Old EQ1 timer here.... question on the new EQ2 macros

[NummieSh]

<DIV>I played a cleric in EQ1 and it was very easy to set up macros to let people know that the monster Complete Heal was casting...... and that YES YOU MR TANK better not run off!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I started up a guardian a few weeks ago and find myself quite often in the roll of puller/lead when running through dungeons.  I tried to set up a pulling macro that used the Target Encounter Taunt along with a message to the group stating that I was pulling and what my primary attack was on..... but the syste is not as user friendly as I remember EQ 1's macros.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>**note - I LOVE the new implied/secondary targeting system in the game now!  OMG that rocks!**</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question to you guys........ </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What macros do you have set up and how did you set them up?  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/cheers!</DIV>

When trying to sneak through enemy territory:<blockquote>/gsay Look out! %t is ready to attack me!/point</blockquote>When harvesting:<blockquote>/: ; usea Foresting ; usea Fishing ; usea Trapping ; usea Gathering/: ; usea Mining ; usea Collecting</blockquote>In fights:<blockquote>/: ; usea Orc Master's Smite ; usea Skeleton Master's Smite ; usea Goblin Master's Smite <i>(and so on)</i></blockquote>When picking fights (and not being the tank):<blockquote>/gsay Let's kill %t!/point</blockquote>When panicking (use with care; /yelling for help will throw away all the loot and XP you would have got from the mob):<blockquote>/yell/say Arrrgh! This is too much! Someone come and help me!</blockquote><div></div>
