That's a lot of unnecessary sound effects.

Are you in a party? Otherwise it'll just give you an error. Summon your chocobo and try it again.

Are you using any macro after that one? Any macro used will cancel an in progress macro used before it. Also, from your text, it looks like there is no space between the <se.10> and the <wait.2>. When i copied this in, it caused my macro to skip parts. Try adding the space if it isnt' there.

hope this helps

Put a space between the two sets of brackets at the end, and remove one of the sound effects from each line. You have two on each.

Here is mine:

/p Going in 5 Seconds<se.5>
/focustarget
/marking attack5 <focus> <wait.1>
/p 4 Seconds <se.5>
/marking attack4 <focus> <wait.1>
/p 3 Seconds<se.5>
/marking attack3 <focus> <wait.1>
/p 2 Seconds<se.5>
/marking attack2 <focus> <wait.1>
/p 1 Second <se.5>
/marking attack1 <focus> <wait.1>
/marking cross <focus>
/p <t> Engaged! Good Luck and Have Fun <se.2>
/focustarget none

The marking gives a countdown timer above the bosses head

I will agree, if you try to use ANY other macro mid count-down it will stop. However here is mine, might help and its a good time if you have a ninja in your party.

/p Pulling in 15 <se.10>
/wait 5
/p Pulling in 10 <se.10>
/wait 5
/p Pulling in 5 <se.10>
/wait
/p Pulling in 4 <se.10>
/wait
/p Pulling in 3 <se.10>
/wait
/p Pulling in 2 <se.10>
/wait
/p Pulling in 1 <se.10>

I'm so glad I don't use pull macros.
I can hear the sound effects just reading these! @_@

Pull macros are good ^ specially when done in moderation like AlphaFox.

I only use them in my raid where coordination is needed and for those odd times where everyone is ready but someone is still talking, the sound kinda snaps every back into attention.
