in 8 mans <3> will be the second tank DPS start at 5
Party order with default sort
<1> you
<2> tank
<3> tank
<4> healer
<5> DPS (Second healer if your DPS)
<6> DPS
<7> DPS
<8> DPS

For light parties
<1> You
<2> Tank
<3> DPS (Healer if DPS)
<4> DPS

I'll share my pre battle macro. This is from memory so might be slightly off but it will cast stoneskin on everyone and then protect. Very useful after a wipe in Coil

/ac "Stoneskin" <1> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <2> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <3> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <4> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <5> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <6> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <7> <wait.3>
/ac "Stoneskin" <8> <wait.3>
/ac "Protect" <me>

3.) there is no reason to do /psort any more since as of 2.2.8 it is auto sorted when you go into a duty.

The wait thing works for me since it's the only wait macro I use.
And I stopped with the /p on a macro because it tends to be spammy so I what I do is just tell the other healer I'll raise the first one then he can grab the second dead one or like silence management with bards.
And you still have to /psort if let's say a tank leaves and another one joins the new tank is number 8. To be honest it's just a nice habit to have.

Yonko, your pre-battle macro is identical to mine except I cast protect then stoneskin. It's invaluable, but I can't tell you how many times people rush out of range before I can get stoneskin on them (or maybe it doesn't cross their minds), so I figure I get protect on them immediately as soon as the lasso (or whatever that circle is called) drops away. Yeah, I didn't go into the 8 party macro only because the WHM I have is only LVL 43, so no 8's for me yet. That said, I'm working on it. I need more buttons on my PS4 controller interface. LOL.

Yonko, the statement about /psort being unnecessary is not entirely true, because if your tank drops for any reason (DC, needs to leave, is an A-hole), and you get a replacement, the replacement goes to the bottom of the list. Found that out the hard way. Luckily, I have a bluetooth Apple keyboard connected to the PS4, so I quickly typed /psort and once it's done, it's done. /psort puts things right with the world. Since it's a macro, the time delay on it is milliseconds or microseconds, so no skin off my nose and no detriment to the party.
