This one is from far my favorite, it was the first thing I did when we finally could macro the mount. It does 3 things :
- If you have your chocobo up for battle or in stable, you will mount your chocobo, if not, you will mount another mount.
- Before you will mount, you will set your summon in steady mode. Which mean that your summon won't go and attack the first mob you will aggro then disappear.
- When you will dismount it will set back the summon on guard mode to protect you if a monster attack you.

Please for the love of all that is good (or bad if that's your style), DO NOT put your fancy text before your actions. Why? Because when one spams their macro hotkey/button/etc as one is wont to do, it floods the chat. Add a sound effect and I can promise there's a person who get horrible eye twitching from the following.

Alternatively, try a macro like this:

Then, spam away. It won't actually go through until your skill does, AND you can get fancy text!
I'm not entirely sure that this is accurate. My CC macros look like this:
/micon "Repose"
/mk off
/action "Repose" <t>
/party "Repose" on <t>!
/wait 1
/mk bind1 <t>
The shoutout goes through to my party as soon as I press the button, even though the shoutout is after the command text. I tend to be pretty precise with my skill-usage, so I rarely spam party chat, but it has happened. Not sure how your example is different than mine, though.

What he means (and he's right for that) is if you have your text first, the action can not go (happened to me since then I changed).
RE: Post your Macros! - Meena - 05-05-2015

Mouse over means I never have to click anyone's name ever. I can just ohover over thei nameplate on the enemy/ally/party list and click mah button and it targets them.

In the above, spamming the button does the text before the action. ...so if the action isn't ready, it will only do the text, and nothing else. It's particularly with trigger-happy button-mashers (like me), which is why I don't really macro anything that will end up in a text box.
RE: Post your Macros! - OverlordOutpost - 05-06-2015
I avoid Combat Macros like the plague, since they screw up skill queuing and lower response times.
The few macros I do use are generally <mo> (mouse over) macros for healing spells where time is of the absolute essence, and a text macro for when I resurrect someone so the other healer knows I handled it or Provoke for similar reasons.
I have a HUGE dislike of "RP" Macros for skills and any ASCII art-spam macros. Â If your skill is important enough that it's going to ping up in the chat, it better be crucial to the encounter to some degree. Â I've had people that've macro'd skills like Rage of Halone and Energy Drain and others, which goes off multiple times an encounter and just serves to spam the chat.
---
RP-wise, I have a bunch of Macros that let me use expressions and keep them up for a minute or so, as well as a Menu-System macro that let's me open up little sub-menus and quickly switch classes and access tools without having to do anything.
/hotbar copy <class> <number> <toclass> <tonumber> is utterly amazing in that regard.
RE: Post your Macros! - KitKat - 05-07-2015
I only have a handful of macros I use in combat.
Raise/Resurrection have a sound attached and a party message saying I'm raising someone.
I had mouseover Stoneskin for Turn 10, but I removed that.
I have a metric ton of crafting macros. I've got my super easy 40 durability ones, medium difficulty 40 durability ones, my 100% 2 star HQ one, my 2.5 star recipe item ones, my sub-1 star 80 durability HQ one, and so on.
RE: Post your Macros! - Menelwen - 05-07-2015
RE: Post your Macros! - SunTzu7 - 05-07-2015
I macro the hell out of everything. Since I play on PS4, and since swapping between hotbars always makes hilarious doom (Example: Warrior had Defiance on Hotbar 2 on the same spot as Heavy Swing. Number of times Defiance got turned off doing a combo - Far, far too many.), I have all my classes down to sixteen buttons.
But I think my best Macros are my Bard ones.
/micon 'Mage's Ballad'
/ac 'Mage's Ballad'
/party "There once was a healer who ran out of MP. They had so little MP, everyone died excruciating, agonizing deaths. The end. Anyway, the moral is, Mage's Ballad up."
/wait 4
/ac 'Battle Voice'
/micon 'Foe's Requiem'
/ac 'Foe's Requiem'
/party "As I play a song for thy souls, hark, thy fate sucketh. Foe's Requiem live."
/wait 4
/ac 'Battle Voice'
/micon 'Army's Paeon'
/ac 'Army's Paeon'
/party "I sing up thy skills, for the payment of many bills. Army's Paeon on."

I did use a lot back in WoW but that was mostly because I felt that the game's combat wasn't nearly as smooth and efficient as FFXIV's is. It helps that FFXIV doesn't completely change how a class works with each new major content patch.
That's more or less how I have it. I don't use macros because I do just fine without them. I actually had to be badgered into using macros in WoW when we were pushing endgame content in order to maximize my Hunter DPS. I have no need (nor desire) to maximize in FFXIV, so I have no combat macros.
I might make some RP macros, but I'm content enough just writing out the emotes and such myself, and I can't quite think of anything that I use that is used frequently enough that I can't just type out myself. The only one I have is a little "joke" transformation macro where I can switch from Red Rabbit armor to White Rabbit under the graphics of an Oath change.
... In short, I effectively gave Chachan a joke "Trance" ability.

That thankfully may never be a case, at present; Combat Macros for DPS purposes only lower your DPS because of delays and queuing.
RE: Post your Macros! - Qhora Bajihri - 05-07-2015
I have a macro for Eos, because she's so incredibly stupid I have to use her on Obey to prevent her from being stupid. Even with the macro, she ends up being stupid and not finishing it for whatever reasons she decides, but at least it's all on one hotkey I can mash.
Everything else, I do manually.
I have on occasion had macros for crafting, but they change so often, I just stopped. If it's important, I'll do it by hand. If it's not, I'll quicksynth or Steady Hand II/Rapid Synth. If it's a big deal, I'll head to google to find someone else's macro.

I think I'm still confused. The offensive macro you posted and mine are the same, functionally. If you mash either button for either of these macros, the text will go off in party chat regardless of if the ability is off CD or not.
Are you just saying that people should be more precise with their macros that also include text, or are you saying that macros that include text should simply not be used?

I think the implication is that it is good for people using macros with text like how both of you presented it - with the text AFTER the action and not before. That way, the text won't appear until the action completes successfully, avoiding a wall of text if you're mashing that Swiftcast/Rez macro to get it off as soon as it's off cooldown.

But that's not true. In my macro, with the text coming after the command, it still displays the text regardless of whether my action goes off or not.
In a recent dungeon, I was being glomped by particularly friendly mobs and tried to sleep them. In my haste, I did double tap my Repose macro within about a half-second, and despite Repose only triggering once, my alert text happened twice.
Would putting in a /wait before the text remove this issue?
Hmm... will be testing a bit when I get in game.
