Yeah the transpose is my go to when I find myself too low of mana. That convert is sacred and always used with Flare. Also, looking closer, I would replace your regular blizzard on that macro above with a fire III. The fire III would be fast cast, you would end up with a stack of mana, and have astral fire III at the end.
Hmm, I don't think the macro works like you are thinking it does. What you are thinking of is a macro with /wait 2.6 in between the casts. Those really don't work even a little because of moving.
The kind of macro
without wait times just does the first ability where the conditions are met, and then stops. Then you press it again and it checks from the top down again.
How is your Swiftcast > Flare > Convert one written? With wait times?
Without wait times the Convert would sometimes go off
before Flare, because of the issue where instants can sometimes go off before casting time spells. With wait times it should be ok, because even if you start moving Convert will still go off.
That may be a good one for shaving off a half second by using /wait 2.5 or /wait 2.6. Although with latency in a big fight the GCD sometimes takes just a tad more than 2.5 seconds causing /wait macros to fail.
Still works for crafting at least:
/ac "Manipulation" <ma>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Basic Touch" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Basic Touch" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Basic Touch" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Basic Touch" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <me>
I generally take a Macro similar to this and modify for the specific recipe before cranking out 10+ of whatever. This one was for cotton cloth. They change from level to level and recipe to recipe though. You can't really share them because nto everyone has the same gear/level/support abilities form other classes.
The point is just that /wait 2.5 works for low latency stuff.
I really enjoy playing with macro, just that BLM is too dynamic for the same one to work all the time.
