I think your friend should opt for a White Mage if he is macro-reliant.


Reason: As a healer, WHM has zero combo and is the easiest-to-play healer class. For DPS, like other healers, it is just spam this button, then press other button every 18/30s, make it easy to macro. For healing, its skills are straight-forward and regen-focus heal skills that fill the HP bar when someone's HP drops to danger zone and pretty much nothing else.


Obviously, using macro will make your DPS sub-optimal, but better than being able to play the game at all.


For the macro, note that you don't need to change the macro if skill name changes from Dia to Aero II or the like cuz of level-sync, as the game will figure that out itself. It goes like this:


DPS:

/merror off (can be put away to save space)
/ac "Aero" <wait.3>
(It must be wait.3 cuz the game's macro doesn't support x.y time format)

/ac "Stone" <wait.3>
(spam the Stone Line still the second-last line)

/echo <se.1> (or whatever <se.(number)> you want for the sound the signal the end of the macro)


Since cast time is 1.5s now, you can slide-cast easier and become a bit more mobile and easy to weave in Assize without worry about skipping a cast. For the /micon, it is up to you if you want to give up a line or not.



For AoE: change "Stone" into "Holy". Note that cast time is still 2.5s, so any movement will likely skip a cast.


A tank that is macro-easy is Warrior. Since their offensive skills lean toward gcd more than other classes. For DPS, it is Reaper, as I feel it plays like a DPS Warrior which is also focus on gcd, though a bit more weaving than Warrior.

I disagree with you, Momo. White mage is easy to heal with and to deal damage with on mobs. But, a DoT and damage spell doesn't work well as a simple two action macro.

Your macro would end up having Kriss's friend clipping Aero immediately after the first Stone is cast and thereafter. However, I may be overthinking this. Doing less damage might not matter to the group.

we dont care about his dps. he can auto attack for all we care. yes sometimes there is a random person in our daily. so that person might not realy like it. bet him and a random other being the DPS we found out using a Parse thing to see the dps everyone dous. and even with his one button macro combat he dous most dps sometimes.

So its safe to say that this setup aint that bad for normal content. and to come back at what PredatoryCatgirl said. he plays on a controller.

I love how ppl try to help tho. XIV community is one of the best out there

As far as the dps loss..kupo..in most duty finder if the dps is actually pressing buttons they are doing more dps than some I have seen kupo. Everybody can enjoy the game!

The combo macros with the delay are fine if you are not trying to max dmg and unless savage you really are looking at a very minor difference in time (but that can be relative.) Few seconds will only make the most anxious say something kupo lol

I have seen people do fine in normal dungeons going ice mage (blm) shooting nothing but blizzard III and Freeze with cc's added in etc.. They do fine for the most part.

It really is about surviving and moving..zero dps if you are laying there flat on your weapon kupo hehe.

So don't stress and kupo for helping a friend! <3 kupo
