Absorb macro
is it posible to make a macro that will cast absorb-str, absorb-agi, absorb-vit, and absorb-dex, in one macro?

Re: Absorb macro
Yes, but it's not a wise idea to put multiple spells in the same macro.

Re: Absorb macro
Between the needed wait statements, the most you'll get in would be 3 spells in on macro.

Re: Absorb macro
If you don't mind your macro keeping you from using any other macros/commands until you're done with it (and if you're trying to do this to begin with, I doubt you do):

/ma "Absorb-STR" <stnpc>
/ma "Absorb-DEX" <stnpc>
/ma "Absorb-MND" <stnpc>
/ma "Absorb-AGI" <stnpc>

Hit Enter/Confirm for STR to cast, wait until it's done, hit Enter/Confirm to start DEX, etc.

Those are the lines for your macro. the "<stnpc>" forces you to manually select an NPC target. However, I still don't think that will work unless you have the wait macro in there.

Re: Absorb macro
No, it works. You can put up to 6 JA/MA/WS commands in a macro that way if you so wished, assuming you waited the appropriate amount of time before you selected the next spell's target. Basically, you do the /waits manually.

Re: Absorb macro
Interesting. Years into this game and I am still learning new stuff.

Re: Absorb macro
Yep, just have to do the waits manually. This is how I roll with Protectra/Shellra (since <stpc> defaults to self if you have an NPC or nothing targeted).

/p (Gather together.) (Protectra) / (Shellra)
/ma "Protectra" <stpc> (Manually wait for party to actually gather, then hit enter.)
/ma "Protectra" <stpc> (Manually wait for Protectra to finish, then hit enter to start Shellra.)

For the absorbs, I'd assume you'd already be auto-attacking or at least /ta <bt> so you don't need to worry about finding the right target.

Re: Absorb macro
I'd also like to point out that while hitting (Cancel) while the game asks you for a target will cancel the rest of the macro, you can "skip" a spell by attempting to cast it while you're already mid-spell or before the 3 second wait between spells is over, or by choosing an invalid target (for JAs you have to choose invalid targets since they're instant.)
