    Here's a great example of a black mage macro book I'd recommend for people who don't want to cheat and want a vanilla in game alternative. IE console players and more importantly, PC players who don't want to suddenly be dead fish in barrel for the first 2 days after a new patch from SE. It's totally worth the work!

    Blm book

    Set 1: The selection set
    Ctrl 1 "Fire": /set 2
    Ctrl 2 "Ice": /set 3
    Ctrl 3 "Wind": /set 4
    Ctrl 4 "Earth" /set 5
    Ctrl 5 "Lightning" /set 6
    Ctrl 6 "Water": /set 7
    Ctrl 7 "Buffs": /set 8
    Ctrl 8 "Debuffs" /set 9

    Sets 2-6
    Ctrl 1 "Element" (IE ctrl 2-1 would be "Fire")
    Ctrl 2 "Element II"
    Ctrl 3 "Element III"
    Ctrl 4 "Element IV"
    Ctrl 5 "Element V"
    Ctrl 6 "Element VI"
    Ctrl 7 "" - I like to leave this blank
    Ctrl 8 "AM"
    Ctrl 9 "AM II"
    Ctrl 0 "Back"
    Alt 1 -Aga (alt 2-1 is Firaga)
    Alt 2 -Aga II
    Alt 3 -Aga III
    Alt 4 - Aja
    Alt 5 - Blank
    Alt 6 -Spikes (IE Alt 3-1 is Fire Spikes)
    Alt 7 - DoT (IE Shock/Choke/Frost etc)
    Alt 8 - Blank
    Alt 9 - Buff (Specifically I put Stoneskin in the stone set, Aqueveil in the water set, Blink in the wind set, etc)
    Alt 0 - Back

    So for example the fire set, Set 2, would be:
    Fire - Fire II - Fire III - Fire IV - Fire V - Fire VI - "" - Flare - Flare II - BACK
    Firaga - Firaga II - Firaga III - Firaja - "" -Fire Spikes - Burn - "" - "" - BACK

    Each spell macro is the following:

    /macro set 1 (this means as soon as I hit a spell, I go right back to the start asap.
    /equipset Precastset# <wait 1> where precastset is the right number
    /ma "SpellName" <wait #> Make sure <wait is the right amount of time so the next line goes off about 2 secs before spell ends.
    /equipset Aftercastset# <wait 3>
    /equipset Idleset#
    /echo <<Ready To Go!>

    And Alt 0 and Ctrl 0 are just the line /macro set 0 to go back to the base set

    This means I can do the following:

    Currently at base set, if not for some odd reason (I messed up before and am fixing mistake) I can hit ctrl 0 to go to it.

    If I want to cast Frost, I would hit Ctrl 2 to go to my Ice macro set, then Alt 6 for the DoT, the same macro also sends me right back to set 1 as well.

    Set 8 and 9, the debuff set, is where I keep poison/bio/slow/bind etc, and Set 9 is my buff set, where I generally put Cures, protectra, etc, depending on the job.

    This will generally completely negate the need for any third party software for doing gearswaps. Its way WAY faster than navigating the magic menu anyways, so its actually better than any third party software you would want to use /anyways/

    So you don't need to cheat AND this works better and cleaner AND it wont break on you whenever SE drops a patch.

    Cheers!

    If you are all curious as to how I set up my dancer macros, feel free to ask. My dancer macros are even dynamic enough that I can swap what my combat Idling sets are between 6 different sets (turtle - defensive - Balanced - accuracy - zerg - mdef)

    Its pretty self explanatory though.

    Ctrl 1 cycles me up a set, alt 1 cycles me down.

    However ctrl 1-1 sends me to set 6, and alt 6-1 sends me to set 1, not set 7. Thus I cycle between 6 sets.

    Each set is identicle otherwise:

    /equipset gearforthedance <wait 1>
    /ja Dance <t> <wait 1>
    /equipset ThisSetsIdleSet

    Thats pretty much it :|

    I have it as such

    Up - HW - CW3 - CW4 - DW - DW2 - QS - BS - SS - FS
    Down - VF - RF - WF - CF - Rudras - HS - DS3 - SD - FD

    HW/CW/DW - Healing/Curing/Divine Waltz
    QS/BS/SS/FS - Steps (all of which have presto macroed in to them, if presto isnt up itll just step without presto)
    VF/RF/WF/CF - Flourishes
    HS/DS - Sambas
    SD/FD - Fan/Saber Dance

    Thats all there is to it

    While they maybe going a little to far in some cases im glad over all.

    Other month someone was telling me about Lua scripts.... wow really?
    Ws for you, engage for you, swap gear for you when engaging, I stopped him there, I didn't want to know more, I did Wonder though, why do people who do this even play the game? if you can call it that..... with these things?

    If you get so little fun that you have to make the game play itself for you, why bother.
