  • Level 99 BLM Macros: Help me build!

    I'm building my macros for BLM as we speak and I'm looking for some creative input from you guys who have played the job more than I have. Thanks to WHM, NIN, SMN, COR and PUP, I have very limited Macro space left to play with. I'm basically limited to 1 book at this point. So here's what I'm thinking:

    Macro Book 1: Page 1 (Root)

    You still use spellcast, right? I never macroed any of my nukes as blm. //blizzard5 etc.

      White magic should be using <stpc> or <stpt>/<stal>. That'd be my preference since people tend to blink and if you're intending to just cast it on yourself you could use <me> instead.

      I could be mistaken but I am reasonably certain Addendum: Black adds nothing to your spell list as a Black Mage. It ends up being a waste of a stratagem.
      I'd have a separate macro for Addendum:Black, possibly make it part of a dispel macro?
      Similarly, don't burn a stratagem on Addendum:White unless you need access to the spells it provides.

      I'm not seeing a Sleep or Sleepga macro. Ideally you'd open with those and then overwrite them with the tier 2 version before they wear(or just after you -aga and wake everything up again).

      Not seeing storm spells or klimaform in there. Things to consider, though probably not mission critical.

      I'm not even going to try to follow how it's all laid out since that's a personal preference thing.

      Dunno about on BLM, but on RDM I just have my tier 4s macroed and tier 1 blizzard for finishing things off. Any other nukes get typed it. //ALLtheSpells

        Klimaform... theres something I need. I'll also look into altering my sleepga macros and edit the Addendum: White so it only appears in the "Reraise" macro.

          Also: -na spells are granted under addendum white. Those aren't native sadly.

            There's one important line that seems to be missing in all cases.

              It's all contained within 1 book.

              Page 1 is for buffs and idle stuff. It links to Pages 2 and 4.

              Page 2 is for Procs and links to Pages 1 and 3. Page 3 is for additional procs that didn't fit in page 2.

              Page 4 is for Nuking and links to pages 5 and 1. Page 5 is for additional Nukes that didn't fit on page 4.

              Every page, invcluding page 1, links to page 1... in case I ever need to get back to the root or if for some reason my "return to page 1" macro fails to properly swap my gear back to idle page 1 gear. It's a fail-safe.

              I assume that with the further change I'll be making, I'll likely make a few adjustments to the way things will work and extend the nuking pages to 3-fold. I'll also likely alter the Root page 1 to include proper Sleeping macros.

              Time to continue my edits.

                  Auto-curing after converting isn't always wise. I know it's standard operating procedure but I always found it made more sense to leave yourself the flexibility of not spiking hate right after you dropped your HP into the red. That's just my own personal preference though.

                      Lower tiers of pro/shell generally aren't worth macroing in, but that's not really an issue.

                      What I do see as an issue is a lack of OMFGPANICBUTTON in the form of PDT/MDT macros. You can't always outrun the -aga spell and enmity douse isn't always up.

                        I'll find somewhere to put them in... maybe... but that involves collecting and carrying around PDT and MDT gear. I'm not into that. I'd rather keep RR up and take the hit to the face or try and outrun it.

                        I do have 2 pretty nice rings for PDT and MDT... and I do have the Jelly Ring... and I do have some MDT things lying around... and I did just get the MDT ring from Gulool a Ja.

                        Goddamn it Cid.

                            You should ideally be idling with pdt/mdt in every slot that doesn't have an auto-regen/refresh option. Compromises for budget and inventory space are understandable, but at least an umbra cape, earth/terra's staff and some decent dark rings are compulsory, imo.
