    /ac "attack skill" <t>
    /ac "attack skill" <f>

    I macro-ed all my attack skills to the above macro as I always focus target the boss.
    This will allow me to heal the party members I have targeted, as well as hitting the boss with my attack skills, all without changing targets .

    Personally I dislike macro-ing my main healing skills, such as the often mentioned swiftcast + raise macro.
    I find 0 advantage in doing macros like above for one main reason:

    You do not save hotkey space, swiftcast itself deserves a place in your hotkey, as it has multiple applications other than just swift ressing, thus, you require a swift cast hotkey, + the ress macro hotkey, thus you are using two hotkey slots, the exact same as you would have used if you just hotkeyed both ress and swift cast skills.
    I would even argue you lose out!!, if your swiftcast is on CD, of course you can press the swift cast+ress macro, it will fail to execute the swift cast, and then perform the slow ress, but due to the /wait 1, you will begin your ress cast 1 second slower as compared to just pressing your ress hotkey.
    So to bypass the above problem, you will need a THIRD hotkey for ress, thus completely defeating the purpose of having this macro in the first place.

    Hope this is clear!!
