General question for Macros

[RaphaelDDL]

Hi there,

I was doing some macros for me but I ended up with some doubts.

One macro I made was:

/ac "Windbite"
/ac "Bloodletter"
/ac "Venomous Bite"

But the game was trying to cast them one after another not respecting the queue.
So I ended doing something like:

/ac "Windbite"
/wait 2
/ac "Bloodletter"
/wait 1
/ac "Venomous Bite"

Which worked (even though most of times, if I'm moving while shooting, Venomous Bite fails for no reason).


So I was reading all topics that talk about macros and found this post specially nice (since I'm BRD).

/micon "Heavy Shot"
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>
/ac "Heavy Shot" <t>
/ac "Misery's End" <tt>
/ac "Bloodletter" <tt>
/ac "Heavy Shot" <tt>

Does I really need <t> or is implicit that is my target when using?
And wouldn't this try cast one on top of another, not respecting the GCD also (generating cast errors then)?

Thanks for the replies.
Regards

I've found a website that explains about it: http://katella.wordpress.com/katella.../ffxiv-macros/
Seems it's called "Context Sensitive Macros".

great explaining on it.

Yes u have to have it exactly like that with the <t> bc that t changes to the mobs name so u can actually target it. It used to be worse in ff11 so ur lucky lol.
