/equip Cure clogs and junk
/ma "Cure IV" <stpt>
/wait 1
/equip Potency/-Enmity feet and junk

<st> tags will wait until you confirm a target before processing the rest of the macro. <t> works in this case too, but what Whm still uses <t> etc etc.

dont forget they changed a few thigns, so now you can do it this way....

/equip "your cure stuff"
/ma "Cure III" <stpt> <wait 1>
/equip "Potency and/or -enmity stuff"

Hmm.. This is all very nice and that, but people sacrifice all of their accuracy gear for haste.
You need a combination, people! 25% haste means nothing if you can't hit the mob. See if you can get at least +25 accuracy into your TP gear as well.

This is rather meaningless these days. Combat skills and level correction have risen to the point where it's incredibly easy to cap accuracy on anything in the game without gearing for it. You also gain much more switching from Meat to Pizza+1 to cover your accuracy than ever tossing a single point of Haste.

Still, I'm glad this thread was bumped. The OP is incredibly good to have around and I hope more people read it.

Haste, havent you heard it takes time to proc?

Oh come now Rog, you know we could outline the situational advantages of meat, pizza, accuracy, and haste all day and all people would look for in it is a single rule of thumb to use till the servers shut down :(. Anyone who knows better already knows better, those who don't but want to know would ask elsewhere.

interesting point where you compare DA to haste... that had not occurred to me..

now if only i could find a haste build for rdm that didn't suck...

In fact, 75 atk should always beat 1 haste, assuming acc is capped in either build.

Using RCB? D'oh. I knew something was off. I was looking at Pizza+1 vs YCB, idk why. Total brain fart.

I like pizza, Steve.
