Speed DoTs

I don't think Haste affects Dots. Are you just using Presence of Mind to haste the cast of Thunder and Aero II?

I don't know what haste is. But presence of mind affects the GCD so it does benefit instant cast abilities.

Haste is another word for Spell Speed. In other games, it increases the rate at which DoTs tick. Do you have any idea how much Presence of Mind lowers the GCD for?

Prescense of Mind doubles the spell speed stat. So PoM effectively scales with gear/spell speed. For me, presence of mind gives me roughly 1.8-1.9 second GCD compared to 2.39 with my base spell speed. But will be different for everyone depending on a players spell speed.

I love macros that take advantage of cooldowns. For example, here is my Raise macro:

/macroicon "Swiftcast"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Presence of Mind" <me>
/ac "Raise" <t>
/wait .8
/ac "Raise" <t>

Here is how it works: If Swiftcast is available, the macro will activate this and then Raise; it will not activate Presence of Mind and the first Raise because Swiftcast is still in its casting phase. If Swiftcast is still in cool down, then the macro will then activate Presence of Mind before casting Raise. Finally, if both Swiftcast and Presence of Mind are in cooldown, then Raise itself will be cast.

Cooldowns also make macros that use button mashing possible:

/micon "Divine Seal"
/ac "Divine Seal" <me>
/ac "Presence of Mind" <me>

This macro requires you to press the button *at least* two times. First press activates "Divine Seal" then the second press activates "Presence of Mind" since "Divine Seal" is still in cooldown.

Playing in the PS3 means using the crosshotbar, which means switching from one hotbar to another to be able to use most of your skills effectively. I find that you can actually bind "Cleric Stance" with the /chotbar command to make macros, and this effectively gives you an "attack crosshotbar" when "Cleric Stance" is on, and a "healing crosshotbar" when it is off.

Requirements for this to work are

1. In Start > System > Character Config > Hotbar Settings > Cross, set both "Enable Customization" and "Enable Customization for when weapon is drawn" to off
2. Choose two crosshotbars, one will be your "Healer Hotbar" (in this example Hotbar 1) and the other will be your "Cleric Hotbar" (here, Hotbar 5). Set your hotbars such that your "Cleric Hotbar" has your attack spells and macros, while your "Healer Hotbar" has your healing spells and macros.

Good advice on your stance dancing macro. If you go back and edit a previous post though, you can bypass the 1000 character limit instead of continued, continued, continued...

i.e. this post is 1192 characters long. I chop out what fits, and add the rest later.
