    the trick to not running out of mp in the ifrit fight on THM is to start spamming combos later (like start in phase 2, and have LNC get him through phase 1 for the most part) then to use a macro such as this (with action queuing on) for your combos:

    /ac "Thunder <t>
    /wait 2
    /ac "Parsimony" <me>
    /wait 2
    /ac "Thundara <t>

    The cooldown on parsimony is long enough that if you use the combo whenever Thundara is ready, parsimony will be triggered every other time you use the combo. Remeber to fight with you weapon put away, and sit down at the tanks feet when Ifrit jumps.

    Macros for combos for the Ifirt fight are not the best idea. Animation lock can easily enough get you killed; a string of animation locks from a macro can end very badly. Better to cast each spell separately in a fight like Ifirt.

    I didn't die once using that method. You'll only die if you don't know what you are doing, or just aren't very good at what you are trying to do. If you get greedy and constantly spam the macro, things won't end well. But if you use it sparingly and carefully, you'll be just fine.
