Cover (Mouseover)

Takes the damage aimed at an ally within ten yalms. Cover has a very short window to be useful, so hovering the raid frame and pressing one key beats targeting them first.

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.

Paladin 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.

/micon "Angel Whisper" blueaction
/merror off
/ac "Swiftcast" <wait.1>
/p Raising <t>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <mo>

/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <3>
/blueaction "Angel Whisper" <4>

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.
Clemency (Mouseover)
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Clemency"
/ac "Clemency" <mo>
/ac "Clemency" <t>
/ac "Clemency" <me>
```
Heals whoever is under your cursor, falling back to your target and then to yourself. Clemency is expensive, so the point of the macro is to stop you wasting it on the wrong person while the healer is dead.
Intervention (Focus Target)
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Intervention"
/ac "Intervention" <f>
/ac "Intervention" <mo>
/ac "Intervention" <t>
```
Puts your co-tank mitigation on your focus target. Set your co-tank as focus at the start of the fight and this becomes a fire-and-forget button for every tank buster.
Passage of Arms with Call-Out
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Passage of Arms"
/ac "Passage of Arms"
/p Passage up, stack behind me! <se.3>
```
Passage of Arms only works if the party stands behind you, so the call matters as much as the cast. This fires the ability and posts the reminder in party chat at the same time.
