SCH: E4E + Adlo + Deployment Tactics macro

[Ftienbr]

Hello. Can anyone help get my Macro to work? somehow I am not being able to cast E4E on this macro, it goes straight to Adlo + Deployment.

/ac "Eye for an Eye"<t>
<wait.1>
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
<wait. 1>
/ac "Deployment Tactics" <t>

It's my first macro I didn't copied, so I'm probably messing up somewhere.

Also sorry if this is not the right place to post this.

Thanks in advance.

You need a 2 or 3 second wait after Adloquium. The cast time is somewhere around 1.93s, so deployment tactics can't go off while you're casting. Also, make sure you keep the same person targeted while this is going off otherwise it won't work as intended.

In general any macro of this type, that tries to combine multiple abilities into a single button, is going to get you some massive backlash. They either fail (like what you're experiencing, and I have no idea why it's doing that; E4E is the one part of that that looks like it should work properly), or they're extremely inefficient because macros don't allow fractional wait times, so it's impossible to properly ride the GCD when you have a macro running like that.

Also, your <wait.#>s can be inline with the previous command, after the targeting modifier. They don't need their own line. and you have an extra space in the second one that I'm pretty sure would break it.

I would advise against this because the more moving parts you add, the more likely the machine is to break.

But if you insist on doing it anyway, do it with the target <2> or <4> so everything is guaranteed to target the same party member (pick whatever party slot your tank should be). Adloquium has a 2s base cast time. The wait after it will need to be at least 2, and sometimes even then, Tactics can fail if it's not a wait.3.

If waits are on their own lines, it's
/wait #

Use <wait.#> at the end of other lines to use half as many lines.


(Aside: a space won't break a <wait>. <wait.(space)1> is actually fine)

Fixed it maybe?

/ac "Eye for an Eye"<t> <wait.1>
/ac "Adloquium" <t> <wait.3>
/ac "Deployment Tactics" <t>

You forgot to account for cast times. The wait.1 after adlo is what was throwing it off.

And like rongway said, <wait.#> goes on the same line and /wait.# goes on its own.

/merror off
/macrolock
/ac "Eye for an Eye"<t>
/ac "Eye for an Eye"<t>
/ac "Eye for an Eye"<t>
/ac "Eye for an Eye"<t>
/wait 1
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/wait 3 <<< look on your own cast time
/ac "Deployment Tactics" <t>
/ac "Deployment Tactics" <t>
/ac "Deployment Tactics" <t> if im gonna use that kind of macro.. ill go for something like this.. always make use of all 15 line.. copy paste skills as many as you can 'coz lag/latency can cause your macro not to work as intended.

I know you're wanting to macro these three abilities together, but the issues the others have pointed out here should be enough to let you know why such macros can be troublesome.

If you're using a controller, I highly recommend getting this rotation into muscle memory. You will be far more efficient casting these abilities manually. While you're out and about solo, just keep spamming the rotation every once in a while, and use your fairy as your target. Keep doing it until it's locked in.

Spreading E4E is kinda pointless in most situations anyway.
