afaik, each mob has an ID number that you can see using a program. You can use said program to edit the name of the mob that is the PH for the NM so you can clearly see what the PH is without needing WS or anything else.

Sounds neet. Wonder if it's free

In regards to the WHM set bonus testing, I know it's a long shot but it'd be interesting to see if enhancing skill has an affect on proc rate. I'm looking at the beneficus in my inventory....

Thats why I asked for which mob you were referring to...gg

I find bastion is really multibox unfriendly, might as well gear up the whm for meleeing and go to town, because that might be your best bet.

It is once per conquest cycle iirc

Answering my own question. Duo'd MNK + WHM... it was an absolute joke.

Killed "dancer" first... once I got TP to 100% I did Victory Smite > Icarus Wing > Victory Smite > Light.... more than enough to kill her.

After that, went after "sword guy"... had to die because he got Amnesia on me and the WHM had to convert at a bad time. Died with him at 2% and me unable to WS.

Reraised, killed "sword guy"... he went down easy.

Killed the "clone" third. He used the stat absorb move, but it made no difference.

Killed the galka last. He used Hundred Fists, I used Counterstance, and he destroyed himself.

Easy fight.

A friend has been using SpellCast scripts to level his. Just use non-damaging skills and go to sea for a bit.

I do know that you cannot have a Windower macro call upon itself to recast, but I haven't yet tried to have 2-4 macro scripts run each pulling the next. Does anyone know if this will work?
Script1>Script1 will crash. Known. No biggy.
Script1>Script2>Script3>Script4>Script1>etc.... Work or not?

You should be using that for Barspells *anyway*. It also wouldn't logically follow the pattern for the other AF3 sets. Some naturally proc more often due to how they activate, while ones like WHM are flukey since you're not constantly bombarded with magic.

Is there anything I can use to make longer macros?

Are you on PC? If you're on Xbox, I don't think you can.
With PC, you can use Windower (Not the Windowed mode from Square). If you're absolutely against the addons, just disable them.
You can make them quite lengthy, even to the point that it will swap ever piece of gear, cast your spell, and then set you back to an idle set or whatever you want it to do.

**Bilopdop** · 2011-07-19 02:42

Is it a certain addon? Or is it already built in?

That'll crash same as script1>script1.

Easiest way to think of it, every time you call a script in a script, tab over once. Every time a script ends, tab backwards once. If you go too far right, you crash.

Code:

S1
	S1
		S1
			S1
				S1
					<We're going right very quickly>

Code:

S1
	S2
		S3
			S4
				S1
					<We're going right very quickly still>

This is mostly because each script never ends, since it waits for everything it called to end (and so does that one, and so does that one, and so on.

S_Act - Script for the action, like /ma "Barthunder" <me>; wait 5;
S_5 - S_Act;S_Act;S_Act;S_Act;S_Act; - does the action 5 times
S_100 - S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_ 5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_5;S_100 - This is the action 100 times, but a way to keep line length down. After the 100'th action, it calls itself.

Code:

S_100
	S_5
		S_Act
		S_Act
		S_Act
		S_Act
		S_Act
	S_5
		S_Act
		S_Act
		S_Act
		S_Act
		S_Act
		... 17x omitted
	S_5
		S_Act -96
		S_Act -97
		S_Act -98
		S_Act -99
		S_Act -100
	S_100
		S_5
			S_Act
			S_Act
			S_Act
			S_Act
			S_Act
			... 18x omitted
		S_5
			S_Act -196
			S_Act -197
			S_Act -198
			S_Act -199
			S_Act -200
		S_100
			S_5
				S_Act
				S_Act
				S_Act
				.. And so on. Moving right a lot slower this time.

This is functionally no different than having S_Act be "/ma "Barthunder" <me>; wait 5;" and then copy-pasting 100x, but it's easier to write long loops.

As you say though, you can loop with spellcast without this being an issue, and the above serves as an example for non-spellcast actions.
