WHM Macros

[Risvertasashi]

I understood it perfectly well. I'm simply pointing out that I've never had anyone with a raise macro provide me with adequate warning so that I don't waste at least Swiftcast. The concept behind it (preventing double-raises) just doesn't seem to work because of the delay on queuing skills in a macro. Perhaps it works well for when your co-healers have slower reaction times; I don't know.

It wasn't aimed at you specifically. But to answer your post, cohealers that work together often, will often work out a soft raise order. And if one healer doesn't raise within a few seconds (perhaps busy healing, low on MP, whatever), then the other healer or SMN will then proceed.

If 2+ people pop SC the very second someone dies--not even voice comms have that little latency.

It has nothing to do with any "delay" on a macro. Macro or not, you have to wait for the swiftcast animation to finish. If both healers have the same "reflexes", the resses will go off at the same time and it wouldn't have been prevented if neither healer had an announce macro.

And to reiterate what Vanille said: It's not a race.
