I mean I press cntrl+V and it does the heal/self, then press cntrl+c and it puts my shield back on. Both hotkeys through razor, although you could set em up right through the macros options in the game itself.

Nope, you can't set up the shield equiping through the game macros. That is the problem. All you can do through macros is to equip lastobject, means object that you double-clicked last, so you'd have to double click your shield first.

We all started with UO options first, lastobject lasttarget, I think everyone remembers such a macro for every scroll lol. All the good of it was that everyones backpack was so organized, but rest... Seriously, if you agree that programm shouldn't decide WHEN to cast, but stuff like using scroll on last target after you decided to press a key is is ok (thats how I think) then thats what most people do use. I think this way, and I think using script like autoheal when your HP is X or drinking mana what your mana is X, or even casting FS when targets HP are X is indeed lame, but it's also not so good, as if it's heal for example then when opponent started to dump you and your'e dying, fs him back , his script will start healing up. I mean , brain beats the machine man, most of times it does xd

P.S.
I've read what you wrote, but you claim a lot of people use automatic stuff here, while it's not truth and my take is that you're just too slow with keys or maybe too laggy, but quick to accuse people in stuff. Try learning to play before posting threads on forum, and then blame people for quick answers, aight?
