So WARs now are terrorizing bards with their Berserk macro too?

Those are the sound effects.

Exactly. When I'm healing, I'm watching health bars anyways and statuses are easy to see. I Esuna right away.

Why would a bard spend more than a global to wardens a warrior's berserk? A global for them is way worse than a global for the healers.

As healer I'm fine seeing a macro but keep it 1 line and remove sound effects or people will get annoyed. Otherwise it's pretty informative really.

5s of a WAR's DPS is infinitely more important than 3s of a BRD's. If you don't use Paean you should feel bad.

I quite like the macros if done right, 3-5 seconds notice with a single <se.#>

Btw warriors 5 seconds is really good if you have a Scholar with Selene out, if they have her set to Obey she has a delay.

If I have the time i'll cleanse it, if I don't tough luck it wasn't a priority at the time. If you put the macro so that it pops as Weakness comes into effect, tough luck, I wont cleanse it even if i'm free, it only lasts a five seconds and your not getting the maximum benefit of me cleansing it late, go learn to write better macros.

I prefer the macro, I can pre-cast Leeches or set Selene off in advance that way I cleanse as it comes up, if you wait for the icon you may have to wait for your gcd to come back or if you have a gcd it still takes a second to remove, also by that point you can't use Selene as she will pop Fey Caress as Weakness drops anyway..

all macros annoys me, the only one I seen needed are the LB one, like don't move the boss I will LB ._.

No. It's not the fact that it's one GCD, but rather the upkeep and flow of our role being disrupted on something that's incredibly simple for any healer to take care of. Your self entitlement is borderline nauseating.

I really really hate the macros and sounds especialy. I have zero problems removing the debuff. Yeah. Teamwork! I expect to be removing the debuff when I get a warrior just like I expect to be using any other healing spelling. Just shutup about it you self important jerk.

Bard in my group just adds it to their pre fight buffs. Stoneskin succor, adlo, wardens, pull, unchain berzerk. Long as you pull and pop zerk within 10 sec of the cast, it will kill the pacification.

Mid fight my whm gets it. Sometimes. But just coordinating it prepull is already awesome by itself since your prob gonna unchain/zerk anyway. Precast and it doesn't hurt anyone.

That's a bit dumb to be honest. Unless the macro uses an annoying <SE> then why would it bother you so much for a tank to help clear the clutter of icons on their buff/debuff list by just letting you know when they fire off Berserk and to be ready for pacification? There are already enough mechanics to worry about is it really so painful to have a warrior chime in about Berserk?

The text spam is also really anmoying. My thoughts. "Someone has something important to say in party chat... wait no. Its that warrior's macro for the tenth time this run." Its just a distraction. If a healer isnt removing the debuff then just talk to them like people.

Every time I see a WAR using those macros I don't fcking esuna/leeches that fcker,

Especially the ones who have the countdown ones with <se.><se.>. Way to be fcking annoying.

Asking to improve performance= terrorizing

It is when you use a really annoying macro.

I love the fact he said TERRORIZING! Lol. I don't think he understands how strong of a word that is. Annoying or irritating would have been appropriate but TERRORIZING? HAHAHA! I'm seriously laughing out loud. XD

Please do. The macro is unnecessary. Use the ability when you know you're going to get healed.

I don't use any macros. You can't miss the icon, it's red and white and should be the only thing up along with your stance lol.

Op, you're awesome.... As healer of my raid I hate that my BRD rarely sings for me because he wants moar DPS... so! I'll take revenge and tell to my WAR (Who also wants to do moar DPS) that warden's paen can prevent pacification!

Mwahahahahaha! Sweet revenge.

Haha yeah. Irritating is a much better word. Reminds me of a news cast from the movie Chase with Charlie Sheen. TERROR ON THE FREEWAY *insert demonic sound*

I used to think so. I went a LONG time without my (very very simple and single-sound) macro in DFs, and for some reason the very obvious cast of it was never recognized, as the buff would never be applied to the party.

I'd say for the first few weeks, 15% of the time it was successful. Telltale pink icon of awesome spread among the group.

With the macro, it's now at 80%+

I think you're missing the point of the WAR macros. WARs don't expect to have the pacification debuff removed every single time. But by informing someone capable of of removing it, we give the power to the healer, and if the healer decides it's best to remove it, they will do so.

---

No, trust me, all you're doing is annoying the piss out of your party and making the healer not even want to esuna you.

If you're already tanking something (or if AoE heals are being used), yeah, the macro is pretty pointless. So basically, the majority of the time, it should be pointless because most fights should fall under these conditions, and if it isn't it's probably a joke fight anyway.

Code:

---

/macroicon "Berserk"
/ac "Berserk"
/ac "Berserk"
/ac "Berserk"
/p !!!!BERSERK USED!!!! <se.7>
/wait 15.0
/p ESUNA/LEECHES PLEASE <se.9> 5!
/wait 1.0
/p ESUNA/LEECHES PLEASE <se.9> 4!
/wait 1.0
/p ESUNA/LEECHES PLEASE <se.9> 3!
/wait 1.0
/p ESUNA/LEECHES PLEASE <se.9> 2!
/wait 1.0
/p ESUNA/LEECHES PLEASE <se.9> 1!

=)

SPREAD THE MACRO!

If Warden's Paean can block atleast Berserk's Pacification. Shouldn't they have lowered its GCD to that of the same of Esuna or Leeches? 3 Seconds to cast something mid battle could be a bit daring, especially in tight dps check fights. I wouldnt mind if they lowered it to 1 second cast and have its duration reduced to like...10 seconds?

I'd much rather you not remove my pacification, thanks. How else am I going to center myself for applying more pain.

Had a WAR in A1 last night that had a Berserk macro, complete with chimes. The annoying part wasn't so much the wall of text.....it was the 5-8 second delay after Berserk wore off that "How's my parse now??" popped up in the chat log.

So. Annoying.
