swifcast/raise macro

[Hulan]

i use:

/micon raise
/ac swiftcast
/ac raise
/wait 1
/ac raise
/p <insert dialogue>

I havent ran into an issue yet :/

You may want to change that to /wait 2. This will work in most situations, but I've found in crowded or complex areas where lots of things are happening (even boss fights in dungeons), the /wait 1 won't give it enough time to register. Otherwise, this is pretty close to what I use.

I also kind of agree with Kyomi, I still use my swiftcast macros, but sometimes I really regret it in the middle of a hairy fight when I have to wait 2 seconds for the macro to go off reliably.

Interesting. Well, I'll give it a try. As I said, I've never had any issues yet; but then again, I haven't really done much of the endgame content with lots of things going on, and I'm usually on the move for SC+Rez.

Thanks

How bout this instead?

/micon raise
/ac swiftcast
/ac raise
/wait 1
/ac raise
/p <insert dialogue>
/wait 1
/ac raise

If the first raise registers, the 2nd raise will just not begin casting. Visa versa, the 1 second will likely go unnoticed or activates as as soon as he realizes the first raise didn't go off.

If you're a keyboard player, definitely consider adding more keybinds in easy to reach places. Manual control really is the way to go. I had a swift-raise macro when I was first starting out but like other said it's imprecise and will sometimes misfire.

Example, I use WASD + mouse rightclick for movement, and have keybinds to 1-5 Q E Z X C G and a side mouse button, all of those also with Alt and Shift. Explore with what's comfortable for you.

If you're a controller player... dunno what to tell you. No offense towards controllers but seems so impractical.
