2 star / 3-4 star crosskills switching

I found out that i need different sets of crossclass skills for 2* and below and for 3/4* crafts. And also i found out that i often forget to swithch it or miss some skills even if i do it.
Simple macros can help )

Set of skills to remove/add may be another - it depends on used rotations. Main idea - remove unused skills first to free place and try to add new skills placing most needed first.

I'm sure some of us considered this before but didnt actually try our hands at macroing it(I know I didnt), as such much appreciated for your effort and macros. :)
It's a very, very useful thing to have.

1) Waste of macro space
2) Server lag makes it not work a good amount of the time
3) better to manually do it each time
4) please learn to actually craft

Not really, the macro for swapping out skills work.. if anything you can put in <wait.1> at the end. You can combine the macro for your Gearset swapping and it won't take up any extra hotbar slots either.

I probably won't make use of it myself because I only have 2 different skill setups for each class, but the idea is pretty good.

These commands seems to be server independent. Or very less dependent than touches and quality skills.

Instead of being so negative, how about you bring some positive criticism to the table? Personaly, I find this macros useful, though I wouldn't use them because I don't use Innovation or WN2 at all. But that's my personal rotations, maybe the OP has his own rotation, which is fine.

WN2 I can understand, but why would you not use Innovation? O.o

maybe he uses Ingenuity and doesn't have enough slots left.. I'm so glad I dropped Ingenuity, starting to appreciate Innovation again.

Ingenuity(II) is better for 2* and 3* crafts.
Innovation is better for 1* and 4* crafts.

(Quality gains from Byregot at the same amount of Inner Quiet stacks)

Innovation is needed for 100% HQing 2 star from NQ (bt*5 st*2) and for Terminus Putty HQ (13 ht). Max number of possible touches is well known, so i don't understand why not use Innovation when it's possible.
Also, Innovation costs less than Ingen 2

Mate, really.............. learn some manners and potentially throw in some originality while youre at it.

Side note, didn't think about using /tell <me> in a line of macro. Never actually knew you could /tell yourself. How does this work with /busy? Can you still /tell yourself?

If there is no benefit to /tell yourself I have another suggestion, using /echo a <se.#>

<se.XX> seems to be not working on PS4. So, i use /tell because want to hear a sound when macro ends. About busy - never used, don't know.

<se.x> commands only work for echo/party/alliance.
Maybe that's what you were missing.. Either way, if it's for the ding I suppose it wouldn't matter to ya.
