Arcanist macros

Limsa Lominsa’s pet class, and the only base class with two jobs — Summoner and Scholar, both unlocked at level 30.

19 macros

Act on Your Focus Target
General
```
/micon "Your Action"
/merror off
/ac "Your Action" <f>
/ac "Your Action" <t>
```
<f> points an action at your focus target regardless of what you have selected. Set your co-tank or the enemy you need to watch as focus, and the macro becomes a permanent second target you can act on at will.
Announce the Limit Break
General
```
/p Taking LB <se.3>
```
Tells the party you are taking the limit break before you use it. Two people using it at once wastes the bar entirely, which makes the announcement the important half of this macro.
Clear Every Marker
General
```
/marking off <t>
/echo Markers cleared <se.1>
```
Wipes all target signs at once. Worth binding next to your marker macros, because stale markers from the last pull cause more confusion than no markers at all.
Copy a Hotbar Between Jobs
General
```
/hotbar copy PLD 1 current 1
/echo Hotbar copied <se.1>
```
Copies one hotbar from another job onto the current one. Set your utility bar up once, then push it to every job instead of dragging icons forty times.
How Waits Actually Work
General
```
/ac "First Action" <wait.3>
/ac "Second Action" <wait.2>
/echo Sequence finished <se.1>
```
A wait only accepts whole numbers from 1 to 60, and the game rounds your timing to the nearest second, which is why macros drift out of sync with the global cooldown. This is exactly why combat rotations should not be macroed, and why crafting rotations can be.
One-Key Gear Set Swap
General
```
/gearset change 3
/echo Switched gear set <se.1>
```
Changes to a numbered gear set and announces it to yourself. Crafters and gatherers who cycle through eleven jobs live on these — one macro per set, all on the same hotbar page.
Physick (Mouseover)
Arcanist
```
/micon "Physick"
/merror off
/ac "Physick" <mo>
/ac "Physick" <t>
/ac "Physick" <me>
```
Arcanist heals with Physick, not Cure — a mistake copied through a great many old macro lists. This heals your hovered target and falls back sensibly.
Resurrection (Mouseover)
Arcanist
```
/micon "Resurrection"
/merror off
/ac "Resurrection" <mo>
/ac "Resurrection" <t>
/p Raising <tt> <se.1>
```
Arcanist is the only class below thirty with a raise. Hover the body, press once, and tell the party so nobody duplicates the cast.
Set Kill Order Markers
General
```
/merror off
/marking attack1 <t>
```
Drops a numbered attack marker on your current target. Party leads keep one macro per marker so kill order can be set without opening the signs menu mid-pull.
Set Yourself Busy
General
```
/busy
/echo Status toggled <se.1>
```
Flips your online status to Busy so party finder invites and tells stop arriving mid-pull. Run the same line again to clear it.
Simple Pull Timer
General
```
/p Pulling in 15 <se.1> <wait.5>
/p Pulling in 10 <wait.5>
/p Pulling in 5 <wait.1>
/p 4 <wait.1>
/p 3 <wait.1>
/p 2 <wait.1>
/p 1 <se.1>
```
+2 more
A plain countdown with no sound on the middle numbers, for groups that find the full version noisy. Waits are capped at whole seconds, so the timing is approximate by design.
Sprint on One Key
General
```
/micon "Sprint" generalaction
/generalaction "Sprint"
```
Sprint is a general action rather than a job action, so it needs /generalaction instead of /ac. This trips people up when they try to macro it and nothing happens.

Other FFXIV jobs

Every job shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
