Some useful macro for whm
Well I solo my whm to 13 so the only macro I know of is the really basic one. I need some advance macro to help me out as a whm in a party which I'll be getting into later this week and I need some help with this from the uber player that have been playing whm like forever. What are some macros you'll recommend me to use to make my life easier as a whm. Mind you I'm playing in a keyboard so that's why I need to make my life easier by having a some macro instead of trying to use the tab and other key to select players and trying to figure out who to cure and who to keep an eye on. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Re: Some useful macro for whm
You can use the F1-F6 buttons to target specific party members. F1 targets the player on top of the party list (you) while F6 targets the person on the bottom of the list, F2-F5 targeting those in between. When you use that <stpc> macro, it will pop a purple selection arrow over a party member - use the F1-6 to select the one that needs the Cure and hit "enter".

Also, F7 targets yourself, and F8 targets the nearest non-player (whether it be a mob, pet or npc).

Re: Some useful macro for whm
I always use an '/echo "Spellname/some kind of warning" ' as the first line in my macro because I am horrendously clumsy sometimes and that, along with <stpc> or <stnpc> lets me cancel easily if I have hit the wrong macro.

The other thing that helps me a lot is that I have a rest macro and a ready macro. The macro command to rest is /heal on

My rest macro swaps in all my mp while reasting + gear that I am not currently wearing (Look up Pilgrim's Wand if you don't have one, it's wonderful and useful for a really long time and the NM isn't bad to solo if you take juice once you hit level 14) and sets me resting and my ready macro swaps all my equipment back in ready to fight again and stands me up again. Macro commands for equipment swapping are of the form,

/equip slotname "Item name"

so to equip a Willo Wand +1 in your main slot you would use;

/equip main "Willow Wand +1"


So at the moment my rest macro looks like this:
/echo Resting
/heal on
/equip main "Pilgrim's Wand"
