I've recently been doing trials for my NIN katanas, and came across this issue w/ macroing in the katana i want while fighting.

This issue may have been addressed, however I wanted to ask if anyone have an answer to this issue beside mog satchel.

Is there an application made so this can be achieved?

My sets:
STR/DEX for WS
AGIx2 for EVA single hit mobs.
PDT-x2 for multi-hit mobs/quick attacking
INTx2 for Ele-Ninjutsu

A clear example of what I'd like to happen.

Lets say fighting a mnk mob who can aoe and kill shadows. My standard weapons would be a armor set + Pdt-x2 katanas to minimize my damage taken. someone ws, while i'm fighting a mob I macro in my WS set + STR/DEX katana and WS also. After I WS, we create a SC, so i macro in my INT+MAB + INT/MAB katanas to magic burst myself for more dmg and keep hate. Is this possible?

**I'm addressing this to all jobs w/ multi-trial weapons w/ diff. attributes for situations**

Maybe I am not understanding but you want to change your katanas from PDT to STR for your weaponskill?

No such app exists, they all have the same ID so any macro will just equip one of the weapons at random.

You realize you're losing all TP when you switch weapons, right? Macroing in STR/DEX for WS isn't gonna work.

And why not just macro in terra\earth staff if you need the pdt that badly? :P

you cant mac swap the same weapons of the same name just different stats w/o MS. Only way it would work other wise is only have 2 in your inventory cause it would force the system to read those two more then two would produce a random equip. They have the same code just different sub code. Is why they came up with the syenegry system,

How does someone get to 85 and not realise you cannot do this. You'd literally have to have never equipped weapons anywhere but in town with no tp whatsoever to not know it doesnt work...

*edit* Lawl word failure.

the str katana ws then swapping to mab katanas to MB is doable
but swapping from PDT/EVA to STR for a WS is not

but all having the same name, would have to do by equip menu

TP is lost when weapons change

To be fair, the hat (complete with unremoved sticker, if I'm not mistaken) and extended middle finger aren't saying much for this guy's intelligence.

True. And the plain white walls of his obvious prison cell just seal the deal.
