    Just a few questions on Macro's

    I am looking at becoming more effiecient with macros and am wondering if this will be a very good idea:
    I am a THF. looking to maximize Sneak attack. I am not worried about each line working, for spelling or what not I am ok. Just wondering if it would work.

    /equip ring1 "flourite ring" (for the dex +3)
    /equip ring2 "flourite ring"
    /ja "sneak attack" <me>
    /wait 1
    /equip ring1 "name" (cant remmber the name of the strength +3 ring)
    /equip ring2 "name" (cant remmber the name of the strength +3 ring)

    My questions, does the dex bonus get added or do I need a wait command in there? I dont think I do. As well does the dex that affects the sneak attack get calculated when sneak attack is performed, or when the attack actually hits. (thus making equiping the strength rings cripple the attack)

    You don't need the wait line and the dex gets added when the hit takes place.

      If I'm reading it right, the Wait line (i'd say wait 2-3 at least to be safe) is there because the hit may not take place immediately. Otherwise you will just change rings sneak attack animation then change rings back. So I would think you need it in there for the hit.

        When you have two /equip lines using items with identical names, very often the second line won't proc because it tries to grab the same item as the first line.

        One workaround is to put a few more line between them;

        /equip L.ring "Fluorite Ring"
        /equip <some other slot> "stuff"
        /equip <some other slot> "stuff"
        /equip <some other slot> "stuff"
        /equip R.ring "Fluorite Ring"

        Another is to just press the macro twice--which won't a good idea if you put /ja "Sneak Attack" <me> in there.

        For Sneak Attack, may want to do something like:

        /equip L.ring "Fluorite Ring"
        /equip neck "Spike Necklace"
        /equip <slot> "item"
        /equip <slot> "item"
        /ja "sneak attack" <me>
        /equip R.ring "Fluorite Ring"

        By the time you hit a WS macro or swing a dagger, the R.ring should already be swapped in.

        Use a separate macro to reequip the TP set's gear; it's a bad habit to use /wait for things like that.

          oh yeah, better to increase the wait between the SA and the Tp rings, but I'd sugget going with Ifrit, that's the way i do it as well.

            Agreed, avoid using the /wait timer in this case. Make a seperate macro for re-equiping your TP set.
