Just curious, what does everyone's macro sets look like when subbing SCH? I've yet to find a way that's comfortable for me. Assuming using Gearswap, how do you have yours laid out?

I used to have a ton of macro sets with some elaborate "/macro set" switching, but I found that I just wasn't using it effectively. I found it difficult to remember where everything was, and I would often find myself trying to spam a cure macro when I wasn't on the right set. I am a very quick typist, so I have found it easiest to do A LOT of typing rather than having several sets of macros that I have to switch between. Fortunately gearswap & shortcuts makes this possible without too much fuss. That said, this method may not work for everyone. I limit myself to one set of macros:

Ctrl: Cure 3, Cure 4, Cure 5, Cure 6, Curaga 3, Curaga 4, Haste, Misery, Solace
Alt: Dia 2, Paralyze, Slow, Silence, Addle, Repose, Dark Arts & Addendum: Black (1 macro), Light Arts, Sublimation, Accession

Protect, Shell, Raises, Reraises, Teles I tend to access from the Magic Menu (they're all at the top)

I always type: Curaga 5, -nas, Sacrifice, Erase, Esuna, Dispel, barspells, boost spells, Auspice, Stoneskin, nukes, Devotion, Sacrosanctity, Asylum, Benediction, Penury, Celerity

My gearswap has auto-Divine Caress, so I don't worry about typing that.

Looking at this again, it may be better to macro more JAs rather than debuffs, but I've had my debuffs there for years - not sure I could get used to something different.

I have JA top line along with Reraise ~
I then have Spells I normally AoE ~

I then Have Cure 4 macrod (although I tend to type it)

I have a rule to auto Perpetuances and Accession Regen V / Phalanx.

I then have Dark Arts Rules below these - JAs top line followed by Spells (Tier 3) next and then Same JA again on the next line (3) followed by Tier 5 nukes.

ive gotten to the point where i type out almost all spells i use on my mage jobs. id definately advocate for making use of the typing skills and use macros for the important spells/JA's only for convenience.

Here's mine, but I don't Auto caress - I save it for when I believe it will count.

This was modlled from my SCH so some of the rules are repeated, and excluded (I got it to work and its not 100% finished yet but it's god for a Mage only WHM, no Melee sets)

Thanks! I'm looking for an auto-caress one though.

My gearswap is nowhere near something you should use as a guide - more of a work in progress, so I'll just post the bit that does the auto-divine caress so as not to embarrass myself :)

This is in the pretarget function:
Code
if NaSpells:contains(spell.english) then
        if windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[32] < 1 and not buffactive.amnesia then
            cancel_spell()
            send_command('DivineCaress;wait 1.7;input /ma "'..spell.english..'" '..spell.target.name)
        end
end


And I have this in my get_sets() function:
Code
NaSpells = S{"Paralyna","Silena","Viruna","Stona","Blindna","Poisona"}


The only bad thing about this is that it's not 'smart' - it may use on a single target poison, but when you accession stona before the timer is up, it won't go off. Thing is, I'm so bad about remembering to use it, it's as a whole a lot better for me.

I don't use gearswap but this is an alternative to having to do a lot of typing. I use the /macro set # line to navigate around. These are what I use

[Main curing macros set 1]
Cure3 cure4 cure5 haste erase sacrifice pro/shell /macro set 4(enh) /macro set 3(Enf) idle
curaga3 dia2 regen /macro set 2(pre-na) accession sacrosancity /macro set 2(pre-cursna) raise RR idle off

Having quick access to sacro can very rewarding being able to block an Avatar AF with good timing, or just a -ja you see coming.

[-na macros set 2]
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- /macro set 4(enh) /marco set 3(Enf) /macro set 1(idle)
poisona paralyna blindna silena stona viruna cursna -- -- /macro set 1(idle off)

[enf macros set 3]
silene paralize slow dia2 addle repose -- /macro set 4(enh) /macro set 3(Enf) /macro set 1(idle)
dispel -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- /macro set 1(idle off)

[enh macros set 4]
(Boosts)STR DEX VIT AGI INT MND CHR /marcro set 5(bar) /macro set 3(Enf) /macro set 1(idle)
SS auspice -- -- -- -- -- -- -- /macro set 1(idle off)

[bar macros set 5]
(bar-ele) fire bliz aero stone thunder water -- /macro set 4(enh) /macro set 3(Enf) /macro set 1(idle)
sleep para petra silence amne pois blind virus -- /macro set 1(idle off)

Raise macro
/ja "celerity" <me> <wait2>
/ma "arise" <t>
/ma "raise III" <t>
/ma "raise II" <t>
/ma "raise" <t>

With /SCH I like pairing accession with -na/erase spells. I'll hit access from the [Main Cure set] before going to the -na set
For people that don't use gearswap add all of your /equip lines with the /macro set # macros.

I don't bother macroing JAs on WHM since for the most part use them when you zone in and forget about them. There are a few exception like misery + esuna but those are infrequent enough that I just switch manually or before the fight.

You don't need gearswap to type out spells.

Download the shortcuts addon, edit the xml and add your customs shortcuts. Enjoy the free typing.

I have mine set up as such...

Page 1 - Cures and HP related spells as well as SCH Strategems
Page 2 - -nas and Buffs that need to be cycled frequently (Haste, Auspice, Refresh, etc)
Page 3 - Enfeebles and buffs that are of longer duration or more utilitarian (Blink, Stoneskin, Aquaveil)
Page 4 - Bars, every single one
Page 5 - Boosts and Dark Arts spells (Aspir, Drain, Sleep, Dispel)

I designate four specific keys to alternate between the pages effectively.


On the cure page, I like have Cures III-V macroed, Curaga II, Curaga IV, Cura III, Regen IV and Regen I, Erase, Esuna, Sacrifice, Curaga I for Sleeps, as well as Penury, Celerity, and Accession. Order and priority dependent on how you want to play.

I do boost spells in the order a BLM would learn their elemental spells (Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Ice, Thunder) and my -na are from what I find to be most used to least used, which will vary per person I suppose.

Got the majority of set up from Ghishlain, (did the WHM guide here) and then altered to my play style.

Hope it helps!

I use an index, and have the most important utilities on every macro set's ctrl bar, and categorize spells on alt bars

Here is a vid of how my macro is setup
once you're used to it, you will find it is the most intuitive way to set up your spell :3
