Show your Macros!

[Vejjiegirl]

Whether they are useful, pure laziness, or just for fun Macros add a wonderful Quality of life in any MMORPG that supports them.

Lets take the time to make one big Macro Mega thread to show off some of the useful or quirky macros you have created!

I'll start with a few of my own macros, which are mostly targeted in helping Black Mages however I'll add one fun one at the end.

Aetheral Manipulation Macro

A very useful Macro for Leviathan EX this macro will help you keep moving during Body slams and keep the fire flowing!
The macro is designed to select the closest Player Character and use the Ability Aetheral Manipulation. After the skill is used and
you successfully teleported it will then select your last enemy target (leviathan). This Macro can also work outside Leviathan but it is
pretty buggy in large raids such as Crystal Tower, since it will teleport you to other alliance members.

/wait 29
/echo ☆ Aether Recharge complete ☆
----------------------

Continuous Sprint

Very handy for Black Mages. Although I don't use this one a lot it is useful when running dungeons like Brayflox where you are always on the move.
The macro will activate sprint and then after 30 seconds reactivate sprint again. You will be using sprint a total of 7 times before having to restart the macro.
again.

Libra

This is a macro I rarely use, but its kind of fun. I set it so everytime I use Blizzard III it will report back recast timers for various skills,
My Current HP and MP, and my current target. When the recast timer says (-.-) or (0:00) it means it is ready to be used.

Its a very useful macro to have when you play with your hotbars turned off (like I do)

Blizzard III Libra

/macroicon "Blizzard III"
/ac "Blizzard III"
/echo Casting Libra Please wait...

Hot-Bar Sorting

With these macros you will be able to sort your hotbar with the flick of a button. It is a very useful macro for quick hotbar sorting when entering a low level roulette, or pvp.

Keep in mind the examples below is my set up and it can change from player to player. Before getting into the macro itself i'll give you a break down of the hotbar command.

/hotbar action "skill" #? #?
In bold are commands that always stay the same.

The first thing you will want to do is specify the skill that will
be replaced. The skill goes between the quotations, so for example "Fire III"

The first #? is the hotbar number, so for example #1 is hotbar 1

The second #? is the slot number in the hotbar, so for example #2 is slot 2.

I'll give you some examples below of how my Hot-Bar sorting is like.





Low Level Dungeon Hot-Bar (Low level Roulette)

/macroicon "Baby Behemoth" Minion
/hotbar action "Blizzard" #1 #1
/hotbar action "scathe" #1 #4

/hotbar action "Sleep" #1 #7
/hotbar action "Physick" #1 #8
/hotbar action "Fire II" #2 #1
/hotbar action "thunder II" #2 #3
/hotbar action "Quelling Strikes" #2 #6
----------------------




High Level Dungeon Hot-Bar (Hard/Expert level Roulette, Coil)
----------------------
/macroicon "Behemoth" Mount
/hotbar action "Blizzard III" #1 #1
/hotbar action "thunder II" #1 #5
/hotbar action "transpose" #1 #6
/hotbar action "Sleep" #1 #7
/hotbar action "Physick" #1 #8
/hotbar action "Hawk's Eye" #2 #1
/hotbar action "Aetherial Manipulation" #2 #3
/hotbar action "Quelling Strikes" #2 #6
----------------------




PvP Hot-Bar

/hotbar action "Purify" #1 #8
/hotbar action "Night Wing" #2 #1
/hotbar action "Sleep" #2 #3
/hotbar action "Equanimity" #2 #6
----------------------

The Final Count Down!

Use this macro during Crystal Tower vs King Behemoth. When King Behemoth shouts "GWRAAAAAAAAR" use it then!

[HakuroDK]

I have a few minor Quality of Life macros.

For most of my melee classes/jobs, I have a macro I call "Chakra", due to first developing it when I was playing MNK.
/micon "Second Wind"
/ac Mantra <me>
/ac Convalescence <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Second Wind" <me>

Mantra and Convalescence are stacked like that not because they're both used, but because when one of my classes/jobs has one, it usually doesn't have the other. (i.e. My MNK uses Mantra, my WAR uses Convalescence.)

Then I have a classic all-cooldowns macro called "Blessing of Azeyma". It excludes some obvious technical cooldown buffs (Berserk, Perfect Balance, Infuriate, etc.), but I just stack "/ac "skill" <me>" for every cooldown buff in my arsenal, and I'm always adding to it every time I unlock more so I can use it with more and more jobs/classes in exactly the same fashion.

[ispano]

/ac Mantra <me>
/ac Convalescence <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Second Wind" <me>

Just so you know, Second Wind isn't considered healing Magic and as such is unaffected by either of those.

[HakuroDK]

Just so you know, Second Wind isn't considered healing Magic and as such is unaffected by either of those.

Oh, I know. But if my HP gets low, it helps the healers out tremendously. Mantra/Convalescence to buff healing and Second Wind to pad my HP a bit.

Note : Macro could misalign if copied and pasted over to your macro list.

[peaches]

I wasn't that big into macros for the longest time but I've been getting more into them lately. Keep in mind these probably aren't done completely properly, its just based off memory.

On my BLM my favourite macro is for Aetherial Manipulation. I play using a gamepad so it can be annoying to target a friendly party member and use it (Yes I know I can just press Up or Down on the D-Pad without changing my target but in the heat of the battle you just need to PRESS BUTTON NOW and dodge out of stuff).

I just set it to Focus Target. I pick someone at the start of the dungeon/raid/primal, usually who ever looks the most experienced usually based off their comments or their gear, and usually a healer or the off tank. I'll change it mid battle if they get hit too much.

/macroicon "Aetherial Manipulation"
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <f>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <t>


For my Scholar I have Embrace macro'd for standard use and to be efficient in Leviathan Ex. Basically I have the primary target the Focus Target, so I can heal the MT while spamming my Embrace macro and power heals to the OT without getting the healing debuff. The only times I ever get it is if I accidentally clip the OT with an AoE heal.

/macroicon "Embrace"
/pac "Embrace" <f>
/pac "Embrace" <t> (I can't remember if I have a <tt> after this or not)
/pac "Embrace" (this one is because sometimes outside a dungeon I like to spam my heal and Embrace and see how my heals add up, and she won't do Embrace without this line)


I also have EVERY dps ability on my Scholar tied to Embrace. This is great in any dungeon, especially low level ones though so I can DPS and not have to heal once if things go well. It's tied to focus target

/macroicon "bio"/"bio2"/"miasma"/"ruin"
/ac "bio"/"bio2"/"miasma"/"ruin" <t>
/ac "bio"/"bio2"/"miasma"/"ruin" <tt> (if I decide to DPS without un-selecting my tank)
/pac "embrace" <f>
/pac "embrace" <t>


I'm sure there's a ton more but it's all I feel like typing now (and all I can remember atm sadly :P), I'll probably update later.

@Kinnison I'll be stealing those two now, thanks! =D

Iirc, you can add your /wait to the same line of your macros now with <wait.##> (or something similar). So your sprint macro could now last 14 sprints before you'd need to refresh it

Wow thats awsome! I had no idea.
Time to edit a few things !!

[alhandra]

i like to macro my warrior buffs, being a console player its kind of a pain to manage all those buffs and have an easily accessible hotbar for weapon combos. i just find buffs that share the same recast timers and stack em together.

/macroicon "Thrill of Battle"
/ac "Thrill of Battle" <me>
/wait 1
/ac Convalescence <me>

or

/macroicon Infuriate
/ac Infuriate <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Internal Release" <me>

i have others but thats pretty much the general idea. i also use all the standard macro's that any good sch/smn should use
