| Re: Beginner Macros? Hello Prons!
I'm in a pretty similar boat, just started a couple weeks ago and am leveling RDM & WHM.
One of the things I found with my macros was that altering them slightly for different circumstances can make them more effective for your purposes. At the low levels especially when you're slipping back and forth between grouping and soloing, you might want to experiment with them.
Examples:
/ma "Cure" <stpc>
Used in a party where you will be actively engaged in combat, this will allow you to choose a target by pressing the appropriate F key and then cast with Enter. (Sorry, I don't know the corresponding console commands yet!)
/ma "Cure" <t>
Used in a party where you will not be engaged in combat, this will allow you to choose your target and then heal, saving a button cast. Easier for spamming when you get "Unable to cast spells at this time" message.
/ma "Cure" <me>
Used when soloing for least button pressing of all! Automatically targets you and casts without taking your focus off of the creature you are fighting.
I hope you enjoy your career as a WHM, it is definitely a rewarding one! Especially with a good party of people.
