The Blackest Night (Mouseover)

Shields whoever is under your cursor, otherwise yourself. The Blackest Night gives you Dark Arts when it breaks, so putting it on the person about to be hit is both a save and a damage gain.

Where to paste this

Open the main menu → System → User Macros (or type /macro).
Pick a slot, name the macro and choose an icon — /macroicon "Spell Name" makes the button show that action’s cooldown and range.
Write one command per line, using /ac "Action Name" for abilities.
Add <wait.3> at the end of a line to pause three seconds before the next one.
Drag the macro from the User Macros window onto a hotbar slot.

Dark Knight macros first, then the rest of the FFXIV library.

Act on Your Focus Target
General
```
/micon "Your Action"
/merror off
/ac "Your Action" <f>
/ac "Your Action" <t>
```
<f> points an action at your focus target regardless of what you have selected. Set your co-tank or the enemy you need to watch as focus, and the macro becomes a permanent second target you can act on at will.
Addle on Focus
Thaumaturge
```
/micon "Addle"
/merror off
/ac "Addle" <f>
/ac "Addle" <t>
```
The caster damage reduction, pointed at your focus target so you never have to leave the thing you are casting on.
Adloquium (Mouseover)
Scholar
```
/macroicon "Adloquium"
/ac "Adloquium" <mo>
/ac "Adloquium" <t>
/ac "Adloquium" <me>
```
Shields the person under your cursor. Scholar lives or dies on pre-shielding the right target, and mouseover is the only way to do it without losing Broil casts.

Swiftcasts a raise and then walks every party slot until one lands. Angel Whisper has a long cooldown, so the chat call-out stops a second raiser wasting theirs on the same body.

Announce the Limit Break
General
```
/p Taking LB <se.3>
```
Tells the party you are taking the limit break before you use it. Two people using it at once wastes the bar entirely, which makes the announcement the important half of this macro.
Arcane Crest on Self
Reaper
```
/macroicon "Arcane Crest"
/ac "Arcane Crest" <me>
```
A small shield that turns into party healing when it breaks. Explicitly self-targeting stops the macro from failing while you have an enemy selected.
Aurora (Mouseover)
Gunbreaker
```
/macroicon "Aurora"
/ac "Aurora" <mo>
/ac "Aurora" <me>
```
A regen you can hand to anybody. Off-tank, dead-weight damage dealer, yourself between pulls — hover and press.
Living Dead with Healer Warning
Dark Knight
```
/macroicon "Living Dead"
/ac "Living Dead"
/p Living Dead — heal me now! <se.5>
```
Living Dead only saves you if the healers top you off within the Walking Dead window. Announcing it the moment it goes up is the difference between an invulnerability and a death.
