Summon macros with pet-specific automatic crossbar update

[TheMax1087]

I've been using similar macros for a while now for summoner and scholar/whm(for cleric stance). That said, you should always have a macro that reverts things to a default state quickly in the off chance that something wrong happens(such as hitting the macro for dreadwyrm stance and it not activating so you don't have ruin 3 with no stance activated).

Good point. For what I'm planning to do with Dreadwyrm/Ruin 3 macro, I think I'll be fine without additional ones to revert it in case of emergency since Akh Morn macro will reverts Ruin 3 to Ruin, and so if for some reason I'm not in Dreadwyrm Trance and have the Ruin 3 / Akh Morn skills on main crossbar, I can still press the Akh Morn macro (which won't be an active skill, not being in Dreadwyrm Trance at all in that situation) and it will revert my crossbar back to its default status.

I actually keep my main crossbars backed up on the base class as well using crosshotbar copy command to store them on ACN... it's how I have separate PVP vs PVE loadouts, my PVP macro copies one set of bars for all my PVP jobs from class to job, and my PVE macro copies another set.

I don't use the cross hotbar, but this is a good way to save space instead of having a hundred hotbars on the screen. I use the ones to summon a pet and place its skills on my own custom "pet hotbar" for both SMN and SCH. Since they're not part of our rotation, they of course work perfectly fine.
I don't have Dreadwyrm yet so I can't speak from experience, but I will be interested in trying it. I would be a little bit leery of having a macro for anything that's in battle and not simply a utility (like a SC Raise.) Although, if your idea does work well, I can see a use for it on BRD/MCH too, for Minuet/Gauss additional abilities.

However, for some reason I never thought of this...

scholar/whm(for cleric stance).

I've been using a macro that copies entire hotbars, but this not only accomplishes the same thing it also frees up the hotbars I was previously using for the copy macro! What a great idea, thank you.
