Cure Macro

Needing help with a command to allow me to do this: Target an enemy to use cure on enemy's target. But also be able to cure an ally with that same macro cure.

Thats probably confusing, so ill write out command

/micon "Cure"
/ac "Cure" <tt>
/ac "Cure" <t>

Problem is, if i highlight an ally, it wont skip the 2nd command line. It instead targets what that ally is targeting, an enemy. Since I end up targeting an enemy, the cure bounces back to me...

is there any macro or sequence of macros that will allow me to heal Enemy's Target as well as an ally (without using /p#) with the same heal?

I'd say switch the two around.

/micon "Cure"
/ac "Cure" <t>
/ac "Cure" <tt>

This way if you have a player targeted it will heal them, but if you have a mob targeted it should skip the first command and fire the 2nd.
Its not the way I have heals set as I use the focus target (usually tank) and mouse over for other heals.. I'll post those commands if you're interested.

Actually, having tested this macro out personally:

/ac "Cure" <t>
/ac "Cure" <tt>

This will fail if your target is a hostile.

If you test the "Cure" spell macro lines individually, they'll all end up healing you if the executed line fails. It does not go on to the second line in the macro. Since this case only happens with the "Cure" spell, I don't know if it was intentional by the devs or not.

So your only reliable macro healing methods are:
/ac "Cure" <mo>
- If you're playing on PC or like to use a cursor on the PS3, this heal macro will do just fine.

/ac "Cure" <f>
- This one heals your focus target. Usually, your tank would be your focus target so you can freely attack any enemy you want and still be able to heal your Tank in one click. I haven't tested this one to see what happens if it fails.

Otherwise your only methods of healing are targeting through your party manually to heal them.

Appreciate the help guys. Ill probably dry DxWings' macro to focus target. Assuming theres a macro to Focus Target first, then /ac "Cure" <f> then ill try that. Other wise, ill probably just /assist using my attacks. Im only using Aero and Stone, so it wouldnt be a big deal adding macros to those.

Another question, though. I have Repose set so it will cast on certain Marked (1,2,3) targets. I understand some people dont mark, Is there a way to cast Repose on an engaged enemy besides the one you are focusing? Or do I stop being lazy and cycle over to a different target?

For Repose, you can use a macro such as this if you'd like.

/ac "Target Forward"
/wait 1
/ac "Repose" <t>

Assuming there's more than one enemy, and you have one of those enemies targeted. This macro will target the next closest enemy onscreen, and cast Repose on it after one second.

You can try taking out the /wait command, I don't think its necessary, haven't personally tested this but it can be a bit glicthy without the /wait command. If you test it, and it runs fine without it, then you can just leave it out to be a little more faster.

You can then also add in a Mark Target command line at the end of this and mark it as one of the Ignores to let your party know not to hit it.

My cure macros go:

/ac "Cure" <mo>
/ac "Cure" <t>
/ac "Cure" <tt>
/ac "Cure" <f>
/ac "Cure" <me>

This will heal whoever I've moused over, followed by my selected target (if a friendly target), my target's target (only applies to enemy target, as a friendly would trigger the <t> macro line), followed by my focus target (shift-f on the tank), followed by me as a last resort. I do the same macro for every healing skill (cures, regen, stoneskin, esuna, etc.).

I really prefer mouseover healing though. I can just put my mouse pointer over the tank's name, target the mob, and alternate between healing/dpsing without ever having to worry about triggering the <tt> part of the macro (which I leave in there in case my mouse moves around).
