Down with Gear Swapping!

[Morgantisthedon]

The only time blinking is a problem is realy in ballista and brenner atm. The use of allaince commands or party heal macros or with targets name in it avoids this. In there it causes a unfair advantage of you losing your target. But that asside I would like to say macro swapping opens up the dynamics of this game you can get as complex as simple as you want on something. Wearing a universal outfit if you are lazy also works. Or get in as much depth with a character as you want ... Lets take mnk for example
A macro for haste tp build ~all your +store tp and haste gear
A macro for str gear swap for wpn skill
a macro for chakra including ~vit and af body etc
a macro for chi blast~ all mnd af relic and stuff to boost this
etc etc
each item you have that raises a specific job ability stacked with other gear is situationaly able to be swaped in for its effect. To remove the depth a player wants to get into a specfic job would ruin alot of my play. I personaly enjoy seeing what al I can add to where and get the most out of something I want to do. If you dont want to swap gear then just wear a universal gear selection that works for you. The dynamics of swaping in and or out stuff for every job has some pros . It's just ;lugging all the equipment around with you and the time you have to devote to collect stuff for it and make macros for that players dont like.

I agree it adds to the depth of game-play Morgan. But it's a clunky system that needs refinement.
