Thief macro : FFXI General Discussions

Now that i am starting over i guess ill be a mithra thf... Could anyone tell me the SATA macro for thf...

/ja "Trick Attack" <me>
/wait 1
/ja "Sneak Attack" <me>
/wait 1
/ws "whatever" <t>

I recommend doing Trick Attack first because occasionally your macros will lag and the middle part won't go off, so you'll just Sneak Attack + Shark Bite something and get yourself killed pretty quickly. It's safer with Trick Attack first.

thank you

increase the delay to /wait 1.5

thank you and if any of you could give me a leveling chart 1-10....10-20 soloing?

I've noticed a lot of thfs doing this lately too:

- TA+WS on the tank
- run around and then SA the mob from behind.

They say it adds up to more total damage I don't know personally because I'm a whm and have that damage stuff filtered out ^^ I'm only concerned with what happens to people I'm healing lol.

This only applies to Thf 60+ where they gain the new ability assassin. Allows more dmg and 100% critical hit on TA. Before Assassin, TA was not a guaranteed hit, SA was. Thats why they needed to be stacked. Now, you can split and come out with slightly higher dmg overall if split. But depending on party setup, might be better to stack both SATA... especially if your tank is nin.

I learn something everyday thx lol

increase the delay to /wait 1.5

the game system itself does not recognize fractions, so as far as the system is concerned, "/wait 1.5" is the same as "/wait 1"..
i suppose there could be a cheat or hack program that might recognize non-whole numbers, but the game itself does not.

as for SATA macro, the one posted here is fine ^^
good luck on THF

u really should seperate the macro. One for Sneak Attack and another for Trick Attack. This way, if there is lag you wont risk hitting the mob inbetween SA and TA.

I agree with formula. My macros with both in them have never work 100%. It's better to separate them unfortunately.
