Thread: 2.16 macro change

For SCHs, I'm assuming this change is actually a good thing because we had to macro our pet heals like this -

/ac Physick <t>
/pac Embrace <t>
/ac Physick <me>
/pac Embrace <me>

The problem with that was if we pressed the macro earlier than it came off GCD, it healed us instead even though the target was in range. That occurred because the macro automatically selects the second command line if the first one isn't available. So if we press it a little too soon like a split second, it triggered the second command line to heal us instead. That was really annoying!

So now after this patch, I can simply have it to -

/ac Physick <t>
/pac Embrace <t>

At least it won't trigger to heal me if I press it too soon before it comes off GCD. The macro will simply get cancelled altogether, at least that's what I am assuming. Haven't tested yet. For you WHMs, I guess it's a bad change because you don't have to deal with double commands like SCHs. Just make sure you're in range before healing, that isn't rocket science to figure out. When you start casting on someone and they move out, you still get a cast completed on them - unless they move waay too far out which is only possible if they were on run speed. Otherwise, it will work regardless. Also most fights are small arenas anyway like the primals and coil turns. You will always be in range there. It's only the CT that has large boss arenas, so be careful there. Though I still wouldn't worry because that place is a joke to heal.
