Down with Gear Swapping!

[Greatguardian]

Unless they changed it, you have to hit F1, F2, F3, etc before using <stal> or <stpt>. It's the reason I've stuck with <stpc>. But I also don't bitch about people swapping gear.

I believe it's more the default is set to whoever you have targeted, like stpc. You can target someone, then hit the stpt macro, and the cursor will be on them. Or you can just hit the stpt macro and scroll up/down the party list from whoever you had targeted to the person you want to cure. I don't use them either, personally, but I'm quick with my function keys and I've never had an issue with target loss, despite working with some Christmas Tree Plds/DDs over the years. I still highly recommend stpt/stal.

I use other ways of coping with gear swapping. And the scrolling up and down has always been available with compact keyboard.

If you have <stal> or <stpt> in a macro, you do not need a current target selected. Using either in a macro allows you to select a character via the party list on the right side of the screen using Up/Down and does not move your target cursor. Whereas the <stpc> and <stnpc> commands require you to tab around to find your target.

Thanks for the answers. I'll fiddle with <stal> after the servers come up. It'll give me something to do while I AFK directly on top of Joachim.

I don't know if you were really getting talked down to. It's more of a jab at SE for not implementing something that some 3rd party has been able to figure out, but for some reason SE hasn't. Clearly SE values your ability to filter superfluous messages from your chat log. This just happens to be one case where they haven't.

No trust me, i was getting talked down. I was being compared to someone who was too stupid to use chat filters so he could stun effectively or something.... it was deffinitely a condescending retort at my expense lol

Not to say i'm never a worthy target for such a comment, but in this instance - considering i would have to resort to illegal activity and risk being banned, i think it was an unfair jab

The only good thing about this thread is the whms that learned about a new way to heal. That being said everyone who actually replied to this thread with a serious intent to voice there opinion is an idiot.

So let me get this straight. You are calling people who participated in this thread an idiot while you yourself are posting in it. Think about that then ask yourself who the real idiot is

You can still scroll up and down with <stpc>. You need to set certain keys in compact keyboard mode though. It's what I used. I tried both and I actually prefer <stpc>. Like I said though, I have ways of coping with gear swapping.

He said serious intent. Anyone who came in to talk down about gear swapping, or to try and defend gear swapping in a serious manner got wooshed really really hard by the OP.

I should have said "with a serious intent to voice there opinion about gear swapping". I'll call myself an idiot I don't mind, but it is quit obvious when Nid, RichardNixon or any other troll on this site posts a thread about something incredibly troll worthy and over 100 people are dumb enough to reply to it like it is real. People need to wake up.
