Need help with GNB Gnashing Fang Combo!

[SacchinReala]

I wanted to know if there is a way to macro in the old version of the Gnashing Fang Combo, the way it was before Endwalker. I tried but I'm not really good with making macros. It'd be really nice to have the whole sequence be an actual combo.

Do you mean you want it to be three different buttons? Just put it on your hotbar three times. Waste of hotbar space, tho.

[SacchinReala]

Yes! That is exactly what I want. I don't mind the space usage.

Yeah, just drag the button onto your bars 3 times. I feel the same so my shift123 buttons are all gnashing fang so I can keep on hitting multiple buttons.

[SacchinReala]

Yea, I just kind of wished the icons wouldn't all be the same lol.

My best guess would be that the old action icons can't be accessed by the macro system, but I've never actually tried before. If you remember the old names, you can give it a try. Just make a new macro with:

/macroicon "NAME OF SKILL BETWEEN THESE QUOTES"

Then put it on your bar and see if the icon appears. My guess is that it probably won't work, and that at best you'll end up with the grey, crossed-out version of the icon, similar to what you probably found on your actual hotbars immediately following the patch where these moves were removed. But I wish you luck and would love to hear how it goes!

The macro system allows you to use "※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar" actions as icons. The /action to execute needs to be the action that can be assigned to your bar.

Savage Claw:
1-14: /ac (Gnashing Fang)
15: /micon (Savage Claw)


Wicked Talon:
1-14: /ac (Gnashing Fang)
15: /micon (Wicked Talon)

This worked! Thank you so much!

what a terrible way to play , you know that right? Macros ignore the spell queue of 0.5 seconds that mean you lose time every time you use a skill with a macro.

Macros send one line per frame so you can still buffer them by having a macro with the '/action <skill>' line repeated 14 or 15 times. At 30FPS it buffers them for ~0.4 seconds, at 60FPS it buffers them for ~0.2.

Also, mind your business.
