new macro system and pvp

[Kael Grace]

<p>I've always had problems getting all the spells to work in my macros.   sometimes, only the first of three works.  sometimes, it's one and three, but not two.     I presume this problem has had something to do with recovery time on the prior spell etc.   I don't know for certain.    Anyway, I am hoping that the new macro system has fixed this problem or permitted macro users to devise a fix for this problem.   </p><p>I have a pvp bruiser and fury.  Am trying to design macros to permit me to play them from two accounts simultaneously.   That means I'd like to trigger a number of actions, click onto the other account, trigger a number of actions back, and then return... all while fighting pvp. </p><p>Any thoughts on 1.  whether this is possible, and if so, how?; and 2. what strategies to use for these two specific classes? </p><p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I do belive useability is still only limited to 2 items. This is becaus of the following scenario-</p><p>Spell 1 - cast time 3 seconds Spell 2 - Cast time 2 second Spell 3 - Cast time 1 Seconds</p><p>If you click Spell 1, 2 & 3 (the scenario you state above with your macro) Spell one is casting, Spell 2 becomes Queue'd and upon clicking the third spell, the Spell in Queue moves from spell 2 to spell 3 thus, spell 2 does not get cast and only 1 and 3.</p><p>Now, if Spell 1 has not become active again do it its long recast time and you cast spell 1 2 & 3 again, Spell 1 gets skipped, Spell 2 starts casting and Spell 3 is in Queue.</p><p> Hope that explains your problem.</p>

Or if He had given me 4 hands. That said, I think your strategy should be the same as how a fury and bruiser would play pvp when they were two players and set your macros accordingly. This means the fury needs to prevent damage, heal damage that is done and keep distance (all buffs are given before fight starts). The bruiser should taunt the enemy, hold em from getting to the fury (i.e. do the 'tanking'<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, avoid being hit and make damage.</p><p>It's an interesting thought -play them both simultaneously - but man! what are you getting in to? I doubt you can do good pvp this way.. Assuming you don't have to alt-tab and use 2 screens/keyboards in between actions, you alone still have no chance against the reactionspeed of any group, played by real people. </p><p>Interesting as it might be, I wouldn't advise playing with furies heal/debuff and bruisers taunt/hit macro's. The difference between pve and pvp is <i>by definition</i> the unpredictable reactions of your (human) enemies. In pve, against npc's it would be a different ballgame, and this might work. Don't expect it to work in pvp. </p><p>Unless you're betrayed it feels unnatural for me as 100% Qeynosian to advise a freep (bruiser).. so I stop here<img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>If you are sticking to this 2-accounts-pvp.. Good luck is the best I can say. </p>
