    I REALLY dislike unnecessary sayings in macros. Fights get hectic enough without them...

    I find it so odd that it's a lot more acceptable here but in FFXI it was completely frowned upon to add fluff to your macros.

    My raise macro is simple;

    /p MP:<mp> HP:<hp> Raising <t>!

    XI didn't exactly have a large chat display window or resolution. (Also I personally love seeing people's variants on Raise and Provoke macros)

    Also if you dislike unnecessary info in macros we really don't need to know what your MP or HP are on cast unless you're calling for a mana song.

    Also, an FC buddy who does Summoner uses this macro:
    "{Ressurection} on <t>! Welp, there goes my DPS."

    And that is exactly why it's in there. Why have TWO different raise macros; one for when I need ballad one for when I don't? No, just have one simple one that states it in ONE line that way the BRD can see what I need without me having to take my keys off of my spells to type out "Hey, ballad pls"

    So do you use your Raise macro to call for Manasong if you're not raising? (It still doesn't explain the HP being present either)

    I'm kind of genuinely curious here because if a Bard isn't looking at your MP to begin with I doubt throwing two strings of numbers into party chat is actually going to get their attention.

    One that I came across was "wake up (insert name)! we still have sh*t to kill!" lol

    and "GET TO THA CHOPPA!" this one isn't rez macro but I thought it was funny. Used when we had to stack up somewhere to avoid aoe damage like in Syrcus tower.

    Raise macros are important, but "funny" macros are almost never actually funny. Even the ones that are genuinely funny are funny a maximum of one time, before their repetition just makes them annoying.

    I think is more annoying the people dying multiple times in same duty.
