Favorite rez macro texts?

[Brightmore]

Mine, as AST is:

"<t>: Earth is collapsing, Mercury is too hot... and if you keep dying, Uranus will be destroyed!"

[Tlachtga]

"Raising <t>"

Not a fan of rez macros.

Saw one the other day that said, "[Player Name] has finished spirit-bonding with the floor."

A former static-mate of mine had this exact macro. I used to have one for my RDM that said "Ver-rise and shine! We still need you!", but I've removed chat text from my rez macros since because I didn't want to annoy people. I personally don't mind most macros, as long as they're not super obnoxious and/or repetitive though.

I like the simple (action) >> <t> macros. Tells me all I need to know without the annoyance of reading what a 14-year-old thinks passes for wit. I've gotten a chuckle from a few macros but by and large some people should just delete their "funny" lines and go for utilitarian ones.

I may be one of the few people out there who don't rp in game but like to add "flavor text" to my macros. Doesn't have to be something funny or witty. Sometimes a little fantasy flavor is nice. I mean we are playing a fantasy role playing game, so why not. It always makes me laugh when people get so "offended" by chat log "clutter". I laugh especially hard when people complain about macros being "cringy". These people seriously must lead very boring lives. I imagine watching a movie must be very tedious for them lol.

It's more the fact that 90% of the time these "witty" macros are used by awful healers.

I mean that is understandable, but at that point the healer is cringy not the macro XD lol.

Macros are not suited for combat. So you find the people who've learned this and don't use a raise macro to generally be at least a notch above average.

Pretty much, I learned this the hard way back in ARR.

And while dodging mechanics it's hard to press 2 buttons? SC lasts for 10s, you don't need to cast Raise immediately (just within those 10s), and you can pop both SC and the rez a few seconds later while at full mobility, or still do OGCDs and instacasts without consuming the SC. I don't see the benefit of tying them together.

Did I say hard? no. I said its more efficient and suited to the situation, you are putting words in my mouth to prove your point, which is flawed anyway.

I'm just implying that good healers generally don't use rez macros because people don't die all the time when they're healing.

Is also just a bad attempt at trolling and saying everyone else is a bad healer cause that dps over their died. Because this game has 0 instakill moves and dps make sure to dodge each and every aoe that will surely kill them. Esp when they are in quick succession. Nice try, little lala, but still a failed attempt.

You can have both a swiftcast macro and the buttons just on your bar, which is what I do because they are situational. Regardless though, its nice to at least tie a "raising <t>" to your raise if nothing else for those moments when there is a lot going on and the party runs separate ways. It may not be on you but it sure as hell makes your life easier. You can still watch the arena if you want, but in a pinch its great.

Also...

Macros are not suited for combat.

is a blanket statement that are made by the more hardheaded who think their way is the only way and don't think things thru.

Rotational macros are not suited for combat, no, you never want to put your rotations in macros.

But adding a swiftcast to a raise for certain moments, adding a macro for something like shadow flare that will target a mob or allow you to place it anywhere depending on whether or not you have a mob targeted makes it much more versatile, adding a line of <tt> as well as <t> to your dps spells makes dpsing easier to get in a dps spell when you gotta keep a closer eye on your tank or text macros that alert other pt members to your actions so things may be timed easier or you know when a stun is used are great macros to have. Heck macroing my fairy to heal whoever I just esuna'd I found to be incredibly helpful in 99% of the cases as then I don't need to cure spam so much to keep someone up from a dot I could easily esuna off. Even if its "their fault" for not being well enough geared or w/e, still makes my life easier, so yay.

Just because you intentionally make your life harder does not mean you are doing it better. In fact I would say its usually quite the opposite.
