ACN/SCH/SMN Macros & Cross-bar Setup

[IMAGNDAT]

Did anybody figure out how to make macros for the pets? Like in ffxi you would make /pet "Predator Claws" <t> or is using the pet attacks simply adding the action on the hot bar? would be nice to make macro that has multiple actions to save hot bar space

I'd imagine it would be:
/ac "Gust" <t>
Which would only work when Emerald was summoned. However I think it's pretty pointless, since the Gust command itself does exactly that.

What about healing the pet can you target the pet and use a normal heal spell or can you only use the spell that regens 8% of the health Overtime? and what would be an example of a Macro you would use to target the pet???? I assume /ac "physick" <pet name>

Normal healing spells work on the pet too.

Don't have macros for specific roles but its easy enough to hit f1-4 then your cure button. f1-8 if you're in a full party. f9 is the default to target your pet for your pet.

The macros I use on ACN/SCH/SMN are:

/ac swiftcast <me>
/wait 1
/ac "summon #" <me>
/hotbar change #

The hotbar change is for summon micro so I don't have Selene or Eos doing stuff when they aren't in the right position and such. Having them decide to use the Skill Speed or Regen buffs right after I summon them isn't the best.

And both have a
/hotbar change #
that switches to a hotbar with with DD spells and they have one in the same slot that switches back.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the GCD timer coming from your own spells seems to put your pet's skills on cooldown as well. This means that only you or your pet can perform skills as soon as the GCD is refreshed. Manually casting your pet's skills doesn't seem worthwhile because it forces one of you to do nothing for a short time.

You just can't use pet commands while casting. You can do say Bio -> Embrace no problem because Bio is instant cast. As for manually casting them, you just have to hit it once and then you can do w/e don't have to wait for anything, just can't issue another pet command that would cancel the first one.
