    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.
