    Utsusemi / Haste Gear macros

    Does anyone happen to know if you need haste gear to be equipped prior to starting the Utsusemi cast, or does it just need to be equipped prior to the cast being finished to have an effect?

    Also, what is the suggested "/wait" times for both Ichi and Ni before swapping back to TP gear?

    Re: Utsusemi / Haste Gear macros

    Prior to the cast being finished. For example:

    /ma "Utsusemi: NI/Ichi"
    /equip "haste gear"
    /equip "haste gear"
    /equip etc.

    Would work as a macro in regards to reducing cast times.

    Don't put a /wait macro to switch back to TP gear, have it as a different macro and hit it when once you see that you put shadows back up.

    ...Or at least that's what I did.

    Yeah, wasn't really thinking on that... I should have known better, especially as a former WHM who used to bitch endlessly regarding tanks flashing on and off my screen, while they're getting hit.

    Ok for ni, but if you get interrupted using ichi youll be blinking like crazy while your mage is trying to cure.

    Only if you panic and hammer on your macro, which you hopefully won't.....

    Real WHMs type out /ma "Cure V" Name.
    And gear swaps be damned.

    Re: Utsusemi / Haste Gear macros

    a separate macro to swap your gear out after casting utsusemi is your best bet... wait timers like to fuck up with me a lot, but maybe that's just me.

    and srsly, healers should be making special macros for their tanks. if you got a healer that's crying about a tank blinking, /slap em 8)

    As people said, Haste gear just needs to be on at the end of the cast to affect recast; however Fast Cast gear has to be on at the beginning of the cast

    Lol this sort of reminds me of a player once who swore up and down that on blm you should start the cast in your "nuking" gear and before it goes off sub in all your elemental skill gear. This way you'll get the full dmg set, and also no resists!
