How Gear Swapping Works: Simple Macros for the Simple Minded

[Alymorel]

Here's something you might want to include that I didn't see in the guide.
/echo (Your text here)

/echo displays a message that only you can see in yellowish text. Why is it useful? To tell yourself that a gear and/or macro swap has been completed. Although it takes up a macro line it can be very convenient in letting you know that you've completed a sequence of gear swaps (if you stack your gear swap macros on the same button on different sets and have to press that button 2 or 3 times to finish the swap, for example).

Or, if you use multiple macro sets for one job depending on the situation and often switch between them. I use an entire book of macros on BLM alone. I have all the sets linked via a macro and gear swap set, with /echo messages like "ELEMENTAL AGA3/JA" or "ELEMENTAL IV/V" so I know when I've switched to the set containing all of those spells.

Yes, yes yes yes yes yes. It also helps other people in your pt when they don't have to see all that info about your macros and timers. It clutters the chat log and confuses some others as to when their own timers and such are up. It's a great line for those who put text into pt chat that would be better suited for just you. Switch it up guys ^^
