Suggestion: Automatically use available name/brand in macros

It would be nice if I didn't have to change my macros or all the time because I switch to a different class.

This is kinda possible & will update this post soon explaining how, there is a disadvantage in doing it though

Example

This is a 22 step rotation for 1* 70 Dur crafts & can have 30 lines in total before requiring a 3rd button

Below is a modified version of the above so that you can have 3 of the brands in the macro. You could add more brands but you'd go into 3 buttons then which is probably not ideal. Even if this doesn't help out I gave it a try & if anyone else can improve on it then thanks.

/ac "Comfort Zone" <wait.2>
/ac "Inner Quiet" <wait.2>
/ac "Name of the Wind" <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Earth" <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Fire" <wait.2>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <wait.2>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not II" <wait.2>
/ac "Brand of Wind" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Wind"<wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <wait.3>
/echo Macro #1 complete <se.1>

/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <wait.2>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <wait.3>
/echo Macro #2 complete <se.1>

So this macro would work with any class that has either the wind, fire or earth brand skills & it doesn't make the macro take longer as if a skill isn't available it won't execute the wait timer associated with that line of cose

At worst you can do 6 macro for each brand
If it's a 2 macro rotation the end should be the same regardless of the element, right ?

Or put the 6 élément in a single macro but that would extend the number of macro used for a rotation...

When all you need is nq, this universal macro is good for the 1* 35 durability mats such as cloud cloth etc

/merror off
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Earth" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Fire" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Ice" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Lightning" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Water" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Name of the Wind" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Steady Hand" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Ice" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Lightning" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Water" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Wind" <me> <wait.3>

I know this possibility exists but the macros I want to use it in are usually 15step or 20-30 step macros where I can't really do 6 more lines.

I don't think they'll change this unfortunately. They could if they added a new skill which was (apply available Brand) and (apply available Brand buff). But I don't see it getting any development time.

Likewise I think they would also need to improve the accuracy of brand to 100% for it to ever get use in my rotations ;-/

A new skill would be perfectly fine imo and an "easy" solution.

Brand being 100% would be pretty overpowered imo. It's already really good for anything below 1star. Especially some 1 button macros are possible due to name/brand.

this macro combining all brands/names is totally magnificient. Thumb up +++

You got the order wrong.

/ac "Name of Earth" <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Wind" <wait.2>
/ac "Name of Fire" <wait.2>

And so on.

Doesn't matter what order they're in. If the action can't be performed then it'll skip that line of code including the wait timer.
I could copy paste that code for e.g. a 1* lvl 60 70 Dur CRP item & it'll also work but instead of the fire brands being used the wind brands will be used instead.

--------------------------------------

/ac "Brand of Wind" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Wind"<wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <wait.3>

The above would work exactly the same as the macro below

/ac "Brand of Wind" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Wind"<wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Earth" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of Fire" <wait.3>
