    Would this work? (Macro)

    So, I'm leveling my Red Mage (66!) and I was wondering if I could make a macro that would cast Enchanted Riposte, Enchanted Zwerchhau and Enchanted Redoublement to cast one after the other. Kind of like a cast sequence Macro I guess.

    So far the only Macroes I've used are for healing with mouse-over so I'm not sure what all you can do with them, or how to word them to make it work.

    You can create a macro for just about anything. For more about macros checkout the follow link for macro commands.

    Macros for combos are generally not a good idea. if any part of it fails then you're screwed on dps.

    Gotcha..I'm just trying to figure out how to handle all of these abilities since I have a limited range of movement in my left wrist because of a car accident =(. I just got Impact, and I'm having trouble finding a spot for it that I can reach, and was hoping combining those would help me out and a bit.

    Guess I'll keep seeing if I can find a spot =)

    I would say give it a shot on a training dummy(and having people that are able to randomly tell you to move to dodge certain types of AoE - cone, line, circular, etc) to see if it would work for you. The bigger challenge is doing it in a dungeon(could try with a few friends to see if it would work).

    Action sequence macros are no good for several reasons. The two big ones are
    (a) waits can only be whole seconds, which means you'll be waiting too long between actions.
    (b) sequence macros aren't smart enough to fix themselves when the sequence breaks.

    If, for accessibility reasons, you want to use macros to reduce your hotbar spread, a more reliable solution would be to use macros to rewrite your hotbar. I encourage you to read this guide on how to store bars on a class and swap them in and out with macros. Then you can use a macro to toggle your bar between casting mode and stabbing mode.

    Another suggestion may be if you're using a mouse, you could get a multi-button mouse and assign your combo actions to the mouse buttons if you have limited movement.

    Yeah for moves like those you really need to press them yourself, but don't forget you can change around keybinds if reaching 6789 is causing you trouble. I'm using qefg replacing those, and i'm doing plenty good.

    Also, you can create a macro to change where hotkeys are situated so that you can have your normal magic easy to reach, then press a button and now it's all your melee combo buttons, then press that last button and you're back to normal.
