Please fix /equipset usage for precast fast cast sets

[larrymc]

There has been discussion of a desire to have /wait .1 or <wait .1> that actually works - and this was rejected by SE development. However the main reason (I believe) this requests exists is because of a broken mechanic in the /equip and /equipset system.

We want to have the simple ability to do this in a FFXI macro:

/equipset # <this is my fastcast set>
/ma "some spells"
/equipset # <this is my matt/mab set>

without trying to figure out the proper <wait #> for line 2. (Whatever number is selected only seems to work 50% of the time, and never in high lag scenarios).
The above lines should simply work as-is without generating an error as they currently do. And no wait should be required - the intent is clear.

If it is a timing issue where the next line of equipset does not fire fast enough - please introduce this syntax for all commands:

/ma "spell name" <equipset 3>

This will enable the JA or magic spell to be fired in the desired equipset and all that information can be sent to the server at once.

I would really like to be able to do this!

I believe this request was rejected because of the ol' "server stress" excuse. I love /equipsets but ive long suspected it wasnt changing my gear properly 100% of the time...its especially noticable magic bursting on BLM when the first one does 70k damage then on the next skillchain you MB for like 12k damage...something definitely needs to be done about it.
