    one for you macro pros :)

    some bards are using a macro which lets their grp know that a mob is silenced
    (pretty standard macro)

    i am looking for a similar macro for my drg.

    but:

    as you all might knoow the stun from drg can fail.
    is their a way to get this into the marco?

    when it comes to silence mobs, ppl are just using soemthing like this

    /macroicon "Blunt Arrow"
    /ac "Blunt Arrow" <t>
    /wait
    /p <t> is Silenced! <se.1>

    when it comes to the stun of drg, it can fail.
    so if i just used the party tell cmd the bard uses, i would misinform my grp at some point.

    so all the blabla in short ^^:
    is the a macro which checks if my stun worked
    something like

    "if stun works then /p stunned"

    cheers

    You can't make a macro like that, you can only make a macro that says you used stun, not something that only triggers if it worked.

    No actual programming language that can work in macro's i fear.

    There's two ways you can solve this however.

    A) Try to word your macro diffirently, for example "I'm using my stun!" opposed to "X is stunned!". In this case, if it works great. If not, atleast you gave notice. People should be on their toes regardless and look for themselves if it worked or not.

    or

    B) Make a second macro button, which would be rediculous, but would involve a silent stun action firing off with button #1. And a manual input under button #2 that displays a line to the party saying "the <t> is stunned!" if you see that you stunned it.

    Nothing short of chatlog-reading third party apps that would basicly be scripted bots would work towards what you want to do with it otherwise.

    i worried there isnt a way to do that but thx you guys.

    just had a second thought and im using my stun to max my dps inbetween other skills. with that in mmind i would spam the grp chat quite much if i use a stun macro
    so this can be closed.

    thanks anyway

    I'd also say that there is no fight that I know of that would require a DRG to let the party you know you are stunning anything. I wouldn't stress too much

    I can think of one actually. Diabolos and stunning Nightmare, but yeah.. isn't really a big deal. xD

    Stuns will mount resistance, so I need to know if were already used three to decide if keep on place or flee.

    /macroicon "idontknowthedrgskillname"
    /ac "idontknowthedrgskillname" <t>
    /wait
    /p <t> is getting stunned! <se.1>



    Then make a different macro and place it next to your previous one keybind and use it in case you don't see your target getting stunned :]

    /p Sorry <t> didn't get stunned! <se.whatever>
