Question about marcos

[Eugam]

Hi, i start to learn the mystic. Now i learned that a tank bodypulling with a ward from the pervious encounter means that most probably i ll end up doing his job <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Is there any macro to cancel a buff/ward ? <div></div>

<P>There is a /useability function so I wonder if there is a /cancelability. If there is a command line cancelation you need to figure out what it is, then in a macro do like.</P> <P> </P> <P>/target <tanks name> </P> <P>/cancelability <or whatever the command line is> <ward/ability name></P> <P>/say Ready for Pull Fearless Leader!</P> <P> </P> <P>Something like that.</P> <P>If you do find that you can cancel abilitys with a command line let me know please <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

Just turn off Aura of Warding unless you are in a raid.  Problem solved.If it's one of YOUR personal Wards, just cancel it right after combat in your maintained window.<div></div>

That is a tanking problem, not a Mystic problem.See how he likes going without heals for a couple pulls.<div></div>

You just have to train your tanks.  If they are pull crazy, the best thing they can really do is to just pull 3 encounters or so.  When the fight is over he will need to stop for power for a brief moment, long enough for any left over ward to drop. This also usually presents more "fun" than repeated grind one mob at a time in rapid succession combat. <div></div>

[Banditman]

Also a viable solution.You have MORE than enough heal power to handle multiple encounters and then you put it on the tank to hold the aggro.<div></div>

<DIV>Oh I know.. Like last night they were pulling 3-5 groups in the nest at a time. Thats when I didnt turn it off quick enough, since I like to let them run out and then they get the left over as a heal. However I get the aggro. *shrug* yeah I should train the tank. But seriously, shouldn't the tank be mindful of the healer? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know when I play a tank I am VERY mindful of the healer, but then I play one so maybe thats why.</DIV>

<div></div>Found this in the tips and tricks forum, old post so not sure it's 100% accurate:<pre>/CANCEL_Effect [index] - - Cancels buffs (haven't got the science on index yet)or/CANCEL_MAINtained [index] - Cancels conentration buffs (haven't got the science on index yet)</pre>Check the "all / commands" thread:<a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tips&message.id=1957">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tips&message.id=1957</a>Having been both a mystic (70) and a couple tanks working with mystics (45 and 26 currently), it can get rough when wards bleed over. Only thing you can do is try to cancel the ward when the fight is either over or about over if you're trying not to take bounce aggro. If the tank understands wards, there are ways they can help with the bounce on prox pulls, but it's not guaranteed either. What I generally do is carefully prox pull and taunt as soon as they're clear, so unless the mystic is following very closely I generally have room to taunt before they take too many bites...<div></div>

Doenst work, to many hits on the head <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> But serious, this is more about PUG tanks or the odd situation when mobs spawn on top of the tank.I just like a marco on shortcut more then to use my mouse to cancel it.</pre> <div></div><p>Message Edited by Eugam on <span class=date_text>12-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:09 AM</span>
