Hi! please post your healing MACROS =)

Hi there, I have some of my favorites on my WHM...

/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Raise" <t>

Really helpful if you have THM leveled to 26 and take swiftcast as a crossclass skill. Its a 1 minute cooldown instant in-combat raise.

/ac "Divine Seal" <me><wait.1>
/ac "Medica II" <me><wait.3>
/ac "Regen" <t>

Useful if you like to proc a divine seal before casting medica 2 followed with a regen on your target. Alternatively swap regen for cure I/cure II.

/p Searing wind on <me>! <se.9><wait.3>
/p Eruption(s) incoming! <se.1>

Very useful during Ifrit EX for alerting the party that you have the Searing Wind debuff, and want a timer on the following eruptions. Usefull for any healer (WHM or SCH).

Here you go. Check the comments for the copiable version.

Thank you for the reply! just wondering.. how can we put the red and green curved thingy?

/ac "Repose" <mo>
/p casting sleep on <mo>
Very useful in questing and low level dungeons.

/ac "Revive/etc" <t>
/p reviving <t> <se.9>
So people dont sleep.

/ac "Surecast" <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Medica II" <me>
No interruption for biggest aoe heal.

/ac "Regen" <me>
Fastest regen cast ever. Can replace with cure 2 for higher level content.

/ac "Stoneskin" <mo>
Stoneskin buff.

/ac "Rouse" <me>
/pac "Whispering Dawn" <me>
Huge aoe heal, can combine with fei illimunation.

That's the auto translate function. Start typing the name of an ability and press tab (For example, Type: Divi[tab]) then select Divine Seal from the list. The game will translate the ability into the right language for all other users clients. It's an effective way to communicate with the Japanese players, for example. The red and green brackets are there to show which words are being autotranslated.

It's also useful for making sure you're spelling the abilities correctly in your macros! (Took me forever to spell Adloquium correctly, and I'm still not even sure that's right ;) )

The only one I've used so far, which is about almost the only macro I ever use so far:

/ac Repose
/mk bind

Only because DF groups don't know what they're doing. At least, a lot don't. I can't believe how much this actually helps get through a dungeon.

To be clear, /mk bind will cycle through the "target to bind" marks. so I can go through 1-3 with only one button.

/ac Lalafell Moustache <everyone>
/logout

winning.

People have already posted most of the other good healer macros (WHM)
And honestly, WHM don't need macros outside of notifications and swiftraise.

I know healers don't focus on much dps, but for times when I don't have much going on I like to help. I usually always focus on tank, so I'll add in some DoTs or virus without changing targets.

/ac "aero" <tt>

or

/ac "aero II" <tt>

or

/ac "virus" <tt>

off the top of my head:

Embrace:
/pac "Embrace" <t>
--works for both Eos and Selene.

Virus:
/ac "Virus" <f>
/ac "Virus" <tt>
--good for quick virus cast without having to retarget individually (Twinny AP, for example)

Bio/Bio2/Miasma/Bane/Ruin/Ruin II
/ac "[Insert one of above]" <t>
/ac "[insert one of above]" <tt>
/pac "Embrace" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <2>
--use this for DPSing as SCH. nice to have in 4 man dungeons. just be sure to have your tank in pos 2

Cure 3
/ac "Cure III" <me>
--I have found it's much easier and faster for me to position myself for C3 in between Titan, Ifrit, etc. (the times I actually WHM) than it is to pick a pt member.

Not sure what your talking about...

=P This is just the default size. Try holding the CTRL key and rolling up your middle mouse button.

I forgot one, and can't believe I did. One of the most "memorable" macros ever!

/ac "Shroud of Saints" <me><wait.60>
/echo Shroud of Saints up in 120 seconds! <se.9><wait.60>
/echo Shroud of Saints up in 60 seconds! <se.9><wait.30>
/echo Shroud of Saints up in 30 seconds! <se.9><wait.30>
/echo Shroud of Saints is up! Use it you ****! <se.4><se.4>

Very helpful if you're forgetful of your Shroud of Saints cooldown. This doesn't use party chat, and instead uses the Echo function (basically sending yourself a tell!) which works with /echo and /e.

caveat: this would be your only macro as any other macro used during that 3 minute period will interrupt this one.

Oh that explains why the echo never worked for aetherflow reminders. I always thought that they only worked outside of combat.

True, but as a WHM, what other macros am I going to use? The only other really "useful" one I've found was a cure 3 targetting myself rather than any other party member, because people know to stack on WHM in the more difficult parts. My benediction <t> macro was broken back in 2.13 or 2.14, so its useless now (I removed and replaced with normal benediction. Eye for an Eye I see no reason to include in a macro...So lets be honest, as a WHM, its a pretty decent macro.

The only healing macro you need right here

<se.1-16> I'VE GOT AGGRO ON ME!!!
GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF

Taking from another thread i posted it in, super HoT macro for SCH.
/micon "Rouse"
/ac "Rouse"
/pac "Fey Illumination"
/wait 2
/ac "Succor" <me>
/pac "Whispering Dawn"
/p Super HoT Active <Gather Together.> <Please>

/action "Protect" <1>
/wait 4
/action "Stoneskin" <1>
/wait 4
/action "Stoneskin" <2>
/wait 4
/action "Stoneskin" <3>
/wait 4
/action "Stoneskin" <4>

I use this at the beginning of a dungeon to give everyone Protection and Stoneskins with a simple click.

/p Mage's Ballad please! <se.1>

When I need some mana, if there is a Bard around.

/action "Fluid Aura"
/wait 1
/action "Swift Cast"
/wait 1
/action "Repose"
/macroicon "Swift Cast"

When I got a monster on me, and I need it off fast.

/micon "attack skill"
/ac "attack skill" <t>
/ac "attack skill" <f>

I macro-ed all my attack skills to the above macro as I always focus target the boss.
This will allow me to heal the party members I have targeted, as well as hitting the boss with my attack skills, all without changing targets :).

Personally I dislike macro-ing my main healing skills, such as the often mentioned swiftcast + raise macro.
I find 0 advantage in doing macros like above for one main reason:

You do not save hotkey space, swiftcast itself deserves a place in your hotkey, as it has multiple applications other than just swift ressing, thus, you require a swift cast hotkey, + the ress macro hotkey, thus you are using two hotkey slots, the exact same as you would have used if you just hotkeyed both ress and swift cast skills.
I would even argue you lose out!!, if your swiftcast is on CD, of course you can press the swift cast+ress macro, it will fail to execute the swift cast, and then perform the slow ress, but due to the /wait 1, you will begin your ress cast 1 second slower as compared to just pressing your ress hotkey.
So to bypass the above problem, you will need a THIRD hotkey for ress, thus completely defeating the purpose of having this macro in the first place.

Hope this is clear!!

Wow great post as thinking of trying macros to make it easier on PS3.
Thanks for all the posts :)

If you're one of those scholars that wants to control your both pet, and have the pet actions dragged to hotbar, setting up a macro to change the content of a hotbar might make things easier. But this requires you to have 2 unused hotbars
I.e hotbar #5 and #6

/micon "Summon"
/ac "Summon" <me>
/hotbar copy SCH 5 SCH 1

And other with "Summon II" and 5 is replaced with 6

It copies the content of your hidden hotbar ( 5 and 6 for example) to the visible hotbar 1 that you have keybinded. Use for example hotbar 5 for eos' and hotbar 6 for selene's skills.
This is really helpful especially if you have pet actions on 1 hotbar like me.

Set the hidden hotbars as if it was the #1 hotbar.

Yoy could use this witj CS too, but then you'd need 2 macros, as you'd want one macro to change the hotbars to attack mode, and other to change back to healing mode.

Sorry if that's a bit hard to understand. I know that I'm mostly bad at explaining.

<tt> macros are wonderful, all of my offensive spells are macros with <tt>.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to use the swiftraise macro.
The simple benedicition macro (so you don't use it on yourself if the target dies) is beautiful.

After that I think most macros are counterproductive:
-Divine seal, medica II macros are often a waste of DS. Sometimes you just want to top people off and leave them with a HoT... they don't always need the BEST HoT. However, sometimes when heavy damage is coming, or mana intense fights, DS regen on the tank is incredibly valuable.

-Making Cure III self targeted doesn't make sense to me either. Often mellee and the tank need more healing than the group, and I don't want to be close enough that a cure III targeting myself would reach them. I also actually really like plain old Medica. If you're astute enough to know the pros and cons of the cast times, MP, and potency, then you know there are situations for both - I see value in a self targeted Cure III, but if I made that macro, I'd also want an unmacrod cure III.

/ac Swiftcast
/ac Raise
/wait 1
/ac Raise

Fixes that 1 second delay if Swiftcast is on CD

/p Healer needs Mage Ballad! <se.1><se.1><se.1>

The world would be a better place if more WHM had this. Adding multiple <se.1> (or any other sound effect) actually makes it *louder.*

I have both macroed and unmacroed, I only use the unmarcoed Cure III in one fight - Ifrit EX, when I'm afflicted with searing wind.
The only instance I have to use Cure III rather than Medica 2 or Medica is during fights when the party is stacked up - Titan EX, sometimes Garuda EX and Turn 5. Its much easier to just hit a button then target myself. In these fights you cannot cast it on the tank as the tank will be too far away from the party. Its just easier to use a self-casted Cure III.

**Changing to DPS skills. Great for PS3/PS4 users who lack room on their crosshotbars
*Cleric Stance*
/macroicon "Cleric Stance"
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/crosshotbar change 3

**Changing back to healing skills.
*Cleric Stance*
/macroicon "Cleric Stance"
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/crosshotbar change 1


*Instant Raise*
/macroicon "Swiftcast"
/p Instant Raise on <t>!!!
/a Instant Raise on <t>!!!
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/wait
/ac "Raise" <t>

OR

/macroicon "Swiftcast"
/p Instant Raise on <t>!!!
/a Instant Raise on <t>!!!
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/wait
/ac "Resurrection" <t>

*Swiftcast Protect/Party Sort
/p Casting Protect!!
/macroicon "Protect"
/psort
/ac "Swiftcast"<me>
/wait
/ac "Protect" <me>

First I would like to mention, I hate you. You caused me 4 hours of reconfiguring macros and hotbar layouts. Second, thanks a TON for sharing this.

I took it a little farther though, and probably a huge bonus information to any PS4 players (and probably PC players who use a gamepad too). Turns out you can have the cross hotbar AND standard hotbars active at the same time. While at first it may seem weird and cluttered to have all your abilities on two different hotbars, considering on a controller you are probably going to use the cross hotbar only, I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. The cross hotbar can only display 16 items at one time. Hotbars can display 12 at a time 10 times over (120 icons, if you're crazy). What do I need with 136 icons? Situational awareness.

With SCH (and to a lesser extent WHM), I can set off crosshotbar cooldown timers on a single (or two) lines for monitoring. It lets me see the status of offGCD timers such as rouse, fey____, eye4eye, virus, aetherflow, and anything else with a long CD that you don't have room for on your main cross hotbar. Again, just more situational awareness on my abilities. That said, this is my new macro for summoning:

/micon "Summon"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Summon" <me> (incase swiftcast failed)
/wait
/ac "Summon" <me>
/chotbar copy SCH 5(6) SCH 4
/hotbar copy SCH 8(9) SCH 10

The chotbar line affects my L2+R2 cross hotbar and the hotbar line affects my situational awareness line. Remember that 7-10 are vertical hotbars, so you can change it to 1-6 if you want something horizonal more. I may change it to this too.

Happy healing!
