Theres not enough macro space to play Ninja.

I am not talking about Focus Target @-@.... You can still doing all that with your focus target on da bos.....

[Lord_Zlatan]

haven't used a single macro in this game... I can't imagine that you actually NEED all of those.. >.>

Macros in XI HELPED with DPS because they allowed for you to gear swap. It is also the only way to keybind abilities, so if you don't have an ability macroed you have to navigate the menus to trigger it. XIV puts all your abilities right in front of you in a clickable and bindable fashion and has no gear swapping. Even XI had the /wait limitations but you couldn't always manually trigger abilities that fast anyways due to long cast times or needing to jump to a different menu.

I don't understand why this thread is even a thing. You know how many macros I have on my ninja? ONE. It's a mouse over Goad macro that's legitimately the only macro I use. The only good macros in FFXIV are utility macros such as mouseovers for things like apocistatis, goad, and target of target macros for things like virus and eye for an eye. This game isn't FFXI stop using macros STOP SUCKING AT THE GAME!!!!

You can easily put similar actions in the same macro. For example the basic 3 GCD combo from each class could be in their own macro each. So for example:

/ac "Dragoon Combo #1" <t>
/ac "Ninja Combo #1" <t>
/ac "Monk Combo #1" <t>

The macro will fire off whatever macro is available as long as there is no wait in between them.

Precisely

My reaction to this entire thread:

[Crystus]

it's not there isn't enough Marcos, it's that you are using too many macros. I am willing to bet 70% of the macros you are using would be better off dumped.

also you only use 12 buttons on your gamepad? how lazy are you? and how bad of a player are you that you use so many macros? I use all 16 buttons and sometimes more. I also have all jobs to lv 110 and I only have maybe 15 macros and the ones I have are things like "swiftcast/res" for sch and whm. or to announce when I use certain skills.
