Mouseover Macro buggy for anyone else?

[kidxdynamite]

I tried mousing over the player and their health bar in the party UI...neither work-it just constantly casts on me now. I tried just breaking down the macro to just <mo> and it still just self casts now. That's also when I'm standing next to the person...Have to resort to clicking again :/.

That shouldn't happen. Mouse over will only use the skill if the mouse is hovered over someth

What I noticed is that when I have a simple "/ac cure <mo>" macro it will never fail. If I add a line to it with "/ac cure <me>" it will sometimes bug and heal me instead of my mouseover target. Not very often but often enough to cause some annoying wipes. I have since given up on adding another command to my <mo> macros and they are working great.

I have a combo <mo> <t> <me> macro. Even while in range, sometimes the wrong target is chosen and I get a self-cast.

I noticed when I hover over a name on my party list, sometimes there's a bit of a flicker. Wondered if that was affecting the <mo> cast. Still haven't really tested it out.

Just wanted to post my experience with this. Last Saturday I had the same issue happen using the same MO macro's as have been posted in this thread. It started at the beginning of a Haukke Manor run (had worked fine earlier that day) and the mouseover simply stopped working all together for all my macro's (god it was a pain to actually click on party members, I've become so lazy). I assumed it was some kind of bug but just swapped jobs and haven't tested it again since. Will give it a try tonight and see if its still happening for me.

Ok, I was being retarded. When I switched to WHM after getting it I equiped the spells rather than macro's to my cast bar. Macro's seem to be working fine... for now...

For mouseover macro's i highly recommend not stuffing all these other commands into it.. use it for what it is.. mouseover...

/micon "Cure"
/ac "Cure" <mo>


That is all you need.... In your UI settings click "Always show party frames" then move yer frames to a comfortable spot, and never worry about healing someone by actually physically mousing over them..


Like here:






Here is some helpful macros for white mage.

/micon "Cure"
/ac "Cure" <mo>


/micon "Esuna"
/ac "Esuna" <mo>

/micon "Cure II"
/ac "Cure II" <mo>

/micon "Regen"
/ac "Regen" <mo>

/micon "Cure III"
/ac "Cure III" <mo>

/micon "Benediction"
/ac "Benediction" <mo>

/micon "Stoneskin"
/ac "Stoneskin" <mo>

/micon "Raise"
/ac "Raise" <mo>



Hope this can be of some help!

Theres a reason everyone stuffs those "other lines" into there.

Its because its proven effective at reducing reaction times.

Typically in a raid, you need to move constantly.

So you have the main tank targetted, and the right mouse held down constantly for ease of strafing.

This way, you press your mouseover, you automatically heal the tank.

When you need to self heal, just press esc and autoheal yourself.

When you need to raid heal, thats the only time when you need the mouse over your raidframes.

With your way, you MUST mouseover tank, yourself, etc to let off a heal, instead of being able to strafe right before and after, saving you time.

Also we all know how crappy the clicking in this game is, sometimes taking 3 or more right click + holds to actually snap the camera and let you strafe.

This is the effect I macro for, and what I get - 95% of the time. That last 5% pops can be a real pain in the ass, and it'd be nice if the macros were refined so this didn't happen.



Some days I really miss <st>. Pre-casting with sub-target macros got real comfortable after a while.

..but I don't miss having to sit in combat.

I should be able to stuff all the other commands in my macro. The fact is that the thing doesn't work 5% of the time and it can cause a wipe. They need to fix it.
