So many bugs with macros, just learn different combos and use the skills normally, always the best way

do a seperate Macro for all above, A macro for Flesh ream and for Devour. You can surely combine them, but you always have to wait for the devour CD so your fleshream will be "rarely" used. If you intend to somehow keep Aggro then don't combine them. If you can't hold aggro anyway, just use the devour macro.

Fleshream and Devour Macros are both made the same way.

In macro editor:

1. Walk Behind Enemy
2. Auto Attack
3. Devour or Flesh Ream
4. Auto Attack

That's it.

You cannot properly play your character using macros.

Macros are just good for buffs or to do a chain of chi generating skills when your not in fight.

Do macro's like these loop? These would be nice when I duo with my barb or cleric on bosses that dont stun ect like in the lower TT's and coa. I went to COA for the first time in 3+ years b:chuckle on my sin. Ended up in the winning instance but missed the 400 tokens for the ring by like 15. Next time i will bring my barb as i know sage devour will give me quite a few more kills during that 45 mins. It would be nice if that macro loops then i only have to do it once per mob. Or does that not loop ? Thanks in advanced

The "walk behind" icon is the repeat button. Some bad translation or something on PWIs part. How Joe's macro works is just like a spark macro where walk behind tells it to repeat when it gets to the end so your barb starts with an attack then tries to devour, if its in cd or doesn't have chi it attacks again then tries to devour again. So your macro continues attacking until devour is available, devours, then starts attacking again and starts the loop until devour is available again.

Joe also touched on a good point. Using Devour for aggro is controversial because it gives you a bit more aggro but it gives the DDs more aggro, too. A 50% pdef debuff is about 30% more damage for your phys DDs, like sins, BMs, and Archers. If you're having a hard time with you sin doing 100k dps (ave for a level 90-100 sin with Morai or R8 daggers) and suddenly they're doing 130k dps it debatable as to whether Devour helps you more or helps them take aggro more. Devour did just get an aggro bump but its still not really enough to make it worth it imo.

There's also the debate as to whether a barb should ever FR in a high level squad. FR causes bosses to move which makes your sin have to chase him, leaving him vulnerable and without any paint heals and possibly causing him to lose his spark early. Many barb have killed or nearly killed my sin with the I R tank attitude. FR also causes aggro bounce and causes bosses to aoe more as aggro changes. If you have a sin that is comfortable with tanking its much safer and quicker for everyone if you Devour. When devouring the sin will get about 30% more heals from paint. You'll also be reducing the bosses attack levels so the sin wont be taken as much damage and the aoes wont be as bad for your squad. And you'll save chi.

So Joe is right on with choosing devour or FR. Also, a devour+FR macro burns through chi really fast and you can't add bestial rage to your macro since instant effects stop a macro chain.

Just my two cents.

Thanks that will help me out alot. I have never been one to use macros, but duoing with my cleric or barb I can come up with some macros to help out some.

I just tried that out in 3-1, it worked very well even more so against gba boss. Took alot of time off of killing him which translates to lower probability to get purged often.
