P5 Limit Break Macro

You can use this macro to limit break without facing your target; as a phys range with proper positioning, this will allow you to limit break four meteors instead of three.

/mlock
/macroicon "Limit Break"
/autofacetarget off
/ac "Limit Break"
/autofacetarget on

P7 Mit Macro

6-1-1 Mit Plan Macros

Transition, every Akh Morn, and every Gigaflare require Kerachole/Sacred Soil. The correct timing for an Akh Morn kera/SS is immediately after the second trinity in exaflares; this will ensure it catches all of akh morn and will be up for the subsequent giggleflare.
