Benediction macro?

[Typhus]

Thanks for the info Icemage. I'd been using Benediction as a last resort move when I had no mp left. I'm gonna try doing things your way next time.

If you are out of MP, that means you've had plenty of time to cast spells. Instead of spending your last 70MP on heals, cast defensive spells, then wait for the right moment to activate Benediction.

You'll get some really weird responses from party members(I certainly do, the first time some people see me pull my WHM-tanking rroutine), but the results are remarkably effective once you learn how to do it correctly.

That might actually be a good idea. Blink and Stoneskin would definitely buy the melees more time than 2-3 cure II's would. Hmm.

I must admit I've been thinking about party member reactions - most players, be it mages or melees see Benediction as instant death, hence don't like to use it/see it used.

Does sound like it's worth a try, though..

i used Bene for the first time last night, and of course i thought i was dead for sure, we were fighting maze makers and a crawler decided to join the fray who scanned IT to us, we were all down in the red but the crawler never even touched me after i cast it as the warriors did a bang up job saving my ass and we all survived THAT battle. Bene is ace

too bad on my way out i got lost and a pt member came to find me too bad i'd walked the wrong way and the way was blocked by two gobs managed to kill one, but we were too low on everthing by the time we killed him and another attacked, we both died and i felt stupid cause if i had gone the right way none of that would happened.

and yes i do have a freakin map but its just loads of tunnels and my map doesn't show me the way out, why are there no place names on the maze of shakrami or is it just me :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

There is a lv20war Icemage on my server, and the last I heard from him was a plea tell to powerlevel him. A lv20... *sigh*

The huge differences between people sharing one online nickname are amazing, sometimes.
