Ps4 controller protip

In case anyone doesnt know about this I thought I'd share with you all.

You know those abilities you need on the fly but not necessarily all the time so you don't want to have them up on your main crossbar. For example monks meditation, tornado kick. Warriors defiance and deliverance.

You can simply tie them to L3 and R3 (push button) using a macro.

Step 1. Map the controller buttons to macro
System Configuration>controller settings>controller customization
L3=execute macro #98
R3= execute macro #99

Step 2. Create the macros
Using the examples above for monk and warrior, which are the only ones I use. These are my current macros

#98 L3
_______________
/ac "tornado kick"
/ac "defiance"

#99 R3
______________
/ac "meditation"
/ac "deliverance"

Each different class I use static placed hotbars to show the cooldowns for each ability. I imagine if you have more abitilities to add you can just keep going down the list.

I use it for assist(L3) Sprint and Mount (R3) but kind of you to show newer players!
Suggestion for this macro if someone out there would like to use it to mount/Sprint:

I changed my L3 to assist. (I main healer)
R3 you can change to macro #99.


A simple Sprint macro is just
/ac Sprint

A more complex Sprint macro is

/ac sprint <t>
/mount "Main Mounts name"
/mount "Backup Mounts name"
/ac Sprint

[if the company Chocobo is not your main mount place it in the backup slot. If it is your main mount put your runner up, for when your choco is stabled]

What this does is:
[*]It lets you Sprint towards something without attempting to mount if you target anything, even yourself.
[*]It will have you mount if Sprint is on CD or if you're not targeting anything.
[*]It will summon your chocobo companion as a mount instead of your default, so you don't get an error while he is summoned for combat.
[*]It will also summon your backup mount when your chocobo is stabled, if he is your default mount.
[*]Finally, Sprint is repeated at the end so that if you are In a place where your mount is forbidden and you aren't targeting anything, it will have you Sprint.

Figuring this out has made my hotbar much more enjoyable.

Since i'm a melee, I keep L3 as my draw weapon since I also have it to switch crossbars and R3 as lock-on. I used to have R3 as sprint, but it was ultimately pointless, especially since you can't bind macros to other buttons.

[Jim_Berry]

I used to have R3 as my Ninjutsu, but I have took it off since I was so used to pressing a face button for it, thus causing me to get the "Rabbit".

Macro to target Focus Target by pressing R3 or L3
Really handy, I use this constantly.

you can also draw your weapon by holding L1 and pressing R1

[NovaLevossida]

I found the most useful thing to put on R3 was the face target function. That prevents a lot of interrupted spells.

[monkeyFDragon]

I put Sprint and mount on a main crossbar that is share between classes. I wish the buttons were all customizable because it would be nice to use r1 for Sprint and l1 for mount. For melee Sprint isn't really something I would want to do anytime as it drains tp to zero.

[Fevelle]

I use L3 for marking mobs and R3 for mount. The less used skills are always on a third hotbar acessed only via R1+X.

yea i use L3 as assist too, reli reli helpful this way, R3 tho, i have been thinking alot, but at the end i decided to use it for looking at the camera........

HOWEVER
