    Subtarget macros? Is there a way?

    Edit: Nevermind, got it. Reached post limit though lol.

    I'm trying to write my raise macro so that i can tab to the person, without actually selecting them.

    I want to be able to have swiftcast and raise in one macro.. But I haven't found a way. <lasttarget> and <lt> don't work because they refer to your last target, and not your last sub-target.

    In FFXI, such a macro would have looked like this

    /ja "Swiftcast" <me>
    /wait 1
    /ma "Raise" <st>

    even though the subtargeting in xi was done after selecting the macro rather than before. I've checked, and tried, there appears to be no <lastst> (last sub-target) macro noun.

    In FFXIV, if I try (while subtargeting someone else)
    /ac "Swiftcast" <me>
    /wait 1
    /ac "Cure" <t> on a subtarget, it cures my current actual "hard target".

    (Yes I said cure even though this is about raise, just a simple way to test.)

    Playing around, I got this to work

    Code:
    /macroicon "Swiftcast"
    /target <t>
    /ac "Swiftcast" <me>
    /wait .8
    /ac "Raise" <t>
    /ac "Resurrection" <t>
    /target <lt>

    Shield Lob (Can change red text to Tomahawk and it will work perfectly Warriors)
    /macroicon "Shield Lob"
    /ac "Shield Lob" <t>
    /marking attack1 <t>

    Better "macro switching", give it a read: http://tinyurl.com/ffxivhotbars

    Not entirely understanding the point.

    Swiftcast is going to trigger the animation cooldown either way, it gives you plenty of time to simply click on the target.

    Swiftcast has a tiny (and I mean minuscule) animation cooldown, unless I'm not understanding what you mean.
