GearSwap VS Lua

My luas are highly customized to fit my needs (like my goal with my Summoner lua is to reduce everything down to 1 macro page) but they are mostly up to date.

This BLU.lua shows the equipment I use, sets.Evasion, sets.midcast['Blue Magic'].SkillBasedBuff and sets.midcast['Blue Magic'].MagicAccuracy. Evasion is self explanatory, Skill is for Occultation and MACC is for CJ and Entomb (I cast sleep in my EVA set). I mainhand a Bunzi Rod and offhand the Maxentius. Resist happen but are very rare (at least in Sheol B, which where I spend most of my odyssey time now). I use Tizona/Thib or Naeg/Thib to clean up. This odysseva magic set is what I use for Odyssey CJ.

My lua is a somewhat customized Mote's SMN.lua: https://github.com/DrakeFS/GearSwap/blob/master/SMN.lua

For simplicity grab the JOB.lua from my github. You can download the file in a zip format or simply copy paste the script into a new file.

My THF lua (based off of Mote luas) uses F9 to cycle through offensive modes. I can add a mode like DNC

The windower github has some very basic example files. Most modern gearswap lua's have a lot of added QoL features, but if you're looking for something short to get used to how things work, these are solid, if sparse.

I haven't messed with the DressUp addon very much myself, but as I understand it, yeah you totally could reskin any weapon to any other weapon. If changing weapon types, it will correctly change your attack animations to match your preferred look, this will lead to a bit of animation jank on weaponskills. I'd imagine this is less of a problem going from a two-handed weapon to a one-handed weapon than vice-versa. Some of the really "weighty"-looking GS weaponskills like Torcleaver might look a little exaggerated with a regular sword, but using a very agile-looking ws like Vorpal Blade with a greatsword would look kinda silly.

The good news. There is a huge list of Events like the "target change" event provides ID info that can be used to get your target's name, "chat message" event can read anything in the game's log, both system combat messages and player's conversation. It is also easy to see when items have added to the loot pool and whether people have casted lots. Same for obtaining items or losing items out of bags.
