    Please Implement Placement Macros for Ground-Targeting Abilities

    It would be wonderful if abilities like Flaming Arrow and Sacred Soil could be macro'd to activate under your target. For mouse/keyboard players it's not much of an issue but for players using a controller it becomes more difficult.

    Currently all we have is /ac "Flaming Arrow" and then we have to guide the circle to where we want it but it's much more difficult to maneuver and quite a bit slower to do on the console versions.

    Implementing /ac "Flaming Arrow" <t> or /ac "Flaming Arrow" <gt> (ground-target to specify/differentiate) would be much appreciated.

    Support this 100%. I would argue this is particularly important for LB since they take so long to go off. Combine that time with the time to target and it's very easy to die before LB goes off.

    You can activate a ground target action from a macro, but the macro continues to proceed without waiting for the user's input. I would expect it to suspend any further actions until the user has placed the ground the target.

    I suggested this for casters lb long ago as well, and I fully agree with the other examples you gave, current design is ancient.....and as usual, clunky.
    Should really be implemented asap.

    Or go under your target by default and use a macro to specify when you want to (as now) select a different ground target.

    I would kill to be able to macro shunkuchi to instantly pop max distance in the direction I'm facing. It would make the skill actually useful for once.
