New Essential Macro

[Aeyis]

It works without a wait time then? I have something similar, but with a wait time of 2 in case it would otherwise try to activate basic touch.

Ah my bad, thought you ment in use for a longer macro.
Still very useful to have, thanks.

My own macro for longer sequences of crafting:

/ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
/ac "Precise Touch" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>

(touch x5)

I havent tested the wait times properly, so im not sure if it can be done with less.
All I know is the above will work for anywhere you want a Precise Touch>Basic Touch.

It will activate Precise Touch if a good condition is present, and otherwise use a Basic Touch in its place.


Edit:
Wait time on the Precise Touch can be lower to 1 it seems. Basic Touch cant be lowered to 1 or it will cause the touches to ''collide and cancel each other''. From one test Basic Touch with a wait time of 2 seems to work.

Im guessing the total wait time for [Precise Touch + Basic Touch] needs to be atleast 3.

snip

You can just drop the wait time off Precise Touch in your macro, the wait on basic will still happen even if you don't use basic, as long as the syntax is proper for the rest of the macro. The wait 2 only works out because it's under 3 seconds, otherwise you would get all 5 basic plus any precise procs, using some after SH expires.

/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>

edit - and I just realized I can stop using the <me> in macros because they changed abilities to self target when no target is selected about a year ago
