Provoke Your Focus Target

Taunts your focus target rather than whatever you have selected. Useful from Gladiator onwards, and it stays useful for the whole of Paladin after you job over at thirty.

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.

Gladiator 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.

/merror off
/ac "Swiftcast" <wait.1>
/p Raising <t>

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.
Shirk to a Party Slot
Gladiator
```
/micon "Shirk"
/merror off
/ac "Shirk" <2>
```
Hands a chunk of your enmity to a fixed party slot. Set the number to your co-tank once and the button never needs thinking about again.
