    You spam the hotkey twice to get them activated. That is my macro command. Don't know about hos.

    That's pretty much how mine works, I'd suggest doing it like this so you can see the cooldown on Bane:

    /macroicon "Bane"
    /ac "Bane" <t>
    /pac "Aerial Slash" <t>

    Also unlike many macros where you can get around a wait timer with a double press, i don't think that's necessary with a single action / petaction combo- I just did some experiments to confirm that. With Garuda there's always that wait for her to stop auto attacking and kick off Aerial Slash but it goes off the same with a single button press. I thought that perhaps it was just if using an Instant and with a cast I'd have to double press but confirmed otherwise on Scholar with a Physick/Embrace combo like the macro above: right after the Physick cast started on my part, Eos kicked off Embrace and they casted simultaneously.

    /micon "virus"
    /ac "eye for an eye" <tt>
    /ac virus <t>
    A fun little macro to use before big hits like death sentence in T5.

    Ah thanks for reminding me I do have an Eye for an Eye macro I use on every class I've cross-classes this ability to, though it does work a bit differently. My personal preference is not to tie Virus to anything else because of the associated immunity that follows where it can't be used again by anyone else for however long. Otherwise in other fights I might cast Virus at an inopportune time and have a pissed off Scholar on my hands. But situationally what you described makes sense if you have room on your keyboard for it or if using a controller swap it out on your crossbar before/after the fight.

    What mine does is cast Eye for an Eye on party slot 2, which is where I have my main tank by default. In parties of 8 I swap slots 2 and 3 if the tank in slot 2 ends up being OT. Doing 'target of target' as you have it is a good option as well, perhaps better and I might change mine, I just went with the slot 2 approach for when I want to cast it right before a big pull where maybe the tank hasn't been targeted yet. But your approach makes it easier to cast situationally. Either way, using <tt> and party slot numbers is great for when you want to be able to cast something without retargeting manually. I'm new at the healer role and being able to flip crossbars to one that has macros like /ac "Physick" <3> and /ac "Physick" <4> were lifesavers when it comes to quickly healing targets other than the tank, who was already <t> or <tt>, without having to change targets.

    Here's my version:

    /macroicon "Eye for an Eye"
    /ac "Eye for an Eye" <2>

    My Summoner Macros

    Dot combo - follow with Fester for single targets or Bio for AOE.
    Fill in the dots as needed with your non-macro ones.

    /macroicon "Bio II"
    /ac "Raging Strikes" <me><wait>
    /ac "Quelling Strikes" <me><wait>
    /ac "Bio II" <t><wait.2.5>
    /ac "Miasma" <t><wait.2.5>
    /ac "Bio" <t><wait.0.5>
    /pac "Contagion" <t>

    Garuda Summon, handy to have in combat.

    /macroicon Summon
    /ac Swiftcast <me><wait.1>
    /ac Summon <me><wait.1.5>
    /pac Obey

    Every summoner should have this rez macro. Lets the party know so healers don't blow their swift. Has fail safe.

    /macroicon Resurrection
    /p Using Swiftcast / Resurrection on <t> <se.1>
    /ac Swiftcast <me><wait.1>
    /ac Resurrection <mo>
    /ac Resurrection <t> <wait.1.5>
    /ac Resurrection <mo>
    /ac Resurrection <t>

    Garuda/Titan works for both.

    /macroicon "Enkindle"
    /ac "Rouse" <me><wait.0.5>
    /ac "Spur" <me><wait.0.5>
    /ac "Enkindle" <t><wait.2.5>
    /pac "Aerial Slash" <t>
    /pac "Mountain Buster" <t>

    Let me know if you'd like more!

    while the use of macros can be helpful, you end up doing less damage that way. in some cases, that loss of damage can make or break an encounter.

    This tells a lot about what you've been saying in the DPS meter topic though.

    That and the All-In-One Fester macro are actually pretty laughable. This comes off as no surprise though.

    Oh here's another handy one I made... once again one I'd consider a must have for summoner:

    /macroicon "Sic" pet
    /pac Sic
    /pac Obey

    This is especially handy with Titan.
    Sometimes you want your pet to attack first, but you don't want it to auto attack and blow it's skills.
    This makes it so your pet will attack your target but stay in the "Obey" stance for using skills.

    To be honest, I think an "Attack" button like this should have already been made on the pet bar.
