Talk:Puppetmaster Macro Ideas

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

  • /pet "Light Maneuver" <me>
  • /pet Deploy <t>
  • /wait 1
  • /pet Retrieve <me>

works just fine for curing outside battle, and spell-cast time doesn't matter - Hiachi 01:19, 23 October 2008 (UTC) Gotta be sure you are low on MP, and you don't have Flashbulb equipped or it will Dia or Flash the enemy and you'll be dead. --Karakuri 06:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


  • /pet "Light Maneuver" <me>
  • /pet Deploy <t>
  • /wait 1
  • /pet Deactivate <me>

See previous comment...But this is what is written up in the guide. Deactivate will cancel the spell-cast if it is not already completed, but Retrieve will allow it to finish its cast and return to the master. - Hiachi 23:54, 5 December 2008 (UTC)



I'd Suggest for Deactivate macro this one:

  • /echo (Puppet name)HP: <pethp>. Deactivate?? Yes/No
  • /ja "Deactivate" <stpc>

How it works: With <stpc> command, it won't deactivate until you confirm the action. It's like when you macro "Cure <stpc>" it will let you choose between targets before the action gets started. So you'll first read in echo your automaton's HP, and if it's 100% HP, confirm so it can Deactivated. Otherwise, you can always cancel and nothing will happen. This comes in really handy when you accidentally push wrong macro button and don't want to deactivate. --Karakuri 06:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
