Nifty ressurection macro?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to keep my buttons to a minimum, and since every healing class gets their own ressurection skill I was wondering if there was any macro to mash them all together? I currently have two macros I find very useful, and was hoping I could get some help making a res macro as well. the two I'm currently using is:

/macroicon "Thunder"
/merror off
/ac "Thunder III" <t>
/ac "Thunder III" <tt>
/ac "Thunder II" <t>
/ac "Thunder II" <tt>
/ac "Thunder" <t>
/ac "Thunder" <tt>

And:

/macroicon "Stone"
/merror off
/ac "Stone III" <t>
/ac "Stone III" <tt>
/ac "Stone II" <t>
/ac "Stone II" <tt>
/ac "Stone" <t>
/ac "Stone" <tt>

Can anyone please help me make a macro for ressing too?:confused:
Thank you all!:cool:

Bless you. I didnt realize you could do this with different spell ranks. ������

Haha, but be careful, skills like Bio l and Bioll can both be applied to the target, same goes with Aero l+ll+lll. The only one I noticed didn't apply twice was Thunder.

Enlighten me, what exactly do the macros you gave examples of do? I'm not a master of macros, but it looks like you have it set to use Thunder III, but if you're running a lower level dungeon and it's not available, it will give an error (hence merror off), and then it moves on to Thunder II, and Thunder I in turn, so it will cast the highest you have available? I fail to see the purpose of the extra <tt> lines though.



If this format works though, wouldn't it just be:

/micon Raise (or whichever you prefer)
/merror off
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <tt>
/ac Resurrection <t>
/ac Resurrection <tt>
/ac Ascend <t>
/ac Ascend <tt>

?

A quick critique of your stone macro if I may.
Macros can cause issues with skill queuing, which will lower dps.
As I am sure you have noticed, occasionally, your macro may also cast the wrong stone, such as "Stone" instead of "Stone III" at 60. You can combat both of these issues by doing something like this instead:

/macroicon protect
/hotbar action "Stone" #4 #10
/hotbar action "Stone II" #4 #10
/hotbar action "Stone III" #4 #10
/ac protect

(the numbers at the end mean 4th hotbar, 10th slot, change as needed)

What this does is place the skill onto the hotbar. So at the beginning of the duty, you cast protect and it places the appropriate actual action skill on your bar, which means no more issues with skill queuing or accidentally casting the wrong spell.

May I ask why you want a rez macro? skillbars are split between jobs/classes, so you could just place the actual skills on the bars with no issue.

Of course, something like this should work:
/ac Raise
/ac Resurrection
/ac Ascend

Or this:
/hotbar action "Raise" #4 #10
/hotbar action "Resurrection" #4 #10
/hotbar action "Ascend" #4 #10
/ac Protect

Like already said, if you want to play as effectively as possible, you will want to avoid macros as much as possible, since they prevent you from queueing your abilities and, because of that, slow you down a bit. There may also be lag issues related to macros (like line 2 being executed instead of line 1 etc.).

Also, that Thunder macro isn't very good for Black Mage, since you will only want to cast Thunder 3 when it procs and slow cast Thunder 1 instead.

Useful macro that Winsock, cheers!

And to chime in on using macros for core healing and DPS abilities. I'll also strongly advise against doing so. As stated, it'll prevent the ability from queueing properly and as a result will always add a fairly substantial delay to the order of around 10% from memory. We're talking just over 2 GCDs a minute which can be quite a chunk over an encounter or dungeon.

Code:

---

/micon Raise
/aerror off
/merror off
/ac "Raise" <t>
/ac "Raise" <2>
/ac "Raise" <3>
/ac "Raise" <4>
/ac "Raise" <5>
/ac "Raise" <6>
/ac "Raise" <7>
/ac "Raise" <8>

Allows you to manually target raises, but it will otherwise go down the list. Suppresses all error messages.

Set your party list to sort to your preferred raise priority, or just change up the order of the macro list.

Redacted. Read it wrong.

do you have a macro for allies raise in 24 men raid? because i play in PS4 so raise an alliy kind ò tricky for me because i have to target them with my touch pad manually

R1 or L1 + d-pad select alliance members.

Good macros, guys, but remember to use the command /micon at the end of the macro. It will work the same and the game has one less string of code to read before the action you want it do do...

I thought you were asking for a funny, cute, or cool saying to use for a raise macro. I personally don't recommend macros as have been described so far as they can hinder you in small ways. Placement macros, swiftcast macros, and acknowledge ment macros are about it I'd say. Also place the /micon as the last line to prevent adding additional time to the macro itself.

I highly discourage the use of macros for primary GCD abilities for classes. If you're looking to save space on a BLM hotbar, you could do what I do and have a pair of macros that copy a Fire hotbar and a Blizzard hotbar onto your main hotbar. It requires a couple of auxiliary hotbars that you don't use to store the hotbars, and if you make any changes to the main hotbar you need to copy them over, but it basically compresses 10 actions (Fire I-IV + Flare, Blizzard I-IV + Freeze) into 5 slots plus one button for the macro that swaps them.

I tried this for a while myself, but I was occasionally getting confused with the greyed-out image thinking I was out of MP. If that doesn't bother you, you can use winsock's method of just putting the three actions in the same macro; you just can't get it to update the icons. I'd personally recommend just using the action itself on each healer, though.

The <tt> lines cause you to attempt to attack the target of your target; useful for a healer who wants to keep the tank targeted whilst DPSing, though I fail to see the merit of using it on a BLM for Thunder.
