Black Mage Macro Guide by Stigmar

Black Mage

Why Write this Guide?

I get asked a lot what kind of macros do I use even had people ask for the macro dat file but what is a real pain is copying and pasting each one out the game in Skype so I have decided to write this short (ha ha ha good one) and in depth guide.

Why Use Macros?

Macros can be a life saver if your limited on a ps3 to a crossbar for space they also allow you to map a button presses into doing different things such as making sure internal release is up all the time on a warrior for example.

Macros to automate my Rotation

In theory this is possible but because this game requires dodging and the mob likes to move around making a single macro to do a rotation is a bad idea as should it move or you move or you hit another macro it will interrupt the macro and you will have to start over using and this will actually reduce your dps because of the wait times required.

Here are just a few ideas for macros to help condense the hot/cross bar a bit.
