Hi,

I need help on a macro I've made. It works, but it's not as elegant as I want it to be.

My idea is switch to the launcher pistol, do health bleed 2, then healthbleed 1, and finally switch to my flamethrower. The problem is I have to use a "pause 4" after the healthshots, otherwise it does not switch to the flamethrower at all.

lpbleedandflameswitch: /ui action toolbarSlot14;/healthshot2;/healthshot1;/pause 4;/ui action toolbarSlot12;

Any ideas on how I can get rid of the pause? I want this attack and switch to go as fast as possible, without having to depend on pause.

Thanks,

Killar

You have to pause.... The way the system reads your macro is to equip slot 14, healthshot2, healthshot1, and equip slot 12 all in immediate succession (ie faster than you could press them). Unfortunately, both healthshot 1&2 actually take time to execute due to weapon speed and special move speed multipliers. So the system is already attempting to switch to your FT by the time the combat que has begun executing the healthshots. Therefore, any time you switch between weapons to execute specials you need to place the appropriate pause for the special before switching weapons. Usually I have just used trial and error on lairs to get the timing down to the way I want it, that way I don't have a bunch of mobs attacking me while I fumble with my macro. Currently I am working on, but don't have how I want, a string of healthshot 1&2, actionshot1, mindshot1, and switch to FT. The problem I have run into is the pauses for different specials on different weapons changes so I can't use a simple /pause 4 for all.
