3/ /equipset duration

now if clicking the target for <stal> is done too quickly ie hitting enter after macro to select self the 3rd line will not activate and will error out, causing the duration gear to not be equipped.

now this can be solved by putting a <wait .5> in line 2.

Macro lines 1-6
1) /equipset fastcast
2) /ma "Mage's Ballad III" <stal> <wait .5>
3/ /equipset duration

BUT a 3rd situation arises when using Nightingale / Troubadour when having 5/5 Nightingale merits. Specifically cases where Nightingale is used, but normally both are used at same time.

Because 5/5 Nightingale causes songs to be instacast the macro with or without the <wait .5> is too slow, which does not allow the duration gear to be equipped before the song goes off.

The 2 solutions I can see atm are:
1) 1 specific macro for precast and changing all macros to
1) /ma "Mage's Ballad III" <stal>
2) /equipset Duration
2) Making a complete macro set just for when SV / Nightingale / Troubadour.

Neither case is ideal, so is there any way you (SE) can speed up the equipment swap times for /equipset? This would help alot as the purpose of the /equipset was to speed up swapping multiple gear.

After some test I came up with a possible solution to the Gear set error thing.....don't use double Gear set for anything you'd swap in a very short mount of time.

For example, swapping from melee TP to WS set takes longer because you need time to get TP. However, swapping from WS to TP is instant because you'd want to swap back to TP set right after WS.

So if both WS and TP set has Gear set, you probably won't get error from WS, but when you swap back to TP set, there's a good chance that you may stuck in WS set and ended up TP in WS sets.

It probably wouldn't be an issue if one of your sets is Gear set 1 click and another set is using default macro with 2 clicks.

For preshot/midshot sets for /ra, don't use Gear sets for both, there's a very good chance that you'd shoot in preshot set under snapshot buff, even if you click the gear set 3 times. After I change mid shot set to default 2 click macro I no longer ended up stuck in preshot set.

Same can apply to mage precast/mid cast I think, only use Gear set for one of precast/mid cast, but not both. I think the error happens when you're changing 2 different Gear sets in a very short amount of time, since the game may be reading the 1st gear set while you click the 2nd gear set, you get an error msg.
