Theres not enough macro space to play Ninja.

needs to be /ac regen <mo>

you need mouseover heals

Can't you just click on the name in the party list member instead if you are using mouse? Or using the up-down button to move on the party list if you are using controller? That way, it is more accurate instead of mouse over thingy. And that, my friend, saves you one space for more macro.... And you are welcomed by the way.

I definitely agree with that. They should create 10 tabs and include 100 macros in each of them.
I love macros and feel really limited.
You can make different macros depending on solo or team play.

well I can just click on targets BUT Id rather have the enemy targeted so I can see them use their specials

[LionKing]

I am not talking about Focus Target @-@.... You can still doing all that with your focus target on da bos.....

When I started 2.0 Bard, I had 3 macros - 2 putting bloodletter and misery's end in front of Straight and Heavy Shots, and one with all the buffs in one macro.

I tried a buffing macro and never liked it. I tried the other one and dropped heavy and straight out of them and left Misery and Bloodletter in that order. So in the end I'm just pushing that one button to trigger both. All my other macros are utility that will spew something into party as well.

I still manage to outdps a higher ilvl bard - not by much but still.

"I have all skills on a single macro button" Said no Raider ever.

Well.

There used to be some single button macro's used by a Rogue spec or two in Rifts.
Hoko spec comes to mind. If I remember correctly it was for movement heavy fights.

[Lord_Zlatan]

haven't used a single macro in this game... I can't imagine that you actually NEED all of those.. >.>

Macros in XI HELPED with DPS because they allowed for you to gear swap. It is also the only way to keybind abilities, so if you don't have an ability macroed you have to navigate the menus to trigger it. XIV puts all your abilities right in front of you in a clickable and bindable fashion and has no gear swapping. Even XI had the /wait limitations but you couldn't always manually trigger abilities that fast anyways due to long cast times or needing to jump to a different menu.

the benefit of have assassinate on every attack so it fires off as soon as it can

The downside is if you macro Assassinate to everything you can and will fire off an Assassinate at the wrong time; such as while the mob is casting a deadly AoE - you'll take that damage right to the face because you have no control over Assassinate...


Macros are good tools but they can't play for you...
