Dancer Archive

I've been wondering the same thing but I've never seen it done. I'm thinking they would all have to be lined up to make it look good instead of standing in all directions. And some dancers take up a lot more room than others, how would that work into it?

I'm sorry, but there is a huge difference between making macros to cut down on the time you spend pushing buttons so you can chat and trying to build a macro that will loop indefinitely so you can go to work/sleep/etc. and keep dancing and getting xp. Why would you need such a macro just "to chat"?

I agree Hijo. Macros that do three or four flourishes in a row are cool. They give you time to chat away for a minute or so. Then you can invoke it again. This is much more fun, I think. Setting a macro up to loop indefinitely seems to defeat part of the fun.

At least we know who will be getting the tips!

You mentioned getting lots more exp dancing with other entertainers. Is this bugged right now? Last night I wondered why the groups of people dancing and playing music int he cantina kept inviting me. When I was grouped with them I got no more exp than usual. I figured the benefit was only if someone watched/listened to one of them I got the Healing exp as well??

The benefits to performing in a group are tremendous! A customer only has to watch one person in the band for everyone to get the healing XP. The dancing/musician XP you get is a function of the number of people in the band, and the number of people watching the band. If you normally get 8 XP per tic for a dance while you're alone, if you're in a group, this can easily max out at 12 XP or so.

Lets put it this way, my exp will range doing constant flourishes, so maxing my potential exp, anywhere from like 18 exp per tick to up to 43 exp per tick depending on how many people are in the band/troupe and how many are actively preforming. It makes a HUGE difference. Not to mention you share healing exp as well if someone is watching you. I've gotten as much as 80 healing exp per tick. And all these numbers are just at dancing III, just made enough exp for dancing IV so will probably go up more. <cheer> Hope it goes up a lot tho, 100k for next level to become a Dancer

I almost ALWAYS run in macro mode when I am dancing ... it is so much easier to actually engage the customer's and chat rather than wondering "did my flourish run out". I also have some nice routines done in Beta for chaining moves together without trying to remember "did I last do /fl 3 or /fl1??".

So for me, the ability to macro is a godsend ... or to be even more blunt, I would probably not be a dancer if I could. I love being able to do nice dances AND engage in conversation.

When in a Cantina I get 14 Dance exp per flourish no matter how many are in the group.

For Entertainment Healing I get exp based on how many people my group is healing.

I do not get variable Dance exp based on numbers in my group.

Hemloch: And you're all grouped together, and can groupchat? I think that is a /bug possibly. It's supposed to increase steadily based on the # of people in the group.

/agree, that definitely isn't right Hemloch. Either you all are doing something wrong or you are/were bugged. I get about 18 dance xp when I dance solo, and have gotten as much as 40 dance xp in a good group.

Oh... Ghartan, I think we all use some macros to string together some dance moves so we can chat. That discussion was about making a macro that would string them together theoretically until you ran out of action, then sitting you down to rest, then standing up, starting to dance again, etc... i.e., an AFK macro.

back on topic, yes there is a way to loop macros in game.

/me answers questions like this directly and with no other info than was asked.
