Summoner Macro discussions

Now that we can macro pet actions I have Garuda's AoE move now tied to bane. xP I figure if I'm using Bane I'll want her to use that anyway...

/micon "Bane"
/ac "Bane" <t>
/pac "Aerial Slash" <t>

That's all I got that hasn't been mentioned already.

I wouldn't do this. Certain fights like Titan Extreme (when you get jailed) you'd want to only use "Aerial Slash" because of the delay with how the rock forms. It'd be a wasted bane cause you can't bane to yourself in that situation, but aerial slash could help do extra DPS to your own gaol.

Usually there's a delay after the last wind blade anyway so it's not usually a dps loss if you separately tap "bane ~ aerial slash" in quick succession. Plus there could be a situation where you bane but aerial slash isn't off CD yet. Then if you want to aerial slash you'd have to risk wasting a bane because of the macro. It's also better if you aerial slash right off the bat so it comes off CD faster for the next group of mobs, like in turn 4, rather than waiting to bane first.

IMO it's better to keep the commands separate for more control.

Wow...how bad is it that I didn't even put two and two together that on Titan fights you can still control your pet even if you are jailed? Great tip - thanks...I need to start thinking a little more creatively.

You can't control the pet but you can quickly hit aerial slash before you're disabled from using actions, so it hits your own jail too.
