost the will to play it - even though i absolutely loved the ARR main story, not sure if i should try it again or whether to wait for stormblood for a fresher experience.
@Work2Game

This is a tough question to answer... if you're feeling burnt out I can't recommend playing through the pain. However, to start into Stormblood, you'll need to have completed the HW story unless they come out with a story skip potion. But that's all up in the air. If you feel up for it, play though the story and try your best to not be burnt out by June. However, I feel if you're excited for SB, having it drop and you having to put extra work into it just to start that, you might run into how you're feeling now... Let me know what you decide. :)

You can just drag and drop the potion onto your hotbar and use it like you would a skill. There's no need for a macro. The hotbar triggers your potion and the items stay in your inventory. The hotbar slot will even display the number of potions you have. So it's very useful.

Well look at the recast time of your ninjutsu and then when you make your macro it has to at least be one second wait time. Then you compare one second to what the wait time is for your Ninjutsu and if you can press it faster than the macro then it might not be worth it 4 overall efficiency
