Cool Way to Change Jobs & Hide Hotbar in FFXIV 

I feel like the minion macro should be before the snap, because summoning has a delay, and it would be more dramatic of the job changes and the minion pops up at the same time. Just speculating.

haha! I do this as well and have a minion to match even my DoH/DoL for example "The Major-General" when I go fishing. ^_^

i am trying to set up the minion one and i can seem to get it to work. i don't have the snap emote but that should't be a problem. /micon "Soul of the Red Mage" item /gearset change 19 /Minion abroader otter

@Derrick Hamer It has to be in quotes and spelled exactly as its shown in the minion list. So /minion "Abroader Otter"

So been playing around with it and figured it out. I have the same macro saved as individual and shared. I have the individual macro on my hot bar and was editing my shared one if that makes sense.

Love this idea!! I borrowed your concept and made megaflare macros for my magical toons as well. What do your megaflare macros look like? I'm using but find that it cuts off the animation most of the time. (Oddly enough, switching between SMN and SCH does the full animation but changes jobs at the top of the leap--exactly as I want. But the rest of them get cut off at the top of the leap, and then they abruptly appear on the ground to switch jobs.) Just wondering how you have these set up...

Ooh, so you could also use the snap thing to change glamours on the fly? That sounds really cool.

@@ksamusilver212 only in cities and such of course. Doesn't work in the open world.

It's pretty old the thing with snap. Have used it for almost one year now :3

Why not just use wxhb crossbar where you can immediately see your cooldown instead of switching crossbar?

@@crowofcainhurst For me it comes down to keeping my eyes near the middle of the screen instead of tunnel visioning on the bottom of the screen and the buttons.

That's true, but remember that will only work if your gear set names are default

@@Jolsnyou can use your custom names too

Yes, but as he says in the video, he uses all the other buttons on that hotbar as temporary storage.

Controller player here. Absolutely. I have a macro on one of my cross hotbars that changes my HUD layout to a layout that shows my cross hotbar big and center of screen, and changes the active hotbar to a specific one that houses my job macros. Then, each job macro switches gearset, changes my active cross hotbar back to 1, changes my HUD layout back to normal, and for good measure changes my petsize to small on all but my SMN. So it's like I have this really fast and snappy sub menu I created for changing jobs. And any time I get a new idea for what else the job macros can do for me, I just add them in to the macros.

It rounds the value to the nearest whole second. 1.5 seconds rounds up to 2, while 1.4 rounds down to 1.

@@kreggur ahh! So that's what did it. I never tried more than 1.5 seconds, so I didn't realize. Thanks for pointing that out!

another tip if it does not work take /micon 3 gearset replace the 3 with any gearset

Decimals don't work for waits. They round up or down. Rounding up to the next whole number starting with .5

@@serfraust idk, just going off what it seemed like for me, and 3.5 definitely looked a little shorter to me.

@@BulborbStare This is so very easy to test that I'm surprised this myth of decimal wait times has lived all these years. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ATMol99jQ4.html Use two /echo macros with /wait and and it becomes super obvious that decimals are ignored below 5 and rounded up at 5 or higher.

/micon "Jobname" classjob

Also, [on/off] isn't required but I guess it's nice to read in case you forget what the macro really does, haha

Every job has their own hotbar layout, so you just need to make sure when you set up your hotbar for the macros, it's always the same layout

^

You can if you use /ac "Skill" Within the macro after it switches. You might need a however.

@@serfraust TIL RU-vid's preview of comments will literally hide anything in < and > which was very confusing. Thanks!

The wait command doesn't respond to decimal places, it only uses whole numbers, rounding down any decimals. This is specifically to dissuade use of it for combat macros, as the default GCD is 2.5 seconds.

Make sure you don't hide the hotbar before the job change happens, that will cancel it

I don't play on PS5, but I think that macros still work the same way. Do you have any idea what may be wrong?

@@Jolsn I figured it out I had a type 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you tho 😁

@@kuroshirayuki great, have fun!

German keyboard magic

@@Jolsn lmao I see. German's be flexing even with their keyboards. Lol

at least this one is a rather old trick that people found out rather quickly after the emote was released. And this video was requested after he kinda showed himself using it in an earlier video.
