Are there any combat macro's that actually work?

I wanna try out Reaper, it just has too many abilities to keep track of lel.

Also, because, drip.

Wanted to macro Gibbet and Gallows together tbh

And soul sow to harpe

Macros will delay you very much and you will LOSE tonnes of damage, if you run a macro to do your skills you will not help yourself or your team you will severe punish in general.

However some few macros do work like a quick revive with eg. a text on.

I would suggest to before you judge whatever job to much to actually play it some and get the feeling, buttons often can seem overwhelming to begin with... but often it also unlocks aoes and single target stuff, it is all about just trying to set it up so it work the best for you and then just getting used to it.

Honestly it is not halfbad and pretty much any DPS class got the same amount of buttons... to get used to.

Mmmm I have a few for OGCD related stuff that works alright. For example on my whm I have a lazy Aquaveil macro that targets <tt> for a tankbuster or something like that. Since glare cast is shorter than GCD it doesn't clip often unless I'm a bit late. I still have the ability w/o macro on my hotbar though when I need to be more discerning about it.

Eye mouse over macros on Dragoon work decently well, and the poor queueing doesn't really hurt as much as clicking on someone and then hitting the button

There is? /10 char

Yes,. Hotbar 1 specifically can be swapped on the fly.
The default keybind would be shift+a number to swap to that numbered hotbar. Of course this can be adjusted in the keybinds menu.

Oh those. One of the first thing I always remove on a new char is to remove those specific binding, otherwise I keep swap them on accident.

Reason is I use Shift/Control as a multiplier for normal key. So I have 1-6 and Shift 1-6 all map to actual abilities.

The only one I currently have and use is a macro that focus targets my dance partner when I use closed position. I always get kind of sad when it turns black.

So throw it on alt or something, there's always options.

Nah, using a macro is just way easier

Playing on controller, I find Reaper to be one of the least cumbersome jobs to map out the abilities. I can comfortably assign everything.

reaper sometimes feels like it was purpose built for the controller crossbar

Shirk macros are great for tanks, you can just have it set to /ac 'Shirk' <2>
and it will always shirk the other tank

other than that, macros are completely worthless in this game.
