Archers - New Tips and Tricks

[Nemo5990]

if you use macro's on archers your just garbage this is my setup for the dungeon this is in order of the my actions
i hope this comes out looking good

Action Bar11Lightshot 2multishot 3secondwind 4trammel 5heavytrammel 6puncture 7doomspike 8bloodletter 9ragingstrike 0ferocity

Bar2 1Heavyshot 2Trifurcate 3sacrifice/2 4cure2 5refill -_-' 6siphon-to 7invigorate 8foeseeker 9quickstride 0hawkseye

Bar31Closeshot 2raise/resurect 4gravity 6flashfreeze 7wideshot 8barrage 0punishing barbs

now i have some stuff mixed up here but the key is to have simlar archer actions under that way u get speed in the action bar also using heavy shot is just a icing for an extra attack every 30secs an as well as closeshot anything that can boost alittle bit of TP is good for archers now trifurcate is in bar 2 under multishot since it will only be used every 120secs when i dont have everything setup in proper spots just those are the actions u need to have good TP an attack i also have lancer 500tp moves they do great piercing damage which is an added effect to the attacks with an arrow its really good an also causes heavy on some mobs heavy effects what moves the mob can use like uraeus no body slam moves umm yea just learn to cycle those moves an you will be very happy as an archer

Really? I use a handful of macros on a regular basis.

Using a controller means that it's very easy to trigger the macro bars and pick something.

I can understand the need being reduced if you're keyb + mouse as you can navigate pretty well, but to call ARC's that use macro's "garbage" or "fail" suggests you're quite inflexible in how your job can be played. As they say, "there's more than one way to skin a cat". None of those methods are necessarily better than another, just different.
