Useful Healing Macros

[nocks]

As a scholar, I have struck a middle-ground on DOT macros.

I use:

/ac Miasma <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac Bio <t>

and

/ac Thunder <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac Aero <t>

The reason I bring these up, is that I find it's useful to have a cast time skill immediately followed by an instant skill. As soon as Miasma casts, you can start moving, and Bio will still go off. Any longer macros with more wait time seem too difficult to pull off, in my opinion. I keep Bio II separate. I keep one set of macros for soloing and one set for healing, the only difference being whether they are <t> or <tt>

/target <Bind1>
/ac "Repose" <t>

I can't get this to work. I've tried:

/target <bind 1>
/em targeting <t>

Which, if I understand it, should select the target marked with the "Bind 1" mark, and then tell me that it's targeting the name of the mob. When I execute it, I get no error message, but the targeting carat doesn't appear over the mob's head, and the emote just says "Lyra targeting " with no name. What am I doing wrong, here?

(Oh, and before anyone suggests it, /target <Bind1>, /target <Bind 1>, and /target <bind1> all give me error messages).

macro timing does not support decimal places.
it will truncate the timing so
2.5s -> 2
3.7s -> 3

hence if your recast time is 2.5s you have to set it to 3s otherwise your skill would still be in recast CD
also having to take into the account of latency/GCD issues so sometimes you have to up it to 4 for stoneskins to work properly.

It doesn't truncate, it rounds.

2.4 = 2
2.5 = 3

Hey guys, I have a request. Im a ps3 player. I was wondering if any of you guys can please write out a macro for me. I don't know how since this is my first serious mmo.
So if possible, how would i write a macro for using medica 2 with sound and text saying team heal now. Also how would i write a sound macro with auto translate telling a bard to use mage ballard?

Is there a macro to target lowest life in my party and heal them?

That would be too easy I think...
We need to set-up gambits so we can do something else while we bot-heal

[SnowDog]

Does anyone else use focus target? I set my tank as my focus target, and I can still keep the boss as the target of offensive spells, and heal the tank without doing much.

/micon Cure
/ac Cure <mo>
/ac Cure <f>
/ac Cure <me>

This cures my mouse over target first, or the focus (tank) if I'm not mousing over, or myself for when I'm solo. I do the same for Regen and Esuna.

[SnowDog]

I also came up with one for sleeping mobs automatically, if my tank is marking. If they aren't marking, it still works.

/micon Repose
/ac Repose <t>
/wait 1
/mk "Bind1" <t>
/ac Repose <attack2>
/wait 1
/ac Repose <attack3>

I think this is how I wrote it. If the tank marks 3 targets I can use this without any mob targeted and it will skip the first Repose and put targets marked 2 and 3 to sleep. If he doesn't mark them, I target the one I want, and it will only activate the first part, putting them to sleep and marking them. The only issue is it opens the marking menu if no mob is targeted, so I had to move it to a corner that's out of the way.

To use a sound effect, you would type /p <se.#> replace the "#" with any number from 1-17 for different sound effects. Ex: <Se.1> <Se.2> etc, etc.

Medica 2 macro:

/micon "Medica II"
/ac "Medica II" <me>
/p Team heal now! <se.3>

To use auto translate, type the first 3 letters or so of the word, then press tab, then press the number of the word you want on the keyboard. it should come up.

mage's ballad macro:

/p [Mage's Ballad] [Can I have it?] [Please assist!] <se.2>

(Ignore the []'s, that's just to show it's from the auto translate)
