Ah... Well, I won't be able to post on here much longer (someone remind me to make a video of all my macros so that I can remember to post up my macros later-though they are slightly outdated).

But a few tips:

Set up your target filters carefully. You will want very specific filters eventually so that each filter targets a different set of players. That combined with up and down for selecting your party makes it very easy to pinpoint target exactly what you want without taking a long time.

One of the macros I use is literally assist. All it does is switch my target to my target's current target. Why is this important? Speed and control.

I of course have other macros as well, such as a macro for telling my tank that they lost aggro and what they lost aggro on-because for some reason, even in end game content, there are some tanks that don't know when they lost aggro on a mob.

Another tip I have is learn to set up macros that maximize your potential.

For example, I have a macro that places my pet. Eventually, I'd like to modify it so that the same macro will also have my pet 'heel' but that will have to wait since that macro is currently overloaded. In other words, the macro already does so much that I can't add anything else to it.

Once you learn how to set up macros, they will make your life much easier.

Also, when casting a skill from a macro, specifically for things like Benediction or Raise, make sure you call that skill more than once. The reason is that macros don't work with the skill queue. The work around is to have a wait 1 and then call the skill about 3-4 times depending. This way, you can have say...


=Rock a by baby= (Repose. also used for BLM sleep)
/macroicon "Repose"
/focustarget
/mk bind3
/ac "Repose" <f>
/p <se.7> <f>, You seem exhausted, why not (sleep) for a while?
/wait
/ac "Repose" <f>
/wait
/ac "Repose" <f>
/wait
/ac "Repose" <f>

This way, instead of spamming the button and having "<se.7> <f>, You seem exhausted, why not (sleep) for a while?" appear over and over again....

It appears once and every second for three seconds, it will try to cast repose.

Also, healers and tanks tend to find it very easy to level quickly with daily roulette (you can usually get the adventurer bonus some time each day, when depends on which role).

Best way to force one class up is to play as that class almost exclusively (Make sure you do your other classes for their skills and for class change, such as stoneskin and protect for CNJ, Swiftcast for THM, and Eye for an eye and Virus for ARC.)

Then you just spam fates, hunts, and dungeons for exp. ALWAYS eat food. If you want, take a look at my more personal blog. especially the brief leveling tips part.
