Macros for CAs

Dingo2 · 08-29-2008, 02:55 AM

I am wondering if folks could provide examples of the macros they use for the brigand CAs

I only use really one macro.. maybe another one for pulling mobs when tanking..

/g and /r INC DISPATCH (24.1 secs) =» mine is funnier than that but this is a model..

/useability dispatched

thats it

I have roughen and HO starter macroed and Secure and HO starter I wouldnt recommend using macros for ther other cas at all simply sort your stuff from highest to lowest recast you will find yourself a good line up for timing also

Hardly anything here.

Just a /raid message attached to Dispatched, and another to cast Sneak before using Rob. Anything else is just fluff, battle cries, etc.

I would not make a macro that has the dispatch message and Dispatch on the same hotkey. During raids, the mob can turn a little or even get flipped around (usually RIGHT when you are hitting dispatch...lol) So, you have to hit it a couple times or run to the other side if the mob doesn't flip around right away and then hit it again, this spams the raid and can get annoying if it happens often.I also have macros that combine Sneak/Rob, Boot Dagger/Rob, Hideaway/Rob - I have Hideaway by itself, too, since combining the two can defeat the purpose of Hideaway if used to drop aggro, since the hit with Rob can throw you right back on top of the hate list.

'eh, if they keep twirlin' the mob, I'll just spam the bastages.

LOL, that's what I do

I've got the raid message attached to Dispatched. I've also got an emote for Thieves Guild and an emote/group message for Safehouse. If I started putting CAs together on different macros, it would trip me up and screw up the casting sequences and then I just start button mashing and Double Up gets messed up, etc. hehe.

I'm a young brigand (60ish) who has been using macros up until this point. It can work pretty well when you're solo'n/questing. But now I've got a couple macro that are 3 commands deep. ...and they don't always seem to fire off like they're supposed to. Plus it's hard to see what's fresh & what's not. I suspect that lowers my dps slightly. So I'm about to undo most of mine.

I put about 95% of my damage abilites onto one button and mash that button when i want to play "Lazymode".

I use the macro system extensively to cut down on hunting for the ability I want to use. And considering that most of our abilities are very similar to each other I just stacked the HO and all the frontal/non positional attacks and one button, another button for all the rear attacks, then keep the stuns seperate buttons. This cuts down on having 5-6 primary buttons instead of 10-20 and allows me to enjoy the game much more than clicking on a long series of similar abilities.

I can't claim originality on this one, but my only casting macro casts Appeal for Mercy on myself and then Shenanigans, and I use it in PvP.
