BLU active spell set

[Rongway]

You can maintain two sets of BLU bars by hiding one set on share or on another class.

All bar numbers have a version for each class, each job, and share, regardless of the share setting for the bar. So if you're not sharing bars 1-4, you can invisibly store bar data to share 1 - share 4 and swap it to blu 1 - blu 4 via macro. If you are sharing bars 7-10, you can invisibly store bar data to blu 7 - blu 10, or arc 7 - arc 10, or any class/job 7-10.

Example of swapping three hotbars by storing them on the shared bars of the same numbers (not sharing 1-4):

/hotbar copy blu 1 share 4
/hotbar copy share 1 blu 1
/hotbar copy share 4 share 1
/hotbar copy blu 2 share 4
/hotbar copy share 2 blu 2
/hotbar copy share 4 share 2
/hotbar copy blu 3 share 4
/hotbar copy share 3 blu 3
/hotbar copy share 4 share 3

Another example, swapping bars by employing unused bars hidden by share bars (sharing 7-10):

/hotbar copy blu 1 blu 10
/hotbar copy blu 7 blu 1
/hotbar copy blu 10 blu 7
/hotbar copy blu 2 blu 10
/hotbar copy blu 8 blu 2
/hotbar copy blu 10 blu 8
/hotbar copy blu 3 blu 10
/hotbar copy blu 9 blu 3
/hotbar copy blu 10 blu 9

Either of these macros can be used as a toggle to swap between two sets of bars.

Point is you shouldn't HAVE to rely on macros to basically play a job. If players have to resort to that, it shows poor game development.

I agree with the OP, Cast bars should be saved to active set. Having to completely rearrange your bars every time you change sets get REALLY annoying.

You don't have to. The macros don't save that much time. You don't have to use crafting macros either, or any other macros.

Macros are there if you want to use them. None of them are required. Most of the are disadvantageous. You can't even use blu macros to change skill sets if you have a buff up, like say Mimicry for example.
