Mouseover Macros

[giantslayer]

I macro a bunch of abilities just for that utility - Embrace and Lustrate on Scholar, Draw on Astrologian, and every variation on Esuna. Also Goad on Rogue, for that matter.

Macros are not always the evil Whatever-Per-Second loss that they are made out to be. If you use them for utility rather than automation, they can prove invaluable.

Most of my SCH abilities are on macros and I agree they are incredibly useful if you do them right, but Lustrate is the one ability I would never ever macro. That is the one ability I need to be able to hit as quickly as humanly possible in a "oh s---" moment and have it work reliably. The thing with using macros is it requires a certain degree of disciplined timing, which is fine on most things, but not on your "oh s---" button.

Au contraire, I macro'd Lustrate precisely so I could use it quickly. Whatever works for you, of course; but my cursor is already firmly glued to the party list so I can drop Leeches/spam Embrace without needing to switch targets, and Lustrate is a natural extension of that. The only issue I get regularly is the target being out of range.
