I am looking for a nice spell cast that can change spell sets with magic or JA's not just for the JA like sneak attack. I mean lets say i wanted to switch to a strict TH set i would use /ja uppercut or something like that. I have checked all over bluegartr and ffxiah forums and have not found one that i have liked. Anyone else got something there hiding that i can steal? (no pun attended) Thank you in advanced.

Not sure what you are asking for.
What exactly do you want to do with the TH set?

I just have a TH-set and switch it in when it's needed (once per fight), like a PDT/MDT set.

Engage > autoset TP > hit TH macro > back to TP gear for the rest of the fight.

I'll probally just go back the old fasion way with this but i was just looking to keep everything in spellcast. I wanted it to switch to TH set or evasion set and tp set with other off groups like TP/haste TP/hybrid TP/evasion and PureEvasion something similar to that.

Well, can start out like this:
Code
<sets>
        <group name="THF" default="yes">
            <set name="Idle">
            </set>

            <set name="TP">
            </set>

            <set name="haste">
            </set>

            <set name="TH">
            </set>

            <set name="Evasion">
            </set>

            <set name="MDT">
            </set>

            <!-- WS Sets -->
            <set name="Evisceration">
            </set>

            <set name="SA">
            </set>

        </group>

        <group name="THF_Eva" default="no" inherit="THF">
            <set name="idle">
            </set>

            <set name="TP">
            </set>
        </group>

        <group name="THF_Hybrid" default="no" inherit="THF">
            <set name="idle">
            </set>

            <set name="TP">
            </set>
        </group>


and add some rules to it for JAs, WS' and spells.

Can either make sets for your JAs in the first group or just add the gear you want to be used in the rules section (as most just require 1 piece of gear, like flee and whatnot).

Ya know, I should start a business to write spellcast XML's for people... It'd be a goldmine.

No problem, hope it helps.

Not sure if you know this but you can switch to the group, that you want to use, by making a macro with "/sc group NameOfTheGroup" and if you just want to switch to a certain set rq, a macro with "/sc set NameOfTheSet".

If you have any other questions, can PM me.
I just don't have a full .xml I'd share. Working on one from time to time but idc enough about THF to finish it. >_<

Hehe. Well, you can make basic .xmls for any job in a jiffy.

A lot is always the same, only the names of the JAs/WS'/Spells change.
If you have a working .xml for a job-type already (mage or melee), you won't have to re-invent the wheel.

Obviously, some stuff always needs to be specified a bit more but basic stuff doesn't change.
