Can someone help me with macros?

[Shioban]

As DRG I just want a small macro like:

Power Surge and then Jump

or

Heavry Strike and then Blood for Blood

as an example for DRG. For gathering I would just like to be able to target a point, and let it out "auto-gather", or set some easy one cor CRP when I want to make low level stuff that doesnt need my attention.

It's important to remember that you HAVE to have a wait in your macros, this might not be ideal for you so consider it carefully;

I really DO NOT recommend doing these, it's much better for you to click/select/press these actions and then the corresponding buttons on your own as you won't have to then wait for the 1.3-2 second gap between them.

/ac "Powersurge" <me> <wait.1>
/ac "Jump" <t>

---------

/ac "Heavy Thrust" <t>
/ac "Blood for Blood" <me>

---------

There are no auto-gathering macros (however you might want a macro for your gathering buffs just use the;

/ac "Ability name" <me> <wait.1>
/ac "Ability name" <me> <wait.1>

However for crafting, for example when I make food on Culinarian;

/ac "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <me><wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me>

I use the following to pretty much guarantee (for me) a 100% HQ item.

However, each crafting class has its own abilities, depending on what you have leveled you might have;

"Waste Not" or "Piece by Piece" which are more sensible and beneficial to use.

Basicly you're macroing what you do normally and just pressing a button to let it do it for you, so craft an item



(MAKE SURE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CONDITION, if you get an 'Good/Excellent' quality boost, your synth isn't going to be your average synth so consider this went testing your average rotation)



ALWAYS OVER COMPENSATE
Use every last drop of durability you have increasing the quality even if it gets 100% BEFORE you use it, there's an off change you might get a 'Poor' condition or a failed action so compensating for these is important.


Macro Icon

Another usefull thing is; /macroicon "Ability Name"

What this does is, the macro icon will take into account let say for example 'Provoke's icon AND its cooldown timer;

/macroicon "Provoke"
/ac "Provoke" <t>
/p <se.10> Provoking <t> !

With the first line, the icon will now have the original provoke icon along with the cooldown timer (where-as without /macro icon "Provoke" there would be no visible cooldown timer on the icon)

As you can see with the image below the Alt+2 button I have has no /macroicon, therefore it has no cooldown where as Ctrl+2's provoke has /macroicon;
