Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with the crafting macro listed in the FAQ (grinded the crafting side of combat medic using it), but I am more thinking along the lines of setting a macro up so when I use my pet to tank I can stach the mind poisons up before attacking with my rifle. I am thinking that hopefully my pet's health will be enough to be able to hold the NS Elder/Krayt/DJM off for long enough to get the poison's applied and then I can start to heal the pet.


So, if I was to put the macro on the F1 then the poisons on F2-F7 (Area Mind ABC, Mind ABC) it should hopefully work using the below:


Target your prey....


/ui action toolbarSlot01;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot02;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot03;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot04;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot05;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot06;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot07;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarSlot00;


I think I might of answered my own question lol, but I am at work so I can not try it.

Does anyone have details of a Macro that stacks mind poison (abc) ranged and area? I have searched but not found anything?

I think running a macro to stack poisons is silly, and more than a little dangerous. If you are not using halva, you will effectively freeze yourself for 12 seconds, which is... dangerous to say the least. However, if you want to set up a macroto stack poisons, the way to do it is with mixing "/pause x" commands with "/ui action toolbarSlotxx" commands.


The "/ui action toolbarSlot" command is used to activate a tool bar slot, with F1 on the top bar being "toolbarSlot00", F12 on the top bar being "toolbarSlot11", shift-F1 being "toolbarSlot12" and shift-F12 being "toolbarSlot23". Note that capitalization and lack of spaces is important.


The "/pause x" time is used to wait, where x is the number of seconds to wait. I've been told fractions of seconds, like 3.5, work, but have not tested that myself.


So to create the macro for example, put a poison C in F1, an area poison C in F2, and a poison B in F3. Then the macro might look like:


SittingDuck:

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/pause 5;

/ui action toolbarSlot01;

/pause 5;

/ui action toolbarSlot 02;

/burst;

/shout Whew, I'm glad I'm not dead.;


Of course you will need to play with the macro a little to get it to work right, but that should get you started. I believe there might be a little information about this in the FAQ in regards to the crafting macro, but am not sure.

Well, three comments:


1) Are you sure you want to make the macro self-looping? After the first set, if you do it again, the majority of poisons won't have an appreciable effect, and you are just being rooted/not shooting with your riflefor that much longer.


2) Are you sure you want 2 second pauses. I believe the standard throw time for a master combat medic is 4 second throw time (increase to 4.5 or 5, for server lag reasons). I assume you are using halva then...


3) If you want to self-loop the macro, there is a better way to do it. If you name your macro "LotsOPoisons", you can reference it by using the command "/macro LotsOPoisons" (capatalization matters). This will free up a toolbar slot, and let you switch toolbars when you want to. You can dump out of this, and all other macros, with the command "/dump".

I'd also have to say you'd be better applying the manually. In the case of a resist you always want to get the heavy hitters on first.



If you decide to use the macro you can get out of it by using /dump if you needed to though.

Good points... Forget the looping, that really is not necesscary as stated as once they are applied then they should not need to be re-applied (must of looped it out of habit for all that grinding I have done over the months). I was taking a 2 second pause based on using halva.


Thanks for the comments.
