And Oh yes, definately agree with you on the putting Mark and IC on as many mobs as you can. Sometimes the mobs don't like long enough for them to matter on multiple mobs, but on mob like double blood colosus....you will see HUGE numbers from those 2 spells.

I use the profitUI with click to cure, but I usually switch the targets in my group with F-keys and cure with 1234. I do it blind and very fast. I act like a piano player

question: what do you cast first?
Involuntary restoration or mark

Haha, same here.

Absolutely agree wtih Nyax. Only difference with mine: group window runs parallel to hobars.

I have one for every damage type, and I have stuck to them since I saw them, because of the fact that I got tired of seeing tanks one shotted by extreme debuffs or huge DOT's. With debuffs like Invalidation, Mayong's Touch and the like, getting a cure through fast is paramount, so having a one-click solution has benefitted me most.

I've also used the /cancel_spellcast command in conjunction with heals, in cases in which I was expecting damage spikes and I was in a dps group waiting for it. You can just spam one key and it will automatically cancel itself and cast itself again, sparing you a wasted heal and recast timer.

With the new macro system, it gets even easier if you find yourself curing the same person over and over again for the same exact thing, when you can use the /useabilityon command

Great tip. Thank you.

I am shocked Calbiyum does not have a casting order tip

After giving the cure macros a chance I reluctantly decided to remove them. I really love em but I just have too many lag issues in zones like MMIS, which prevent casting. and I don't like that I can't utilize this feature through the click-to-cure group window.
