    As a healer main in FFXIV, mouse-over macros for healer skills are life. All I have to do is bring my mouse cursor over to the party member's name in the party window and bam, they're being healed and I haven't even switched targets. That was something I was taught in Heavensward and it still works today. Example: /micon "Cure" /ac "Cure"

    Similar to healbot, clique or, of course, mouseover macros in WoW, it sounds like. Been a Healbot boy for years myself. Surprisingly, I find healing with a gamepad super easy in this game, which makes me glad. I can do the nerd hunch when healing in WoW, and the slob slouch when healing in FFXIV. Soft-targeting (where you choose a target with the D-Pad, but don't hit the confirm button to properly "select" it, so you use a single ability on that target and it deselects it, like a sort of weird mouseover macro but for gamepads) is a godsend for this reason. I find it kind of sad that FFXIV's default friggin' CONTROLLER healing is infinitely more usable (to me) than WoW's default KB&M healing UI, and I don't count mouseover macros as part of the default UI. Sorry for the rant, just haven't really talked about this subject much.

But people told me as healer macros would blow my mind, did they may spoke of the mouse over macros? I'm more a keyboard user and user F1-F8 for my heal targets and dont see the benefit of focusing to search for the player on the battlefield - or do i missunderstand these macros?

    Here's a tip for using macros that announce raise/invuln in party chat. Put your /ac in the second line before the /p line and add a at the end of the /ac line. That will allow you to spam the button to make sure it doesn't fail and it won't spam party chat because once you press the macro again it resets that 1s timer before the /p message goes out.

    @Amadox that is if your condensing multiple DIFFERENT abilitys into the same macro, since the order is not 100% perfect, but when modifying a ground targeted spell like this, it's no problem that i know of. which ever line triggers first you'll still use in on the target if you have one, or go into ground targeting mode if you don't have one, since your unlikely to be able to confirm a place on the ground before the other line triggers even if they go in the wrong order, and the ~0.5 internal cooldown dosent apply before you actually used an ability so it wont be a problem if all the lines refer to the same ability since you'll only cast it once before the cooldown starts.

I guess you could make a macro like that, and then try it out a couple of times in some far-off deserted area and in a crowded city too see how reliable it is in low and high latency settings,.. Then again if you use , you can just have the mouse over the target/self (click-on-self might have to be enabled in settings for that to work) instead of having the or if its not reliable enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It's just too useful and the first time I saw someone use one, I was like "This is super helpful! I didn't blow Swiftcast! Huh, maybe I should make one of those..." It also lets you have a little fun with Job flavor. I don't really play AST, but I love my AST one's message: "/party ! I have read your fate from the Stars! Today is NOT the day you fall!! {Arise}!!" Something about that one just gives me goosebumps. I've made a Job specific one for each of them since (I used to just use "/party C'mon, , ya gotta get up! {Raise}", which is the quote from Mickey Mouse in Kingdom Hearts 2 when he revives Sora if you get that to happen - I still use this one for RDM), but none of them feel so damn epic as the AST one. Which is sad considering that's the healer/reser I actually play the absolute least and only just got to 80 recently. XD

    my favorite healer macro for my direct heals and esuna is. /macroicon "spell" /ac "spell" /ac "spell" /ac "spell" This causes the spell to go off on whoever im mousing over first even mousing over names of people in other alliance raid groups. This allows me to keep the boss targeted to see what abilities they are casting while also healing / removing debuffs. If I dont have anyone moused over it will go off on my target. You can also hold down right shift to disable mousover completely causing it to prioritize target. Now if i dont have a target or someone moused over it will cast it on me instead. There are things you must be cautions of though with this set up. Ive had it decide i wasn't mousing over someone when i was and it instead cast the spell on me. So use at your own risk. But Ive had it be rather efficient for me in the long run.

    As someone who plays on ps4 with controller, and wound up being the group's healer for a long time, I made a macro button that swaps to focus target (usually the MT). It's much faster and much more responsive than pressing the up/down directional buttons to try and select the player who's tanking for a faster heal/esuna/barrier. It's also decent for when you have an enemy that moves around, as you'll instantly target them so long as they're your focus target, and can get back to DPS'ing. /target

  • @ahkaishecheyhi

    To expand on the macro for ground target AOEs, back when Shadowflare was a thing (rip) I would use a + macro. This is useful for bosses like Cloud of Darkness that have gigantic hotboxes or have their hotbox centers off a targetable surface. That macro allows for targeting of the boss first, but if it fails, it will then target the target of the boss ( = target of target) and typically place the ground aoe right under the tank. I don't recommend this for defensive bubbles, but it's quite useful for salted earth, etc. is also quite useful for certain targeted defensive abilities that you want on the target that is being attacked, so you don't need to swap off the boss.

    Maybe mentioned (if so, added for emphasis), but some more tips: -You can use the autotranslate function instead of typing "action" . This really helps with oddly worded skills or really long ones and prevents mistypes, also you don't need the parenthesis anymore. -For healing (under a majority of circumstances) I use a macro for dpsing or putting up dots. That way I don't have to untarget my tank, but I can still get in some dps. -For skills used on other players (Mainly use these while tanking): I'm not a big fan of mouseover (just how I play), but I do use a party order , etc, for shields. Like Cover and Intervention (PLD) or Blackest NIght (DRK) that way all I have to do is hit a key to trigger the effect on someone without clicking on the party list and taking my attention off the boss (or whatever my main target is)

    When I play a healer, I love to use mouse over targeting macros for my healing spells. It makes transitioning from healing to damage to healing again almost instant, I can just leave my mouse on the main tank in the party list and never untarget the boss, and if I need to adjust, I just need to move my mouse up or down very quickly. It makes healing to be very efficient for me.

I also used to have a macro on Paladin in early Stormblood that had like 3 off-GCD defense buffs because Paladin suffered from massive skill bloat, but when they gave the jobs full access to the cross-role actions I got rid of it since I had to use a third cross hotbar to fit them all anyways.

Its not 100% but it allows you to stay on you person you are healing (most likely the tank) and cast DMG spells on their Target. While this has a draw back of if the person you are targeting has no target = no spell casts. Its hit or miss but was really useful for me when I was healing periodically in Raids from 2.X-4.X (not a HC Raider) Prob isn't needed as much anymore however just thought its something I would bring up.

    I do have an interesting question for folks out there and the mention of macros being used by handicapped players. First, a bit of background info: my mother has had multiple surgeries in the past and has what we casually call 'anesthesia brain', which has made it both difficult for her to remember the effects of some of her bard skills, as well as severely affecting her reaction time. That, combined with surgeries on her hands and her inability to use a mouse with added buttons on it for efficiency, has made partaking in fight and dungeons nearly impossible for her. It's hit her a bit hard because she truly loves this game, but has become very self-conscious because of her inability to do well in most later dungeons. My question to you all is, do you think, in her case, macros that condence a series of skills together would help her? Allow her to focus solely on avoiding AOEs while the macros themselves do most of the skill work? Of course, she'll not be running any savage raids or whatnot, and her damage wouldn't be the best, but just something that may allow her to do, say, a leveling or trial roulette.

    I use a few on my DRG. For Dragon Sight I use focus target and focus a player of my choice for each encounter. I also successfully condensed the two third combo actions together into one button based on which second combo action was selected. This is done without losing the ability the queue using the following general strategy: 1) When you press the macro, it swaps its self out for the normal skill which you can then press again to queue normally. Basically double-tap to queue it. 2) You use a /wait 1 line that is still running in the background even though the macro removed its self from the action bar. 3) after the wait line, you copy a hidden action bar to the original action bar that includes the original macro button (thus replacing the ordinary skill with the macro again) Unfortunately it's a bit clunky for condensation as you need to use an action bar for each possible variation of the action bar. With DRG 1-2-3 combo (where action 3 is being swapped), you need to make 2 hidden action bars for it to work. To do it for GNB you would probably need a hidden bar for each stage in the combo, and you'd be screwed if you needed to start the combo from scratch unless you set up a hotkeyed macro to get back to stage 1 on demand. Even if that tank cooldown macro worked in the desired order, I still wouldn't use it for two reasons. (1) the cooldowns have different functionalities and you want to to control which ones you use when, and (2) You often need to weave multiple cooldowns together to ensure you activate everything in time for a tank-buster. The inability to queue really screws with how fast you can activate them all within a global or two.

For example, as a DPS, all the dps classes are top, then tanks, and then Healers, while as a Healer, Tanks are on top, DPS and then healers. So for me, like the OP, my Dragon Sight macro targets all the first 4 positions who are always DPS because of my party list sorting settings.

    If you're crafting many items, I tend to hit the macro before the Synth window has opened, so the first macro command may be missed. Put a 1-2 second wait at the start of the macro, then you can hit synthesize and then the macro immediately without waiting for the window to open.

    personally as a healer, just getting used to hitting the F1-F8 keys to choose the party member is faster, and the game is slow enough that you have plenty of time to target someone in between GCDs. setting a main target key so you can always be casting your offensive spells, then quickly selecting a party member and throwing an oGCD heal at them or a hard GCD heal at them is fairly fluid once you learn how to target party members directly, rather than fumbling with your mouse and click selecting will save you a lot of headache. of course, do whatever works for you. if using helps you cast asylum or similar helps you in some way, i'm not your boss.

    Here's afew tips about macros. 1: using /em makes all following text only apply to you. Example: /em wait 30 This will result in you being pinged in 30seconds. Noone else will hear it. Great for ast cards, important CD like No Mercy or Delirium. 2: Keep combat macros as 2 actions tops. Though I suggest only 1 action since you have to wait and entire second for the next move. However some people like their swiftcast res. 3: In chatlog settings you can try out all the sound effects and see the number they are. 4: Remember to always put channel name for your macro if you want it said in a specific chat or it'll say the text in your currect channel. This is however not always good to do as I like being able to switch between telling a party to tank swap in raids or telling other alliances in shout.

    Best macros are when something is only available if it procs off a pre-req skills. So that proc'd skill goes into the macro line first and then the "3rd final" skill goes second. So you hit the macro, it looks for the 3rd skill, if its available to use, then it uses, if its not then the macro instantly moves onto the "2nd" skill again in the macro (no wait time for something like this). Monk is a good example because of the way its skills chain and only become available when used in a certain order 1-2-3 (heavy hitting 3rd & 2nd skills) /macroicon "Snap Punch" /ac "Snap Punch" (3rd level skill) /ac "True Strike" (2nd level skill) (buff/debuff 3rd & 2nd skills) /macroicon "Demolish" /ac "Twin Snakes" (3rd level skill) /ac "Demolish" (2nd level skill) (Self heal and heal buff) /macroicon "Second Wind" /p Mantra HEALS ARE BUFFED /ac "Mantra" /wait .5 /ac "Second Wind" /ac "Bloodbath" And for healers - namely Astro for me, i macro Swiftcast in with Raise skills /macroicon "Ascend" /ac "Swiftcast" /wait 1 /ac "Ascend" /p Raising

So let's say your on Sch, you can set your broil to target the PLD target, aka the boss most times. This prevents you from having to untarget the tank and DPS between healing. I know for myself I sometimes forget to switch back and the tank drops super low then I'm scrambling to get them healed back up to safe levels.

It's lined up on my hotbars so that there's a button beside each player in my party, and I can mouse over to that player and smack the button to fire the party buff onto them. This allows me to mitigate other players without having to worry about losing target on my boss. It really does help me!

Sure it’ll try to hit the mouse-over target first, then your target, then you, but I often found that if my intended target was either out of range or out of line of sight, it would default to casting on me. So I removed the third line and haven’t had that issue since.

Example: /Micon "Holmgang" /ac "Holmgang" /p "Just used Holmgang, get ready to bene!"
