    I use the macros for job/gear changes but also for...

    Food/Potions/Elixirs. I hate how we have to use the consumable window (U button).
    Emotes. Always forget which ones are animated.
    Cross-job abilities. I have a few set up that I use on multiple jobs. Sentinel and Second Wind for example. This leaves me with an extra slot on my main action bar and doesn't require me flipping through the 3 to find the button.
    Combos. Instead of clicking on all 2-5 action buttons, I have a few combos set up as 1 click buttons.
    Spells. When working with a second WHM it helps to let them know if I am casting protect, stoneskin or raise on someone. That way they are not wasting their cast/time as duplication.

    for now, you can save them to an external hard drive or flash drive. Easy as pie.

    Also macros are good for custom emotes, or long strings of actions that would normally have you switching action bars between actions. They're also good for using potions mid battle.

    128 action slots with the gamepad UI. There would be no seperated macro bars in ARR anymore. In ARR macros exist alongside skills and foods ^^


    Oh, and macros are currently good for different crafting skill sets, too. Skill sets for fast crafting, quality crafting, risk crafting and safe crafting.
