Need Healer Macro Help

[Teraluna]

The Swift raise yes, kinda useful to say who you're raising
But the text should be at the very beginning of the macro to avoid double raise

Saying that you do it after casting it pointless, your co-heal might have Swift raise at the same time

...

The repose is only useful and working in pvp
There is no use in dungeon due to constant aoe

And who would Swift à cast like that ? If you have 1 target to stop just cast it.

Blimey glass half empty or what. Maybe put down a few of your macros instead to help the OP.

Well, as you already considered PvP.. it'd be very useful to swiftcast repose in PvP so you don't get interrupted doing that, and can keep moving.

Also, I don't like having swiftcast on my raise macro (which just is a macro to notify about raising), because I tend to switch targets quite quickly, and I can swiftcast before having the dead guy selected like this.

In my first post i advice avoiding Swift stoneskin II

And said that the only macro i got on my healer are support skill macro
Virus on focus target
And EfaE on target of my target if i'm off-heal in DPS mode to protect the tank

And recently i add one more useful macro
A recast one to remain my tank that some of my skill are in cooldown and pulling more will be deadly

...

@Vulcwen
Yeah agreed i'm missing a word in my sentence to say "the repose one" about the macro
In pvp instant sleep is good to avoid a crazy Monk or drg

Sorry if this comes across as negative OP, but you say you are new to healing...

well my advice to you is to not macro these things together, it may seem to make things a bit easier now, but in the long run you are better just building the muscle memory using these abilities separately.
Sure divine seal and med2 go nicely together, and a lot of the time you will use them together, but there also times that you might need to save that DS and an unbuffed med2 will do.

Outside of a very narrow handful of macros, most do not work particularly well in this game

Unless you playing on pc and using some mouseover macros, theres only one, that i can think of is sometimes useful, and that one is Asylum.

/micon Asylum
/ac Asylum <t>

basically it puts the Asylum down to your target, whether partymember or monster, it saves you prob some time but its only sometimes.
Theres also a notification macro for ressing, so your partner and you don't res someone twice, mind to use swiftcast before if you have it.

/micon Raise
/ac Raise <t>
/p Raising <t>

Otherwise i cant think of any usefull macros atm, unless you want to go with <tt> dps-macros so you dont need to swap targets, which still slows you down by half a second or so. Hope that helps.

Cheers,

I'd place the least important lines at the very bottom of the macro:
/action "Asylum" <t>
/macroicon "Asylum"

The macro reading speed is supposedly tied to your frame rate. Not like it matters much, but it's something!

I'd side with this generally.
Now I do have macros and a couple for me work well. Those tend to be Swiftcast + skill, (Res, Med II) which are used in oh heck situations.
But normal play is as you say, near automatic movements from hours & hours of playing.

On a side note OP, I have a programmable gaming mouse (7 buttons). Now this is an entirely personal choice of course, but for me it works wonders.
