Tank Macro discovered

[Zell]

Here are some macros I used,

This macro targets enemies marked with signs 1-5 in sequence or assists your focus target (primarily for dps using Tanks as focus) or target nearest enemy if none :

/macroicon "Auto-attack"
/targetenemy
/target <attack5>
/target <attack4>
/target <attack3>
/target <attack2>
/target <attack1>
/as <f>
/facetarget
/wait 1
/battletarget

*/battletarget will target the closest enemy that is currently attacking you and it is added to prevent the targeting to be in limbo state as when enemy dies with sign attack1 still on, it will not fade off immediately thus it will always attempt to target 1, causing no targets to be selected*

This macro below is to quickly target and re-assign signs 2-5 in sequence to 1 to solve limbo signs problems (or you use it to assign attack1 to the target) :

/target <attack5>
/target <attack4>
/target <attack3>
/target <attack2>
/mk off <t>
/wait 1
/mk attack1 <t>
/target <attack1>
/facetarget

I'm not sure how this macro works. I usually mark targets 1-3 and tell group to kill 1 then 2 then 3. Won't this macro attack target 3 first and then do the opposite of what I want. Do I need to change the order so that it goes 1 to 5 instead of 5 to 1? Thanks in advance.

Hi Zell,

This marco will work like how you require it so no change in marking order is needed,

The macro will fire down the list, the targets will get replaced by the lowest line available in this case if you have marked enemies with 1, 2, 3; it will select 3 first but target gets replaced by 2 if it's available and replaced by 1 if available, therefore ultimately you will get the target in 1 to 2 to 3 sequence.

Forgot to mention the macro runs through the list so quickly that it takes less than a second for it to get to the right target whist it's jumping target so it's highly unlikely to weave an attack skill in midst. But there are people with superb reflex so do wait till it gets to the right target before wreaking havoc on the target~ xD

So no order of marking change is needed. Hope it clarifies
