Was there a macro editor somewhere? I remember seeing something like that but don't remember where.

In order to pull off a successful combo, do you need to match both the Combo WS and the Combo Direction? If this is the case then I'll probably line the abilities next to each other instead of making macros for it. Monsters and people move too much to rely on a macro to pull off these combos ^^;

Thanks more so for compiling all the combos and their effects though, saves me a lot of time in trying to make heads or tails of the abilities when they launch.

you also have to worry about if you miss, so the combo doesn't work. This is assuming of course that they made it not 100% accuracy like now.

And I believe the direction of the ws's just add extra effects, they dont need to be like that for the combo.

If a skill told you a direction to get the combo, then you have to or it won't work. You'll be unable to use any combo.
I did try as pug.

Yes direction of attack must be fulfilled as well in order to combo.

I'm cautious to use these as full macros, since they miss a bit too often for my liking. Considering the long recast on the higher ws' it might be better to reload the starter ws in some cases and restart the combo rather than use up your tp and stronger ws' as single actions.

[Skeptic]

I would NOT use these macros. the game is situational and mobs have a tendency to reposition themselves often. missing, and locking yourself out of one of your T3 combos because you didnt give yourself enough time to get into position or it fired off too early is a MASSIVE loss in DPS. besides, with the reworking of abilities there shoulf be no reason you can not just set up your bar correctly and smash through your combos. you have plenty of time to link them anyway.

use <st> instead of <t>

you must confirm the action before it fires this way.

You could do this but it doesn't solve the problem of your /wait times varying, i.e. mob hate changes to mages so you have to run over there, get into position then fire off combo (Moogle is a good example). To short of a wait will end the macro, to long of a wait and it will slow your DPS if the situation were opposite. In my opinion, combo macros are better suited to be used directly from AB. It's to much of a restraint using macros for combos when they're not always timed consistently.
