Does anyone have s SCH DPS Macro?

Does anyone have a macro for Dpsing as SCH? It takes me too much time to activatr Cleric stance,DOT enemies and switch out. (I'm on ps3)

You should activate cleric stance as normal, only cos it is situational and sometimes you may activate it with a macro when you dont want it to.. but this is my dot macro:

/micon "Virus"
/ac Virus <t>
/ac Virus <tt>
/wait 1
/ac Bio <t>
/ac Bio <tt>
/wait 2
/ac Miasma <t>
/ac Miasma <tt>
/wait 3
/ac "Bio II" <t>
/ac "Bio II" <tt>

<t> is for when you are targetting a mob, good for soloing of if you group is sturdy and you dont have to target your tank constantly.
<tt> is "target of target" therefore if you are targetting your tank it will ignore <t> and shoot at his target instead.

I also have <tt>'d :

/micon "Ruin II"
/ac "Ruin II" <t>
/ac "Ruin II" <tt>

and:

/micon "Energy Drain"
/ac "Energy Drain" <t>
/ac "Energy Drain" <tt>

What would be the macro line to deactivate Cleric stance?

activate and deactivate it manually.. if you really wanted it though you can do this:

/micon "Virus"
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/wait 1
/ac Virus <t>
/ac Virus <tt>
/wait 1
/ac Bio <t>
/ac Bio <tt>
/wait 2
/ac Miasma <t>
/ac Miasma <tt>
/wait 3
/ac "Bio II" <t>
/ac "Bio II" <tt>
/wait 3
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>

I haven't tested the wait times but i believe Cleric stance is on the GCD while Virus isn't so the wait 1 should be enough to cleric stance and then virus and then the next wait 1 is enough for the full GCD between Cleric Stance and Bio (not tested)

at the end i have put /wait 3.. Bio II's cast time is 2.5 seconds, that is the reason for this..

edit:

you need wait times to make everything fire off with one button press.. if you don't include wait times a macro will go through the list in order and use whatever is available.. and so if you put no wait times in at all and just tap it, it would activate Cleric Stance, shoot virus, shoot bio, deactivate cleric stance, shoot bio, activate cleric stance.. hope that made sense

edit2:

/wait doesn't work in decimal places.. you see some people using /wait 2.5 and i have even seen 2.6! o.O .. it rounds up to the nearest whole number

What this pretty much do is turn your cleric stance on to maximize the damage output then it run through the dots and then bane them to other mobs, then it turn off your cleric stance so that you can maximize your healing when you go back to healing.

/micon "Bane"
/ac "cleric stance" <me>
/wait 1
/ac Aetherflow <me> (this is optional, but i find it better to manage your own aetherflow usage)
/ac "Bio II" <t>
/wait 3
/ac "Miasma" <t>
/wait 3
/ac Bio <t>
/wait 1
/ac bane <t>
/wait 1
/ac "cleric stance" <me>

you can tweek this macro a few different ways but i guess the main objective is to maximize dps with cleric stance on, than turn it off to maximize healing. There is a small draw back to this macro though. once you interrupt it in any way such as moving the cleric stance may stay on.

some other useful macro that i have is:
instant summon
/micon summon
/ac swiftcast <me>
/wait 1
/ac summon <me>
___________

/micon "summon II"
/ac swiftcast <me>
/wait 1
/ac "summon II" <me>

instant protect
/micon protect
/ac swiftcast <me>
/wait 1
/ac protect <me>
/p protect buff casted (optional)

instant resurrection
/micon resurrection
/p casting resurrection on <t> (optional)
/ac swiftcast <me>
/wait 1
/ac resurrection <t>
/p resurrection casted on <t> (optional)

i would strip this one down to this:

/micon "Resurrection"
/ac Swiftcast <me>
/ac Resurrection <t>

the reason being, i used to use /wait 1 on my raise macro, but:

1- in laggy fights like Garuda and Titan i found on quite a number of occassions the raise didn't fire off and (because you are busy healing) your swiftcast get burnt on a cure
2- this one if for gamepad users (which i believe the OP is) swiftcast uses a target on the subtarget system.. so say you have tank selected for healing.. someone dies, you cycle through the list to the dead person using subtarget and hit the macro.. it will swiftcast then your target will snap back to the tank and it will try to raise the tank lol.. and then your swiftcast gets burnt on a cure.
and
3- if swiftcast is on cooldown there is a one second delay between when you press the macro and when you start raising which is a little irritating.

cont..


having no wait time means you just tap the button once for swiftcast and then when you tap it again it will raise.. if you tap it when swiftcast is on cooldown it will just go straight to raise
