Anyone else ever gotten complained at for using a simple Raise macro in PUGs?

[CorbinDallas]

They're annoying in 24 mans when it's some cheesy anime quote or whatever accompanied by a million different sound effects, being spammed because said person doesn't know how to make the macro so that is doesn't spam party chat while they try to be a hero and raise twelve people from other alliances.

Sorry but can anyone put in what you'd have to type to get a simple res macro that says something simple like, 'Raising <t>' please? =)

Edit: Something that says it in party chat, that is ^.^

This is about as simple as they get:

/micon "Raise" action
/ac "Raise" <t>
/p Raising <t>

It doesn't use Swiftcast, and it doesn't do any of the fancy targeting stuff some use. First line just sets the icon to be the same as the Raise spell. Obviously replace Raise in both the first and second line with the name of your specific Raise action.

/micon "Raise"
/ac "Swiftcast"
/wait 0.5
/ac "Raise" <t>
/p Raise >> <t> <se.10>

This is the one I use as WHM... change Raise as necessary. If Swiftcast is down it'll skip it and start raising the target slowly after a half second delay or so.

Never had a complaint about it and the only raise macros I hate personally are the ones that try to be sarcastic or just go on way too long. Action > Target is all I need to know in the middle of the fight, thanks.

/wait 0.5

That's not a real thing.

1) Waits are integer seconds only.
2) Most oGCDs eat 0.7s.

A 0.5s wait will be treated as a 0 or a 1, depending on the mood of the software at the time.

It pauses for me, so it treats it as a 1. I notice it a lot when I'm raising a bunch, though I can't discount my latency either.

Thanks guys! I'll try these out when I'm next in game ^.^

Macros can't queue.
Even ogcd abilities use the queue system.
Raise isn't even an ogcd, it's a spell that'll need to be queued, and usually one you want to go off NOW.

Don't use macros for battle content.

You show me the person who has 1 Button Press Per Action that goes off, and I'll fix it by telling them to mash that !@#%.

I have in eureka. Mine just says raising <t> with no sound effects of anything. I was told it was intrusive and kicked from the group. The group then got obliterated by pazuzu and when the fight ended I just left with everyone else. Karma.
