Macro usage

[Tam_Hawkins]

Thanks for all the answers^^

1) No, as long as it's not a skill you'll use often.

2) I'm not sure I understand this one.

3) No.

2) I meant that after using the macro a text Comes out saying: "Cover used on [playername], stay Close"
Playername would always be the covered Player no matter if i use mouse over, target or Targets target but it seems that is not possible.

One of the big annoyances with "I used this skill!" macro is when you add sound effects. Only add sound effects if they are REALLY necessary, like warning macros for boss abilities (think Ramuh Ex, GET ORBS NOW!<se.10>).

When your macro has multiple different possible targets as your example then no, you can't output with 100% certainty who it hits.

I'm not planing any sounds in my macro (they really annoy me to)

use /wait1 so if you spam something (e.g. cover) the party chat line will only show up once. I like it when people use macros to tell me what they're doing tbh, useful for healers/tanks, not so much dps.

To clarify:
/macro ability here
/wait1
/p using "ability"!

You can spam it and the chat will only appear once.

Thanks thats a good idea^^

This. If you PVP I'd also like to add that it would be lovely if you could disable any sound effects (and chat log text) for when you're in a match as it's very disorientating to hear alerts for things which have nothing to do with you sometimes in there. I don't mind sound effects and text alerts when it's something important and relevant, of course.

A lot of PLDs I play with use a text alert for Divine Veil but not for things like Clemency.

Not playing pvp but I'll try to remember this in case i ever take it up.
