Equipset is the jam. In terms of pulling it off with functional macros, would anybody be able to spare some wisdom on /wait before/after any given action? For intance Sneak Attack factors in its DEX bonus when the attack connects, not when the ability is used, so you wouldn't want to macro out of that set until your attack / WS connects. For casting, the stats are factored in when the spell is actually cast, not when you begin casting. For ranged attack, I'd assume it's similar to casting? It's not when you ready your aim, it's when the shot is fired, aye? If I'm not mistaken for the above, it's not too complicated - if I am, please correct me! The hardest part is to create functional macros that equip the sets at the right time and keep them equipped long enough for the respective action. So yeah, if y'all have any tips, I'd love to hear 'em. (I play on PSX controller, so I use /macro set x to reposition my macro bar after certain actions, but regardless I think some good examples or links would go great in this thread!) Thank you! |

Equipsets are super easy. I knew about swapping gear with files but it seemed super tedious and never bothered. I'm glad that equipsets are a thing. As far as ranged attack that's a good question, I'll have to do some testing. |

So for a charm macro example I do /equipset 13 /wait 1 /ja 'Charm' <t> /echo 'Come to me <t>! /equipset 3 |

Yeah I have a hard enough time using a SA macro to bother putting /equipsets in yet. Boost works fantastically though it's much simpler I'd imagine. /equipset 21 <---just a set with af gear even though I suspect only the gloves and chest do anything on nas /ja Boost <me> /wait 1 /equipset 2 <----normal set /wait 14 /echo ------------BOOST READY---------- <---Old habit from before recast was a thing It's also important to leave the top three left bars in the equipset BLANK not X (weapon,offhand,ranged weapon) or you'll always be wiping your TP out. |

You can pre-load it while waiting for your current pet to die, and you can use Tab to change targets before firing it off (or to target something that you're not engaged with). |

This is exactly what I do and it works perfectly! |

I do exactly what Concepcion mentions using a gamepad. That way I can put all my /recast and /equipset before the /action <stnpc> or <stpc> and I can time it right that way. If I want to cancel out, I can. With <me> or <t> the action will happen whether you want to or not, but recently I change my ranged attack macro to /ra <t> because I use it so much on RNG but there is always the danger of shooting with rapid shot, but I think I can manage controlling myself that much LOL |

So the quoted macro becomes: /equipset 13 <wait 1> /ja 'Charm' <t> /echo 'Come to me <t>! /equipset 3 Also, for using equpsets in battle, since changing gear breaks lock target you can add /lockon to your macro. For example: /equipset 1 /ja "Unlimited Shot" <me> <wait 1> /ws "Sidewinder" <t> <wait 1> /equipset 2 /lockon Hope this helps. |
