Swiftcast Diamondback

Swiftcast into Diamondback for an instant damage wall. Note the wait needs a number — a bare wait tag is silently ignored, which is why so many copied versions of this macro fail.

Where to paste this

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

More FFXIV macros

Blue Mage 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.

  • Angel Whisper Raise

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Angel Whisper" blueaction
/merror off
/ac "Swiftcast" <wait.1>
/p Raising <t>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <mo>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <t>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <2>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <3>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <4>
    +4 more

    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.

  • Cactguard on Your Target of Target

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Cactguard" blueaction
/merror off
/blueaction "Cactguard" <tt>

    Shields whoever your target is attacking, which in practice means the tank. The same pattern works for any co-tank mitigation in the game.

  • Eruption Without the Reticle

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Eruption" blueaction
/blueaction "Eruption" <t>

    Bypasses the ground-targeting ring and drops Eruption straight onto your target. The same trick works for any reticle spell, including Bomb Toss and 4-tonze Weight.

  • Feather Rain Without the Reticle

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Feather Rain" blueaction
/blueaction "Feather Rain" <t>

    The Feather Rain version of the reticle skip. It shares a cooldown with Eruption, so most Blue Mages keep both macros side by side.

  • Magic Hammer and Addle

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Magic Hammer" blueaction
/ac "Addle" <wait.1>
/blueaction "Magic Hammer"

    Stacks the two magic damage reductions in one press. They apply separately, so the combined debuff is stronger than either alone.

  • Phantom Flurry

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Phantom Flurry" blueaction
/blueaction "Phantom Flurry" <wait.5>
/blueaction "Phantom Flurry"

    Starts Phantom Flurry, lets the damage over time run its course, and then fires the finisher. The five-second wait is what makes the finisher land reliably.

  • Swiftcast Loom

    Blue Mage

    /micon "Loom" blueaction
/ac "Swiftcast" <wait.1>
/blueaction "Loom"

    An instant dash, which is worth a great deal in the Masked Carnivale and to controller players in general. Again, the wait needs its number to work.
