Misc. Macros not related to equip change
•Use /echo! I can't tell you how many times I have blacklisted a party member for spamming party chat up with frequent "talking" macros. You summoners are the worst. Keep that ritual chanting inside your own log, please! I don't understand, my SMN is only lvl2.
~You know I love you guys, I merely jest ;P~

Echo Example:

Provoke
/ja Provoke <t>
/wait 30
/echo Provoke's ready!

Using echo allows you to put text into your own log, no one else's. This is convenient for frequently-used macros and useful for seeing when your job ability is ready for use again.

•Ever try to buff your party all at once to save MP (and time), but they scatter in a way so infuriating that you can't tag them all from any given position? Fear no more with this macro!

Buffga
/p {Gather Together.} {Protectra} & {Shellra}
/target <st>
/ma "Shellra V" <me>
/wait 8
/ma "Protectra IV" <me>

As long as your party can read, they should gather to you for their buffs. The <st> is so that you can wait until you see your party around you before actually casting the first spell.

•Pet jobs have the choice of several different pets. Summoners in particular might find this macro attractive as it allows you to put several different pet abilities in the same macro, saving other macro space.

RagePact
/pet "Predator Claws" <t>
/pet "Rush" <t>
/pet "Chaotic Strike" <t>

Just add the most damaging of the abilities into this macro (one for each pet) so that no matter which companion you have out, it will attack with its most effective pact.
