Bad Macro Ideas

[Sevyrr]

So I recently had a brainwave and made a macro for Flash.

/action Flash
/wait 0.5
/p {Flash}! Ah-ah! He'll save every one of us!

You'll notice there are no sound effects, so all it does is flood the chat log if I ever spam it, but... I get a lot of saltiness along the lines of:

why are you using a macro on such a commonly used move. FFS

What about you guys? Any inappropriate macros intended purely for fun? (Not necessarily on tanking classes, but I started this here because mine was on Paladin.)

[Ragology]

/ac shadowbind
/p Shadowbind on <t> Watch your aggro!<tt>

/micon shadowbind

I use this when a mob gets away and attacks a non tank. It's made to be relevant even if the tank takes back a mob before I can shadowbind it ( since it'd be telling the tank to keep track of aggro targets)

I've thought about changing it to something more obnoxious like

/p Dang it <tt>! You had ONE job!

I saw a Paladin once with a Flash macro for "My boobs can hold aggro too!"

I'll probably edit this post later this evening with an idea I had earlier for what could be the most annoying /ac /p macro series ever (though I hesitate, because then we'd actually see its like in the game, and I would feel terrible).

Please, please, please do! XD

Is it the famous [Boost] macro? Do not keep us waiting!!!

Boost macro is best macro

I thankfully only experienced this once. And I cannot remember which job, I want to say it was a PLD. Long time ago in LotA. Dude had a macro with text flavor for every single ability. EVERY.... SINGLE.... ONE..... Every ON GCD, every OFF GCD, every ability with long timer, LB, everything. Holy hell I am glad I have only seen that once.

The only in-game warning I've ever gotten is because of a countdown macro that starts at 20 and has a sound effect on every line. Well, two macros I guess.


Here they are:

Copy/paste those in game and you have yourself a lovely countdown macro for all your pulling needs. You can also use it to call out boss attacks 20 seconds in advance I guess.
