Thread: [Devs] 3x Skill bars in 2.0

Then its fine. I took bad idea from the screen, please these who call me troll go troll somewhere else. And this thread can be closed.

Thank you Betelgeuzah for put the things in the right place.

It is if you played with the wait command between menu actions (ATB) off.

As a tank class job you need to be able to target monsters first, over anything else. The only mode that allows you to do this is /tmode b with enemy targeting as the selected option. The Function key that was designed to target the mob closest to you does not work. /btmode on only works for enemies you actually have enmity from. Direct targeting, which is supposed to target the closest monster to you does not work either.

As I mentioned above, and since you don't have a tanking class at level 50 to really see what I'm talking about it isn't as simple as you make it out, especially since most high level groupings now are multi-monster fights.

Since we both know you haven't spoken to most Final Fantasy fans, this statement is pure fallacy.

Again I'll respond like I did previously, that this statement is a fallacy. On top of that as my MRD I have a total of 22 Abilities I use at all times. If you are only using 10 to 15 of your skills repeatedly then in my honest opinion you aren't playing to your full potential.

I have learned. Thanks for making another assumption.

This made me laugh, it reminds me the way children retaliate when they know they made a mistake.

There is a target function in the keyboard config which target only monsters no matter what the current target filter is.
Cycle through enemies: T
Cycle through enemies (reverse): Shift + T

Or change the key setting for toggle target filter to
Toggle target filter: Shift + ↓
Toggle target filter (reverse): Shift + ↑

This just proves my point. Thanks for the laugh Troll Trollerson.

Thanks for the info Skadi I will have to give this a try and see if this helps. Here is a question for you though does it work like /tmode b (enemy) setting? Without having to set tmode?

I shouldn't have to create workarounds (ie macros) to fix a broken interface.

Macros are the essence of Final Fantasy XI and unrealized in Final Fantasy XIV. Macros are essential for unique characterization. Adding emotes and texts to make your actions more personable.

MACROS ARE NOT WORKAROUNDS!

Shudder to think someone would call them a workaround. Most people who ENJOY Final Fantasy play extensively with macros.
