RAISINGGGGG

Voila!!! Keleto Sasalito✿Gilgamesh you are successfully raised!! <se.2><se.6>

Now pay me gil... you know I COULD'VE done more damage but I had to raise you ! Am I not nice ? :D <se.3><se.3>

NEVER do this. Do not.

Is this a broken clock moment? because I find myself agreeing with this one pretty strongly...

Can my res macro just be every single sound effect played multiple times

You know, now I want to actually use that satanic macro just to screw with people.

Raise macros might not completely prevent duplicate raises (if at all), but the latter is still more annoying than the former.

Did you mean to log in to your sparkly astrologian account to post this?

See, a functional Raise macro can simply be "/p Raising <t>. <se.3>", you don't need anything further than that, nor anything further than that assists in anyway, but you very often get the jokey raise macros that go for multiple lines, or are so long that will split into multiple lines in the chat box anyway, and those can get kinda obnoxious.

Skill macros in general can be annoying, I once I had a Praet run where the Tank had 4 different Provoke macros, all designed to be purposefully cringe, and he religiously set them off every 30 seconds like Provoke was part of his rotation, you also often get LB macros where people will put in entire anime speeches on a macro that goes off 4-5 times in an Alliance Raid... at some point you start hunting for the LB just to stop them from filling up the chat box.

Elaborate raise macros completely defeat the purpose. I agree with Veya, keep it simple people!

Oh absolutely. I freaking hate these kind of raise macros.

That moment when you raise before the macro healer raised but now everyone thinks only the macro healer raised people and you get zero comms

Been there. While their macro is taking extra time to actually cast the res, mine just fires off immediately. They literally have the res icon from my res while the other guy's text is going out. Awkward.

I have played since 1.0. I have seen raise macros about 10 times in all the years of playing.

Adding a message in /party doesn't slow the cast down at all.

I want a macro that literally reaches through the internet and slaps the guy who keeps backflipping off the arena and wasting my mana.

i lowkey hate all of them ....they're annoying

i dont have a raise macro but i do have one for swiftcast so other heals can know when it goes on CD for me, and it gives a msg again when it's off CD so that i can use it again

Noted and copy pasta'd

By the Twelve, no.

I don't have actions macro'd into anything and just have a very simple /p "Walk it off, <t>" to let my co-raisers know I have someone. If there isn't any ambiguity on who's going to handle it, then I don't worry about using it. Helps most in 8 mans with co-healer/rdm/smn and a party that can't seem to stay alive.

Speaking of macros...

One improvement i would like is the ability to write out a series of different raise macros and it rotates with each use.

This way it's not "Hey raising <t>", "Hey raising <t>", "Hey raising <t>", "Hey raising <t>", etc...

Particularly when it's content when a lot of rezzing is going on because things are going sideways.

In any content that needs coordination on who is healing who, it's probably best to use voip.
It's always faster and more reliable to hit your buttons, not use a macro.

Uh please no sound. That’s just annoying. I block everyone who uses sound in their macros.

All we need is already available in the party list and raise macros are superfluous anyway.

The only time I ever macro'd raise in this game was to Yell "ARISE CHICKEN! CHICKEN ARISE!" when cast during that duty... and I may have let the tank who was wearing a chicken suit die a few times just to use it... >.>

Raise macros are so irritating and unoriginal. If it's anything more than "raising player x" then it's too much.

Raise macros are dumb and most of the time filled with dumb unfunny text that only they think is funny while the rest of us are annoyed by the spam.

I play as sage and have a macro saying <T> is alive Igor. Finally my research has bore fruit muhahahaha. Then again that is me. I didn't realize people have lost any sort of humor and take things way to seriously these days.

Thing is people want healers to raise them, not to start roleplaying with them. Anyways yours is still tame, compared to others I have seen in some content tho

Mine was always, "You've been working pretty hard, <t>. You deserve a Raise!"

But I disabled it due to getting tired of seeing it myself. It's what happens when you're the only one in your party healing during 8/24 man content because the other healer is DPSing and ignoring healing.

Remember the warrior berserk pacification macros? Hahaha.... /throw table

More on topic for a solution- SE should have people being raised marked in the party list by who, and mark who has been separately to that.

I just wish I could have a macro that wouldn't waste Swiftcast if I was out of range for the raise.

Raise Rework

Raise automatically turns into Swift Raise after 60 seconds. To indicate the cooldown, the cooldown slowly replaces the regular colors of the raise icon to a different color variation. This can be done via the regular cooldown wheel or a transition from left to right. Raise can no longer be used with Swiftcast. If there is a Raise buff on an ally, raise or swift raise cannot be used on that ally.

No more wasting mp, no more wasting Swiftcast, no more macros needed.

What I also would like to see is a Raise animation on a downed Ally. Kinda like the animation that you often see in other FF games when using Phoenix Down? Angel feathers falling from the sky, indicating person in the process of being raised? this gives a 2nd indicator to the party that x is being raised and x person with another rez ability? can stop trying to revive them because its covered. This can be indicated by the cast-bar of a party member? but an extra visual indicator would be nice for some I imagine.

We'll give you a fairy that speaks. However it will constantly say "HEY! LISTEN" then state something that is blatantly obvious every 5 seconds... >.>

Finally a topic hitting on the real issues in game. Didn't they change the UI not too long ago to make it so that you can see who is raising who in the party list? No need to ever macro raises again.

That doesn't apply to insta-cast raises.

Macros that incorporate swiftcast+ rez spells are slow and useless.

By the time a raise macro goes off, I already had time to swiftcast + rez unless I am on CD with my swiftcast in which case the other healer’s macro is also useless.

It’s faster to see/hear if my co-heal is casting swiftcast than waiting to see if a message appears in the chat (which I don’t read anyway).

When a rez goes out, an icon appears in the party list beside the name of the person being resurrected.

If a healer is slow casting, party list shows the castbar and who is targeted.

It’s also possible to focus target the other healer and see who they are targeting.

It can be useful to give a heads up of what is coming (i.e. swiftcast up in x) but a slow macro of an unstoppable event is not.

This is another reason to not use an all in one rez macro, even moreso if it’s one that moves the target to the next dead person. Simple solution: target first (you’ll know if you are in range for the rez), use swiftcast after.

Don't do these, it seriously count as spam, and you can get reported and suspended for it.

They did, and I will tell this to every single caster with a 4 line macro with sound effects, but they always claim it's totally needed that they let everyone know they are raising right now.
If it's obnoxious enough I'll definitely first ask them to stop hitting the macro and if they say "no" I'll throw a report their way. Most of them are just obnoxious enough that I'm willing to spend 2-3 minutes filling out a report for it.

I have 2 raise macros for my rdm. One says Don't you die on me players name then use raise. Other have says Looks like you need a raise then players name then uses raise.
