Favorite rez macro texts?

Ok, fine. But no "rational" macro puts two abilities together...

This is not to say that macros can't be used at all. In fact, they can be quite useful but I have yet to find any useful macros for any of the three healers. A macro should be used in order to facilitate the function of a certain ability.

Rez macros aside which even though are not made for every single raise still come in handy in a pinch,

for Ast I have...

/ac "Essential dignity" <t>
/ac "Minor Arcana" <t>

So my "Oh crap" heal buttons are overlapped, condensing them down to 1 click saving room on my hotbar and saving myself from that split second of "which one is up" that could mean life or death.

/ac "Earthly Star"
/ac "Earthly Star" <t>

So I can either place it over a target, tank or mob or w/e else or just be free to decide where it should go.

Sch I have...

/ac "Shadow Flare"
/ac "Shadow Flare" <t>

/ac "Sacred Soil"
/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>

For the same reasons as earthly star

/ac Esuna <t>
/pet Embrace <t>

For a small heal on w/e needed an esuna, explained this earlier and its worth it 99.9% of the time

And all dps spells looks like...

/ac "Stone II" <t>
/ac "Stone II" <tt>

Right there are some pretty nifty healer macros that will make your life tons easier.

Saying "macros have no place in battle" and then following that up with "well, that doesn't mean macros cant be used at all" (which is EXACTLY what is being said) is why I said its a silly blanket statement and just has you eating crow while trying to make it look like you still have credibility no matter how much you wanna back track and try to save your case. You already lost.

All jobs can use macros to an extent and while they should not be the one and only for a lot of cases, spouting off the argument that they cannot be used at all no matter what the situation is just plain false. Like I said, if you wanna think you are a better healer just because you don't use macros that's fine. But no matter how you look at it, you are making your life harder for no reason other than trying to make yourself feel better about your own abilities.

I have also been playing since v1, I used swiftcast raises when needed in everything from leveling dungeons, to extremes, to coil, to omega and haven't been burned by it yet. Just because you want to believe a fallacy that is spouted off by randos who just like to tell other ppl what to do to feel important doesn't make their words actual truth.

Lost what? First off, I never said macros have no place in battle. In fact, I specifically remember stating, "That is not to say that they don't have a place in battle." and then even provided one of my own macros that actually optimizes the ability. That's the difference between the macro I provided and a SC+rezz macro. You cannot optimize a skill if you combine with another skill in a macro. This is as absolute as gravity.

Like I said, if you wanna think you are a better healer just because you don't use macros that's fine. But no matter how you look at it, you are making your life harder for no reason other than trying to make yourself feel better about your own abilities.

Actually none of this true. I already stated why I don't use macros as a healer. I said I don't use them because I have not found any that are useful. This alone should tell you that I have at least given them a try. But to go even further than that, the truth is I don't use them because I haven't found any that optimizes my abilities. And at the end of the day, I care about playing optimally regardless of the content I am in.

I'm not making life harder for myself, I'm making the run easier for everyone else. And I'd bet a months salary that I'm the healer that pisses off the other healer because I SC+rezzed before they did. So not only did they waste their SC, they wasted lord knows how many gcds during that mess by not casting anything.

I have also been playing since v1, I used swiftcast raises when needed in everything from leveling dungeons, to extremes, to coil, to omega and haven't been burned by it yet.

Whatever you say.
