Marking/Pull Macro question

[Ehayte]

I think it's a bad idea to macro in target icons to abilities. There are times when it's nice to be able to use shield lob mid combat like if there's a loose mob or if you need to get out of an AoE but still feel a need to attack the target. Instead I just put marks on F2 through F5 and a mouseover macro bound to each key, hidden from view. Marking the group that way takes but a split second more, and it's much cleaner overall.

Which is awesome if you are using a keyboard and mouse, but its totally inapplicable to PS3 users, such as myself and Thaliss.

Well, okay, but the OP didn't say they were on a PS3, and the reasons you stated for attaching a mark to a regularly used ability were incomplete. Using the button primarily to mark makes you use attacks you may not want to use... using the button primarily to attack screws with marks and may confuse people.

I can understand why people would play on a PS3 if they don't have a PC available, but it does seem like you're really losing functionality by doing so unless you can get a keyboard and mouse that plug into the PS3.

My macro only has auto-attack...no action really, as auto attack turns on on any activated action that is offensive. So...I have no idea what you are talking about. Also, I have way more fun playing on PS3, and I can sit in my chair, and lay on my couch, and feel more in the action with my controller : D I prefer it. And I do have a KB and Mouse I plug into my PS3, but I like to use my controller.
