YOU BROKE SMN....

on the + side conduit is crazy now I run out of mp long before conduit wears off

No it isnt. Astal Conduit is accepting the bp menu spam but isnt executing it 50% of the time, but MP is taken from you without result. Seriously cant they add stuff without testing it properly? To confirm test the amount of bp used in your log and see your mp used...

Ever tried:

/equipset 1 <wait>
/pet "Heavenly Strike" <t>
/wait .5
/equipset 2

.5s used to work with the regular /wait command. When I played Thf back in the aht Urgan days(before we had <wait>s), I would have just a little bit of lag out there partying. If i had a /wait 1 between sneak attaack and a WS it would sometimes not work (I think the WS wouldnt go off if i recall correctly). If i had a /wait 2 it was too long and I would sometimes melee between the two. but a /wait 1.5 worked perfectly. You cant have .5s in the <wait> commands if i remember right. Lemme know if it works!

着替えマクロが間に合わなくなったというご報告を多数いただいております。

調査したところ、
/equipset
を使ったマクロでは、仕様的に最大1.0秒の遅延が発生することが原因でした。

現在開発チームでは、詠唱時間を2.0秒に修正すること検討しています。
（実際は、1/60秒単位で調整できるので、もう少し縮められないか探っているところです）

なるべく早い修正を目指しております。
召喚士の皆様にはご不便をおかけしますが、
修正まで少々お待ちください。

Roughly translated summary, they're going to increase the BP activation time to 2 seconds.

In a world with no situational gear swapping, this would have been a wonderful change. sadly, we need to do that and therefore this is a problem.

And yet, this situational gearswapping is what makes this game so wonderful.
For me.

Unfortunately, I can't agree there. :p
For me, the difference between having everything you need on one piece and carrying half a dozen different pieces for each slot is the amount of inventory space I have free and nothing else. Since gear swaps are just done in line with the macros we'd already make to use our abilities, it doesn't require any additional skill other than knowing how to write that macro. It would almost be better, for the sake of loot collecting, if simply finding that item unlocked its situational effects and you didn't actually need to carry it around and swap it in and out. Then it might be tolerable.

I will give them points at least for putting in a feature that removes the blinking problem.

Greetings, everyone.

The development team is aware of the current issue regarding summoner’s ability to switch out Blood Pact equipment. The following is a message from Producer Matsui about how the team is planning to address this.

We’ve been receiving a lot of reports that equipment swapping macros are not switching gear in and out in time due to the adjustments made to Blood Pact execution times.

After looking into this, we discovered that the cause is a maximum 1 second delay that is generated by macros that utilize “/equipset”.

Currently, the development team is looking into editing the Blood Pact execution time so it is 2 seconds.
(This can actually be adjusted in increments of 1/60th of a second, and we’re trying to see if we can reduce this time a bit more.)

We’re striving to fix this issue as quickly as possible. I apologize to all the summoners out there who are inconvenienced by this, but please wait just a bit until it is fixed.

Since you're dropping PS2/360 support, I suggest you just implement "gear swapping" scripts, that'll fix the issues and more.

Please get them to re-adjust DRG wyvern breaths in a similar way while you're at it.

To be honest I'm not sure why these had to be adjusted at all to begin with.
