Re: Macros
The Grandmoms list is pretty good just wanted to add in that by 28 it's possible you will have a couple swap in resting pieces. I have one macro that sets me resting (/heal on) and swaps in my resting gear and one macro that gets me back up (/heal off) and swaps all my gear back.

Lik Aksannyi said, macros are very personal and god do mine need overhaulling again. Don't worry about what macros you have too much, worry about your speed/efficiency. A good macro set up is one that helps you react to things as quickly as possible, so long as your macro set does that for you it's a good one. Try a few different ways of doing things and see which works best for you.

For example, I like to keep all my status removes macroed, so they are always in the same place. I know other people who have 3-4 slots for status remove macros and just change them to whatever they need at the time and some people who don't macro status remove spells at all. It doesn't matter how you do it so long as you get the spell you need quickly.

The one thing I would say is don't be afraid to spread your macros out a bit and leave yourself some room to expand. Hitting macros can,and ideally should, become fairly subconcious and if you have to move things around a lot because you ran out of room it will slow you down and increase your mishits for a while.
