SMN Pet Command macro

[Transient_Shadow]

Hello there. If you're like me you tried to set up your pet actions on your hotbar instead of having the full pet hotbar in your way. Sadly those actions don't really flow as well as the Faerie actions. So I searched high and low for a solution to this issue.

And finally I've found one.



Basically what your seeing here is the macro set up i've made by learning from the UI people set up with said types of macros. Basically I utilized key rows 5, 6, & 7. I placed the assorted actions in each key row.

Then I created macros for each summon

/micon "summon #"
/ac "summon #"
/hotbar copy Summoner # Summoner #

The first summoner # will be the key row your copying and the second summoner # is the key row that you will be using.

Now keep in mind that the key row you're using will be completely replaced each time you change your summon. so be sure to set up the rest of your actions on that bar accordingly.

You don't need to use whole bars, but if you're going to, you can save them to ACN (or any class that you don't use) and load them from there.

To save to ACN: /hotbar copy SMN # ACN #
Then to load: /hotbar copy ACN # SMN #

So you don't deprive yourself of hotbar space on a job you actually use.


I'm not sure what you mean by the comment comparing the egi actions to fairy actions, but each egi has an AoE, an interrupt, and a support buff/debuff. You can put these buttons on your normal bars, and have your summon macro change just the three buttons, so that they can be more naturally included in your control scheme.

/micon (Summon III)
/ac (Summon III)
/hotbar pet (Flaming Crush) (Ifrit-Egi) 2 4
/hotbar pet (Crimson Cyclone) (Ifrit-Egi) 1 7
/hotbar pet (Radiant Shield) (Ifrit-Egi) 3 4

Where the syntax is
/hotbar pet AbilityNameInQuotesOrAutoTranslated Name-Egi Hotbar# Slot#
For more details, type /? hotbar in game.

Note that the order of abilities on the pet bar is inconsistent between the three pets. For clarity, here is a list of the abilities by function:

AoE:

• Aerial Slash
• Mountain Buster
• Flaming Crush

Interrupt:

• Shockwave
• Landslide
• Crimson Cyclone

Support:

• Contagion
• Earthen Ward
• Radiant Shield
