Macro's that are actually useful ?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

And this is why no one on this forum takes you seriously.

There are some classes who suffer a massive opening burst DPS loss without proper pulling etiquette.

I suffer massive DPS loss when my ears bleed to bad pull macros.

No you don't. :P

And if your noise tolerance is so low that you can't handle a couple pings in chat you may want to not play video games.

If a Tank had a macro like that, and I was a healer DPS. I would literally just pull for them.

I thank my god everyday I go without meeting you on my server.

And if I were the tank I'll just let the mobs bite your face off and wipe while laughing. Then again, I don't have a pull macro and even if I did I wouldn't use it outside of raid/trials.

Has SE ever mentioned why their macro system doesn't queue?

For SMN/SCH the macros that swap pet abilities on your bar when you summon a pet are pretty nice. Those are the only macros I use, though.

If I remember correctly, it's because they don't want players to cheese through the game by macro-ing multiple actions together.

Which is why I suggested for single action (and probably announcements) macros to be given the ability to queue. I believe it would make a nice QoL update, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon, if it even would.

It's been mentioned before but repeating the lines amounts to a pseudo queue buffer of .1ish seconds per line.

Would you mind elaborating since I'm not sure I follow? Did they say why it would cheese the game? Would allowing macros to queue lead to rotation macros similar to what RIFT ended up with?

What about <mo>? Why would they give us a mouse over command we can't use because macros also break healing spell queues?

I'm not trying to be confrontational or anything. I legit don't understand since as it is now, things can be macro'd together or with text commands such as <t>, <tt>, <mo> etc, but the only reason it isn't common is because it's detrimental in one way or another (DPS loss, slow-to-fire heals).

Seems odd.

Pretty much. It was a post from really long ago so I'm not even sure if I remember it correctly. But I do agree that macro could use some QoL upgrades.

i have an entire hotbar macro system setup so i can change classes in two button presses instead of a letter press and like 4 mouse clicks
/micon 1 gearset
/gs change 1
/hotbar display 8

etc etc. i change classes often cuz crafting/gathering, and indecisive so its useful for me anyway
