    I always cast Protect, so I can't say that I have. People like having it. Would I kick while I'm on another role if the healer didn't cast it? No, especially if we were clearing just fine. Results matter, in the end.

    That said, copy this macro:

    /macroicon Protect
    /macroerror off
    /aaction Largesse off
    /aaction Protect on
    /ac "Protect" <me>
    /wait 3
    /aaction Protect off
    /aaction Largesse on

    That will remove Largesse, add Protect, cast Protect, remove Protect, and add Largesse all with one button press. Hit it at the start of the dungeon. Everyone now has Protect, and you don't have to keep it as a role skill.

    Change it out with Esuana, no chance of cooldown conflict

    Is that how macros work on console or only on PC? I've been wondering on if I should use them or not but I'm not very privy to the system and just make extra skill bars to manage everything (currently a "healer" bar and a "dps" bar, but they're static unless I find skills that I actually need or want).

    Well, at least I'm trying...

    I don't have a PS4 to test, but AFAIK macros run the same on both. Creating them in the first place is a lot easier if you plug a keyboard into your PS4, of course.

    Correct, they're exactly the same on both.

    So you enter the commands individually/in sequence or you enter them all at once?

    theyd refuse to move until protect was cast even though the tanks wer mid pull , when asked i simply said i dont have it set as one of my chosen role skills n was met with a dismiss . i dont vote kick on dps eho dont goad a warrior with single figure TP o just find the attitude of these particular players to be rather childish . i wasnt aware of macros i play on ps4 n they can be a pain to figure out imo but thats just me . i will copy your macro n ty for posting it . n KDsilver i wasnt in the wrong , i wouldnt kick someone unless there was a genuine reason ; bullying , harrassment etc ,, its not hard to avoid aoes i main monk so am familiar with dps needs in all of the dungeons n im more than able to heal and dps in a party without the need for protect its just how i play
