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
