Hi everyone. I've been trying to research this online, but havn't had any luck finding a database or a resource with some sample macros for certain classes/jobs.
I have 4 Classes at 50 and 3 Jobs with full AF... so far I love the patch, but I know I am not as efficient as I could be.
I want to heal using my Conjurer and/or WHM but I don't know how to use macros. I know macros arn't required, but I've been told they help tremendously.
I would greatly appreciate if people could copy/paste all of the common macros they use and that they feel are really useful. I have all of the AF Macros posted by DR. Mog, but I would love to get some combat based macros as well.
So..... if you have macros you use for ANY Class/Job and you know they work with 1.21., PLEASE SHARE!!!

I have found this, its a macro app that lets you change all 14 gear slots and to a job without rewriting all your macros, doesnt seem to be against SE policy so here it goes. http://205.196.123.34/zheqhld75qkg/7...1.21+Test2.rar

03-13-2012, 06:31 AMZellAlienbaby, thank you for the re-post, but I made those macros yesterday... I was referring to job skill and ability macros, especially THAU/CONJ/WHM/BLM...Quote:

Which macro syntaxes are you specifically looking for?
EDIT: Answered already.
Anyhow, what is it you don't understand about them? -
03-13-2012, 06:35 AMZellSimpler targeting of party members for quick cura, or casting esuna..... maybe macro that combines sacred prism with either Protect and/or stoneskin.Quote:

the system is pretty easy.
To cure it would be /ac "Cure" <st> this will let you select which npc to cast on.
because all your timers are on screen, it is a lot easier to track and click them from the bar though, IMO
Something I do is press f1 through f8 first to target the correct people then click cure and press enter,
Some people lock in a special cure just for the tank and edit it every time the party fills up so it always cures the tank,
example
/ac "Cure" <p3> where the tank is 3rd in the party list on the screen. hope this helps.
/ac "spell in game" <p0-p7> or <t> or any of these
<t> Displays current target name.
<me> Displays your character's name.
<p0> Party Member 0. Displays your character's name.
<p1> Party Member 1. Displays name of first party member in list.
<p2> Party Member 2. Displays name of second party member in list.
<p3> Party Member 3. Displays name of third party member in list.
<p4> Party Member 4. Displays name of fourth party member in list.
<p5> Party Member 5. Displays name of fifth party member in list.
<p6> Party Member 6. Displays name of sixth party member in list.
<p7> Party Member 7. Displays name of seventh party member in list.
<st> Subtarget.
<stpc> Displays available PC subtargets.
<stnpc> Displays available NPC subtargets.
<stenemy> Displays available engageable enemy subtargets.
<stenmity> Displays available engaged enemy subtargets.
<stparty> Displays available party member subtargets.
<lastat> Displays the last enemy that attacked you.
P.S. let me know if you try the class gear job changer thing, i thought it was cool and frees up 7 macro slots plus changes in a 3rd of the time. -
03-13-2012, 06:40 AMXoo
Try:
/ac "Cure" <p0> (yourself) through <p7> (sequentially, the last person in the party list.)
Of course, this requires up to 24 macros (Cure, Cura, Curaga). And another 8 for Esuna.
If you have the room for those, which you should, go for it. -
03-13-2012, 06:42 AMalienbaby
the SS would be
/ac "Scared Prism" <p0>
/ac "Stoneskin" <st> to allow you to target tank or <p?where ever the tank is>
then /ac Protect <st> <p0> or same as above..
the game does the correct /waits for you with this setup. -
03-13-2012, 06:42 AMMolly_Millions
this macro would cast cure on the first party member in your list:
/ac "Cure" <P1>
this one would cast fire on the currently selected target:
/ac "Fire" <t>
as an example you can chain skills via a macro like this:
/ac "Fire" <t>
/wait 2
/ac "Fira" <t>
is that what you need? -
03-13-2012, 06:45 AMZell
Thanks for the responses... great info so far.
What macros have you guys made for yourself so far that you use other than /ac "Cure" <st>. Is that pretty much all I need? -
03-13-2012, 06:49 AMXoo
I only have 2 macros for targeting/provoking purposes. In my opinion, <st> isn't as fast as <p0-7>, because once you have your party list in your head without second-guessing it, you can literally just smash the appropriate cure macro without ever cycling through targets as you would with <st>.

Well in XI I used <stpc> for heals and scroll through party list but stayed locked onto tank so he was always first to be targeted. In this game however I have yet to touch the macros for combat and have been working off the bar itself.

03-13-2012, 07:03 AMZell
I use a controller for healing... am i better off teaching myself how to use keyboard and mouse?
-
03-13-2012, 07:10 AMKeith_DragoonI also use the controller, targeting in this game is kinda screwed for controllers even though they have tried like 25 times to change it, XI still has the superior targeting mechanics. You can try using the macroes with the controller its alot easier then the action bar since if u don't do it right you will end up cyclling palletes and misfiring spells.Quote:

Depends on what you're most comfortable playing with. Naturally, those who are partial to keyboard will say it's the best and vice-versa. What's important is you figure out if <p#> or <st> works best for you.

03-13-2012, 07:11 AMalienbaby100%, better for me to play on a keyboard, but i like to run around town with the controller.Quote:

I've healed in other mmo's by targeting nameplates and use keybinds to heal. However, I play all of my combat classes with a controller. It's really hard going back and forth. I tried using a keyboard.. but I didn't even known how to open the menu without the controller.....
I'll try out some of the healing macros tonight....
Also, other than Cura.... what other ability for WHM/ CONJ deserves 7 macros corrosponding to each party member? -
03-13-2012, 08:25 AMviion
You should throw /facetarget in front of all cure macros =D
-
03-13-2012, 08:25 AMZellWow. Thank you so much, that would have never occurred to me.....Quote:

Optionally, for tanking the moogle fight you can add these lines to the macro above:
/wait 2
/ac "Sacred Prism" <me>
/wait 2
/ac "Cure" <me>
I have a few other macros for fun like this one:
/airquotes
/wait 1
/em make a face like a retarded bunny. -

Does anyone else have a problem with their macros to switch Jobs not fully completing? For instance I copied this verbatim for a Bard macro:
When I switch from another class using this Macro, there are gear pieces that do not get equipped. I have to run the macro twice (sometimes 3 times!) to get them all equipped. It seems there's some lag after switching jobs, or something with the job specific gear pieces that skip them equipping. I don't notice this with any of my other macros to equip classes such as Fisher, Miner, Leatherworker, etc. All of my other macros have full gear sets equipped too.Quote:

Don't think you need macros for actions in this game what with the action bar.
This is due to latency/lag it will sometimes skip a line or two, I doubt this will get any better any time soon unless yoshi adds 20-30 lines in a macro page so we can add a wait command between each item.Quote:
