Summoner's Macro Swap

[Texx-sylph]

ok,
now i start having a little more options on my gears and i start thinking about swapping'em during my normal smn duties.
but a big doubt came to my mind..
sorry if the question maybe is old but not for me so....

during e.g. a meritII Blood Pact, i would like to maximize both my magical attack and my BP:delay

if i have 2 items 1 grants me Magical Attack and 1 Bp:delay in the same slot, what's the order to swap'em?

there's a moment when i press my macro...
1 moment with the charge
1 with the land of the attack

does i have to keep bp:delay - during the charge and /wait X
then swap to m.atk when the BP is landed?

or is the opposite?

thanks for this clarification, wsithout this i think i cannot use all the gears in the proper way...

the cool-down is set when the BP is called. Once the avatar is prepping, you can swap in the nuking gear. A 1 second delay between the BP call and gear swap should be good enough.

Bear in mind though that there is a cap on the reduction....you can't go below 45 seconds (-15 in reduction). If you are using a completed magians, you are already at -12 from the staff alone.

so you mean i need to swap my gear before all
THEN
call the bp
/wait 1 sec
then change to nuke set

?

is right?

yeah... if you are using a completed magian, all you need to do is put on something like YY robe first (-12 and -5, capped off at -15), call the BP, /wait 1, then swap in your specific nuking pieces.

What Raist said is spot on, just make two different macro stages. If you feel generous with your inventory, you can also stack up on Enmity- gear, because the master's enmity is also calculated as soon as the command is issued. So the gear choices would look like this:

1. Gear for Enmity down, BP Delay
2. Activate JA
3. Gear for Skill, Pet Attack/Accuracy, Blood Boon, other damage pieces (AF3+2 body for the damage bonus, AF3+2 legs for the TP bonus, etc.)
4. Wait until the BP goes off
5. Change back to Perp/Refresh gear
