Astrologian Macros

[Lyrica_Ashtine]

Plus, unless you're in a full RP group, spamming ability macros in pt chat is really distracting if the other people aren't in that line of thinking. Especially those that add sounds to them...

Oh please, spare the rest of the community with those. I've seen my share of sailor moon raise macro's

The only things I Macro as an AST are:
- Swiftcast + Ascend and a message saying who I am using it on
- Disable to affect my target or my target's target
- All of my damaging spells to affect my target or my target's target

Your card macros have problems for gamepad players using temporary targets with the target circle. Because <t> returns to the initial target after actions, two <t>s are not always the same. They can be fixed by exchanging the second line with the third line. It causes delay of actions by one frame, though.

AST macros I use are:
- <mo> macros for each single-target healing or buff action
- Discard macro (combined with Shuffle)
- /aaction macro (toggle cross-class actions)

That and it can break the ice in parties. My benediction one is "Using Benediction on <t>: I better not have wasted it on a #$% DRG!" and we all laugh. It lets also everyone know I have used that, so in a Tanks mind they will know "Okay he doesn't have bene..well..good for him."

I actually tried something similar for a time. I can see when people are slacking, and I thought this would be a polite way of nudging them. But as I continuously edited my macros, the comments became increasingly sarcastic and verbose...

/party Using Balance on <t>, who needs more help dealing damage than even I can provide.
/party Using Bole on <t>, who couldn't avoid an AOE puddle if it gave 24 hours notice.
/party Hi <t>, I just used Spire on you. As you probably noticed, Spire isn't contributing in any meaningful fashion. You and Spire probably have a lot to talk about.

I stopped doing it. Mostly.

Ah man. Wait til you join my group in dungeon finders. I channel cheese one liners from captain planet. The power is yours. ....

The only macros I use are timer macros for Draw, Shuffle and Spread so I get an echo alert of when I can next draw a card. Otherwise...yea, AST doesn't really need party-macros outside of Disable and Ascend.

[Archvile78]

Yep, discard is the is the only macro I use, aside from a standard Disable <t> <tt> target macro.

Ideally one can click-off a "bad" card but having one button to trash it is way simpler to use. (/statusoff)

For the longest time i was clicking off the "bad" cards myself ,despite being on PS4, but it was always a risky thing in the middle of action (say, the chances of clicking off a buff, etc) so the discard macro is a blessing.

The only macros I ever use for AST are as follows:

raise macro, with <t>
Macro with double sfx for when I drop bubble
Time Dilation macro to let the other AST know who's getting their 1 minute 20sec Balance / Arrow buff.
(insert cheesy Yu-Gi-Oh! one liner here)

I had once a macro to remove every card. Today, the only card I remove using the macro is spire. I can find a good use for every card, but spire, sometimes, is so useless that I have to remove it... T^T

every single raise macro that isn't just saying raising <t> makes me roll my eyes so much. none of them are remotely funny and make me cringe hard.
