Macro question

[Brigog]

<DIV>Okie after grinding for hours on end today and my finger feeling as if it was gonna fall off I decided to try to make a macro to cut down on mouse/number clicks. Basicly what I did was made a text file with the following info:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>useability icy talon<BR>useability waking Dragon<BR>useability diving phoenix<BR>useability biting mantis<BR>useability striking cobra<BR>useability charging tiger<BR>useability freezing palm<BR>useability lunging mongoose<BR>useability flying dragon<BR>useability silent palm<BR>useability waking Dragon<BR>useability diving phoenix</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>and then used the command "/do_file_commands ability_macro.txt" When I click the key it casts the first spell then cues one more. I wanna know if anyone knows how to put a .5 sec pause between each of the abilitys so that when im doing dps I can click one key and have it run through my abilitys. I tryed using "pause 1", "pause 10", "/pause 1", and "/pause 10" none worked for me but if anyone knows please help. I will say this does work for anyone who would rather hit one key rather then a bunch of them. Just click the same key over and over and they go one after another but that brings me back the the problem of having to spam a button...</DIV>

Sorry, there are currently no "pause" functionality, so the most you can do in a macro is 2 attacks. 1 that you set off imidieatly, and 1 that you cue up.(Want this myself, but it probably makes things too easy for the botters).

Well, to be quite honest, simply spamming all specials is not really an effective way of playing your character anyway. :smileyhappy:

Truly, it might be the worst way of fighting for us. By spamming specials not only you lose a ton of auto-attack dmg but you're waisting the duration of our stuns and stifles. <span>:smileysad: It might be effective against green mobs though. </span><span></span> <div></div>

(which was corrected i believe) or you time specials between autoattack swing ? Oo (but dual wielding and hasted with a delay of less than one sec hard to find when you do not autoattack :p)</div>

There's only 0.5 sec between combat arts if they're spammed. <div></div>
