Macros R' US

[Keith_Dragoon]

I use a controller for healing... am i better off teaching myself how to use keyboard and mouse?

I also use the controller, targeting in this game is kinda screwed for controllers even though they have tried like 25 times to change it, XI still has the superior targeting mechanics. You can try using the macroes with the controller its alot easier then the action bar since if u don't do it right you will end up cyclling palletes and misfiring spells.

100%, better for me to play on a keyboard, but i like to run around town with the controller.

Depends on what you're most comfortable playing with. Naturally, those who are partial to keyboard will say it's the best and vice-versa. What's important is you figure out if <p#> or <st> works best for you.

I've healed in other mmo's by targeting nameplates and use keybinds to heal. However, I play all of my combat classes with a controller. It's really hard going back and forth. I tried using a keyboard.. but I didn't even known how to open the menu without the controller.....

I'll try out some of the healing macros tonight....

Also, other than Cura.... what other ability for WHM/ CONJ deserves 7 macros corrosponding to each party member?

You should throw /facetarget in front of all cure macros =D

Don't think you need macros for actions in this game what with the action bar.

Does anyone else have a problem with their macros to switch Jobs not fully completing? For instance I copied this verbatim for a Bard macro:

This is due to latency/lag it will sometimes skip a line or two, I doubt this will get any better any time soon unless yoshi adds 20-30 lines in a macro page so we can add a wait command between each item.
