Group/Raid Spam Messages

[Vandiyan]

Do any of you Swashs spam any type of chat (for CAs) when you raid or group.  As an example I made one for Swipe so that whoever might be keeping a timer can calculate the difference the Swipe will make.  I know the Brigand in our raids has a couple of different raid wide spams that he will throw out to let people know of specific things and was wondering if Swashs really have anything that we should let people know.  Thanks.

Inspiration, at least.

Only when swiping here.

Inspiration? That's absurd. That's like a wizard spamming every time they ice nova.

I really don't see why swipe is necessary. It has a 30 sec duration with a 30 sec recast, it should be up on the mob at all times unless it misses.

<p>ACT automatically picks up swipe. So no need to spam it. When swipe is active ACT puts a 150%aa tab on the timer.</p><p>Personally I hate any raid spam. I don't need to knwo when jesters hat/death march/life burn etc etc are up. If you need a heal or are likely to.. tell a healer <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

The only good macros are for the Advance Warning (so that other AoE blockers know yours is up and don't use theirs) and evac. All the rest macros are pointless.
