Ground targeting

[Macleod]

You could use

/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>

to use on target or <me> for self

dunno if that helps at all.

Edit: I don't know if <mo> would work for ground targeted spells? Never tried it. It is mouse over targeting.

Yeah, I've tried the <t> macro thing with Salted Earth while playing DRK, and it is definitely not a solution I'd say...since this game seems to have specifically designed macros to suck, I find it doesn't reliably go off because of the forced GCD delay with FFXIV macros. Like I said before, I wish they'd just add a "double tap" option like SWTOR had for ground target abilities. Press the button once and it activates the ground target placement indicator, press the button again with a target selected and it will cast it centered right on them. I sure as hell know I can double tap a hotkey faster than I can get a macro to decide to finally go off in this game.

Yeah, you sort of have to mash the macro for it to come out "reliably", but even then it can still mess up and not occur. Ive heard filling every line of the macro with the same line can help, but Im not really sure.

Like:
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
