    [Suggestion] Allow players to save set abilities and actions for each weapon.

    Hello,

    Please consider allowing players to customize and save equipped abilities for each weapon. I would greatly appreciate the convenience of changing weapons/class and having my previously set abilities for that specific class loaded up for me.

    I am not asking for reset of cooldown timers on abilities, I am not asking for anything that can in any way be advantageous to the player other than simply alleviating the chore that is setting abilities every time I change between classes that greatly differ in rank and play style.

    This system is very much similar to how BlueMage worked in FFXI, and I would have expected improvements based on your previous experience but I was disappointed to see something so simple was overlooked.

    I appreciate your consideration, thank you. ^^;

    I can recall that the developers have already stated, abilities and actions will be saved for each class upon switching.
    I would expect this update in the 1.18 patch, or possibly early 1.19

    I find macros work pretty well. Take the time to do em, they are worth it.

    Like shots said, just make some macros for now, it doesnt take that long to set them up.

    Example: /eaction 2 "Raging Strike"

    you can fit about 10-12 (not sure how many lines there are) action equips on each macro and it saves a ton of time.

    Macros are a crutch that allows you to hobble a little faster.
    And sometimes doesn't even work properly.
    I don't want a crutch.
    I want a sportscar.

    Yea macros are really strange in this game...they cancel upon moving to different "areas" and are unbelievably slow...you can almost do it faster manually if all the abilities you want are under same class...I dont know why the macros execute so slowly compared to XIs..

    The macro system is barely adequate. It can be much MUCH improved on.

    Macros are pretty awful, it takes way to long to change my actions and gear using macros, it should be instant when you change class.
