SMN Macros?

[Deifact]

Just some added info. Fairly certain the wait command only supports full seconds. So 2.5 wouldn't work as a command.

I remember reading it works to the first decimal place. I may be mistaken though.

I still use macro's for each egi ability so 1 macro will try to use the first ability each egi has and will obviously only fire off the current active Egis ability. It's easier than having macro's for each pet ability individually.

I took a long break though so there might be a generic "pet ability 1" "pet ability 2" etc. Macro

Any kind of help will be appreciated <3

If you want to do very good damage, I would get used to not replying on macro's like this.

Also, learn when you should be using Bane, Fester and Virus, as that 2nd macro is really messy imo. (meaning I have no idea when you would be wanting to use the skills in that order)

For soloing big things at low level:
/micon "Physick"
/ac "Physick" <pet>

I have one Raise/Resurrection macro for WHM/SCH/SMN:
/micon "Swiftcast"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Resurrection" <mo>
/ac "Raise" <mo>
/ac "Resurrection" <t>
/ac "Raise" <t>

Very rare occasion that you'll need to toss a heal out but when you do:
/macroicon "Physick"
/ac "Physick" <mo>
/ac "Physick" <t>

Pet buffer (I see some people putting Enkindle at the end but I prefer a separate button):
/micon "Rouse"
/ac "Rouse" <me>
/ac "Spur" <me>

Standard:
/micon "Shadow Flare"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Shadow Flare" <me>

Otherwise I also put in Raging Strikes with my rotation starter. I also agree with others not to macro attacks with other attacks. The wait time in between them may not seem like much but with it rounding up to 3 seconds you're losing half a second. That's one cast every 5 casts that your missing out on. Not very noticeable on trash but bosses it starts rearing its ugly head. This is before counting any spell speed buffs you get from your gear or from SCH.

Bane can add Garuda's Aerial Slash to
/micon Bane
/pac "Aerial Slash" <t>
/ac "Bane" <t>

Never knew that. Thanks!

shadow flare, res, summons. The only things you should be macroing if you intend to play endgame. Do not use macros in coil for any active attack skill or buff.

If you're just doing smn for dungeons or random other stuff then it doesn't matter much.

Definitely no need to Macro Skills on Summoner other than <tt> for Virus and E4E and SC for SF and Raise. Making macros for pet skills and Place is a good idea too. I line my pet bar up with my action bar but will occasionally click Away by accident.

[Katehasfangz]

Yeah, i didn't make the macros, my BF was trying to 'help me' hence this post was made.

Is there a good rotation i should use to up my DPS?

[Judge_Xero]

There isn't really a rotation. You just want to make sure your DoTs are up on as many mobs as you can. Cast Bane to spread them to up to 3 other mobs within range.
Using Garudas Contagion to extend their timers before Baning is ideal as well as using Raging Strikes while placing them.
Bio 2, Miasma, Bio is the ideal order to place the DoTs if you are spreading them.
Make sure to use Garuda on Obey to make the most of her skills.
Don't use Miasma II on single target unless you can extend it with Contagion.
That's mostly it other than just learning the fights and knowing when to make the best use of your skills and Pet skills.

Eeew, sequence macros for SMN? Good lord... The combat is boring enough spamming Ruin I as is... Now, you truly wish to just stand there? Well, don't expect maximum DPS from cruise control lol.

There isn't much spamming of Ruin considering it's around 15% of our damage only.

When there's no DoTs to refresh and Aetherflow is down there's really not much to do then spam ruin
