RAISE MACROS

[Toutatis]

Macros that incorporate swiftcast+ rez spells are slow and useless.

By the time a raise macro goes off, I already had time to swiftcast + rez unless I am on CD with my swiftcast in which case the other healer’s macro is also useless.

It’s faster to see/hear if my co-heal is casting swiftcast than waiting to see if a message appears in the chat (which I don’t read anyway).

When a rez goes out, an icon appears in the party list beside the name of the person being resurrected.

If a healer is slow casting, party list shows the castbar and who is targeted.

It’s also possible to focus target the other healer and see who they are targeting.

It can be useful to give a heads up of what is coming (i.e. swiftcast up in x) but a slow macro of an unstoppable event is not.

I just wish I could have a macro that wouldn't waste Swiftcast if I was out of range for the raise.

This is another reason to not use an all in one rez macro, even moreso if it’s one that moves the target to the next dead person. Simple solution: target first (you’ll know if you are in range for the rez), use swiftcast after.

Don't do these, it seriously count as spam, and you can get reported and suspended for it.

I have 2 raise macros for my rdm. One says Don't you die on me players name then use raise. Other have says Looks like you need a raise then players name then uses raise.

You risk getting reported for spam, as fun as they can be, quite a few of them can be found offending as well.

I encountered a whm with a text macro for each time they put regen on someone last week in msq roulette…

I saw an astrologian in leveling roulette once who had different Yugioh macros for every single card action.

They got kicked as soon as possible because it was so bloody annoying.

Raise macros should be bannable behavior.

Raise macros should be bannable behavior.

I've encountered one or 2 that were genuinely brilliant, so I definitely fall into "they had their time, no longer needed and you're probably not as funny as you think you are" camp.

That being said- if this becomes a bannable offense, why not start banning other (potentially) annoying uses of macros ? It starts to become rather difficult to know where to draw the line.

I would rather implement design improvements, perhaps as a previous poster suggested, it could be effects (such as sparkly feathers) that would show when a raise has been placed on someone. That might not solve the issue, but I'm a bit of an optimist - I would hope that after enough times of someone saying the equivalent of "hey Jack- are you blind- can't you see the feathers on Jill?" Jack is going to stop with the raise macro and start looking for sparkly feathers first.

It never ceases to amaze me what people find offensive these days. Annoying, yes. Offensive, no.
