Please Help Me With My Cure Macros :/

Hello,

Im not the ost experienced of players and although I do use SpellCast I only got as far as using </set> and </head etc . etc . > macros.

I have brought about a decent Fastcast/Healing Casting time set now for WHM but I have problems using the following macro:

/sc set WHMfastcast
/ma "Cure V" <stal> <wait .5>
/sc set WHMcureV <wait .5>
/equip Sub "Curatio Grip" <wait 5>
/sc set WHMidle

. . my problem is that <wait .5> seems to be the lowest ffxi can wait and it isnt enough to catch my WHMcureV set before spellcasting ends. This means I end up casting all my cures in a hybrid Cure/Fastcast/Healing Casting time set and its gimp :/.

I have tried to adulterate other people's XML's on this forum but i cannot seem to get things to work. I'm a complete layman noob when it comes to spellcast:/

I would very much appreciate if someone can guide me step by step to get <if> rules into my XML to do the following:

1.Get my Fastcast set into my cures and then switch to my Cure set before casting ends (I seem to feel people use a wait of .2 for this but i do not understand how to put this into XML and Macros).

2. Figure out a way that i don't have to have a line for Grips. I try using XML to </equip> sub weapons/grips/sheilds but always get "You need a 2-handed weapon to equip etc.. .etc" message in FFXI. Is there a way of doing this with SpellCast?

3. I would like to set up a Fastcast <if> rule to equip Fastcast set whenever I cast Protect and Shell and also a Fastcast set then Haste set to run when I cast Raises.

Thanks in advance for all your help :)
