Useful Healing Macros

[Exphryl]

I've been using the macro for protect and stoneskin on all 4 party members at the start of the instance, but it stops after the second stoneskin every time. Any idea why?

I had to do /wait 3 rather than just wait 3 for mine to work.

Is there anyway to put together Divine Seal and Presence of mind into a macro, i havnt been able to get it to work. They are both instant cast.

Yes, I have that, but it still ALWAYS stops after the first two stoneskins.

My 911 macros:

the words in () mean they're from the translator thing

/p (tank) (Help me out!) <se.11>

I use that one for when I'm being targeted by every freaking monster on the planet and the tank is derping around fighting a fly swarm.


/p (Mage's Ballad) (Can I have it?) <se.1>

I use this when I get low on MP and there's a Bard in the party. It really helps because Bard generally don't pay attention to the parties MP much.

The <se.1>'s play a sound when you type it into a macro. It can be numbers 1-17 I believe?

Yup and this can also be easier for PC players. PS3 sure but that damn mouse feature is so slow

I use the Cure ones on the PC but I have to say that you actually don't need macros on the PS3 to be an effective healer. I find it much easier and quicker to heal using the PS3 than I do on my PC. Typically I will select the main tank as my main target, then if anyone else needs a heal during a fight (which they inevitably do) I simply use the up and down to select them from the list and cast the appropriate heal and because I have the main tank as the main target, I then don't have to move back down to him/her/.

SE have done an amazing job of giving us a good PS3 UI for healers it has to be said, however it also has to be said, its certainly not as good as the PC when you are helping kill trash mobs or soloing when it comes to targeting.

Where did you see an option for self cast? I see self targeting (f1 etc) but nothing for self casting.

I keybinded selfcast to my "S" key and my pet as "Shift+S".

I play with a PS3 controller on PC and I suggest turning on target filters in the configuration menu. Play around with it and see what tickles your fancy, they are customizable.

I like using the "Enemies" filter for fates and soloing. I also set up L1+(Square) as a custom filter to ignore everything except NPCs; it's great for targeting quest NPCs or other points of interest surrounded by players.

i still can't get the <mo> to work for me on either my WHM or my SCH. Anyone else having this issue? going to put in a ticket maybe. have copied and pasted most of the ones i find usefull here but the <mo> ones are the only ones that do not work. thanks in advance, and yes using party window to mouse over.

[Taemek]

I set the mouseover macro as follows:
/ac Cure <mo>
/ac Cure <tt> (this goes next after it sees you're not moused over someone. What this does is cure the target of your target. SO for example if you're attacking a squirrel, but the squirell is attacking tank, using this macro while you're targeting the squirrel will cure the tank. if you're attacking the squirell, and the squirrel is attacking you, using this macro will cure you.)
/ac Cure <me> (If none of the above requirements are meant (No mouse over, no target's target), it will cure you)

I also recommend adding a an announcement phrase that your raising someone so they don't go to town.
/ac Raise <t>
/s "Don't move, you're being raised" <t>

These work fine, but how do you disable the "Unable to use /ac "Cure" <mo> and <tt> on that target" messages?

You can't at the moment. I doesn't really bother me though.

I actually ended up taking out the /ac Cure <me> from it. Often times I would be too far from the player I was targeting and it would cure me while I was thinking it was curing them... haha.
