White Mage Macro Guide

My name is Lide and I am a 54 White Mage/ Black Mage on the Diabolos server. When i first started out there wasn't a Wiki to help me out with many things i needed to know, so i relied on a Strategy Guide to help me out with things such as Macros.

This is a simple guide on making macros for White Mage. Macros may be simple to make, but if you want to grab the party's attention when casting a Cure or buff spells then here's a few macros that i have set up for my White Mage. Since one of the version updates a while back it is now possible to have multiple spaces for macros but i still like keeping the old fashioned 2 row macro set up ^.^.

I am only adding the macros that i use myself, if you have macros you wish to contribute then please add them into this guide! Sometimes Macros can cause a lot of traffic but adding your own funny lines can be fun.

Cure Macros:
Some White mages like to add in who they are curing to their macros, i personally don't but if you want to heres a few ways to make those macros.


 * Cure
 * /party Cure => 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Cure" 


 * Cure II
 * /party Cure => 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Cure II" 


 * Cure III
 * /party Cure => 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Cure" 


 * and so on...

Buff Macros:
It's always good to tell the party when you're going to cast Protectra or Shellra or any other buff, these are some ways i do it.


 * Protectra and shellra combo
 * /party Gather together Protectra and Shellra!
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Protectra" 
 * /wait 16
 * /ma "Shellra" 


 * i have found that waiting 16 seconds is the right time between casting protectra and shellra, it can be different for Red mage but this macro is just fine for White mage and the call grabs some of the party member's attention (if they have their sound on)


 * Haste
 * /party Double time! Haste! => 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Haste" 


 * Regen
 * /party Regen => 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Regen" 


 * Erase
 * /party Erase 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Erase" 

Attack Macros:
Adding text to your attack spells such as Dia and Paralyze can let the Black mage or Red mage know exactly what your casting ahead of time so they don't cast the same spell.


 * Dia
 * /party Dia 
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Dia" 


 * Silence
 * /party May you be silenced <t>!
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Silence" <t>


 * Paralyze
 * /party Paralyze => <t>
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Paralyze" <t>


 * Slow
 * /party get slowed <t>!
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Slow" <t>


 * Flash
 * /party check out my Flash light <t>!
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Flash" <t>


 * as a white mage you will never have to use flash, but if the Paladin doesn't have it then it's probably a good idea to add it, or if you are just soloing.


 * Holy
 * /party Holy <t>!
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Holy" <t>

Job Abilities:
Even though macros can only save you a quick second, as a white mage that second can cost you a life! Divine Seal and Benediction may be helpful in your macros.


 * Divine Seal
 * /ja "Divine seal" <me>
 * /wait 1
 * /ma "Cure II" <t>


 * Benediction
 * /party Oh no! Last resort! Benediction in 3!
 * /wait 3
 * /ja "Benediction" <me>


 * i doubt you will ever have to have Benediction as a macro but you never know! if you are going to use it always let the party know!

Other Important Macros:
Heres some macros that may be important that aren't included in the above.


 * Mp low warning
 * /party Watch out! MP:<mp>


 * Mp low critical
 * /party hello! MP:<mp>


 * These macros are a must! Not everyone in the party will pay attention to the White mage's MP and it's also good to have if there is a Red mage in the party so they know to cast refresh. I personally just have the warning one, i rarely ever get to a critical point.
