    How many Macro Books do YOU use?

    So yeah, there are like 20 books of macros. I'm just wondering how many people use right now. Personally, I use just one. I just don't need to use the other 19 but I know some people need to use a few extra books. Anyway, just curious so I threw this poll out there.

    Same. I have a book per job now but use windower macros within each book. RDM has now got 3 full palettes and WHM 3 >< NOt transferred BLM yet but I am anticipating 3-4 for it too. Love they added books. Hate they kept each macro to 6 lines. Won't give up windower until they give me a line per piece of gear.

    Same for me, so I'm really only using about 3-4 books atm. The rest I've yet to fully set up.

    Windower macros, and 5 books. I keep BRD RDM WHM MNK and RDM tanking on separate books so I don't inadvertently equip a Macuahuitl +1 while trying to main heal.

    Re: How many Macro Books do YOU use?

    I should put one for each job.. but I'm lazy to do so. I still use 1 book, but I also use windower macros too.

    Re: How many Macro Books do YOU use?

    Why is using windower a separate option? I use windower macros, but use 4 books just for different BLM builds, 2 books for BRD, and one book each for RDM, WHM, and BLU.

    Re: How many Macro Books do YOU use?

    I originally copied my existing book onto 4 others with the intent of writing situational macro's for each job. I.e. mnk merit (meat), mnk merit (sushi), mnk merit (staff) or w/e.

    It got confusing pretty quickly and I end up using book 1 for all still. I find it easier to just change item names or add or delete the "" etc.

    More macro lines would be better. I don't think the bot argument is as valid now since they target people on delay and activity so much. (bot argument = omg more macro lines is a licence to bot).

    Re: How many Macro Books do YOU use?

    As an Xbox user, windower isn't an option, but I wish it was.

    I use multiple pallets for NIN (solo, merits, main assist - Dynamis, HNM/WAR, HNM/DRK) and I still manage to fit all of that, plus macros for WAR into one book with room left over.

    For organizational purposes, I can see why people would use one book per job, but seriously... one book of macros for WAR??
