What is a macro for a dancer buff? I am a Master Dancer and have no idea how to buff people! Thanks!

Ok first thing you do is /startd . After you start skill animating the person who wants a buff from you /watches you. You'll then /setperf on him. Then you just flourish a bunch of times. After a while the person watching you will /stopwatch and have a buff.

The alternative is that the person or people you want to buff join your group. Then you can skip the /setperf step.


You're welcome.

i don't know, i think she might be a real dancer. I had no idea how to buff when I first got master. I find that bots say "I HAVE a dancer..." whereas real dancers say "I AMa dancer...."

This is true... and with the cantinas over-run with zombies as they are these days, it's likely that many real dancers could end up in this dilema... since they leveled within groups of zombies, they wouldn't have had the interaction with real entertainers the way I did when I first started dancing.

I still remember how the entire entertainergroup I was in laughed the first time we saw someone put "please heal me" in their macro.

I knew buffs were possible but I never bothered with it until I hit Tech 4, since noone wanted them anyway.
Then i had asked a friend how they worked.

Dancer buffs are far from self-explanatory.

Trying to give a small step by step description:
- start dancing
- get the other to /watch you
- target him/her and type /setperform
- now flourish as often as you can for a duration of around 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Make it a bit longer to make sure.
- Tell him/her to /stopwatch

Macros usually use a delay of 8 seconds, and then do 5 flourishes then another 8 seconds pause, for the total duration of 3:10 minutes.

Another version is to flourish only once every 10 seconds, but for around 8-10 minutes. Thats what was used a lot when I learned it, noone knew about overflourishing then, and they also work perfectly without buff, heals or accarragm, but today you'll probably be screamed at and all if you try to take 8 minutes time for a buff.

Buffs are changed with the next publish, they will only take half the time then.

Thank you all so much! I've had people ask me to buff them but I didn't know how but now I do! Thanks!


Also: can I buff many people at once if they all are in my group?

The max number of people you can buff at the same time is twenty. (19 people in your group and one person thorugh /setperf).

yes you can, they have to watch you, the rest works same as above, just that you don't have to /setperform on anyone.
You can however additionally /setperform on someone outside the group, the groupbuff still works then.

ok thanks!

I tried doing the group thing with out/setperform and it didn't take for anyone! do i need some /setperformgroup command or something? thanks!

Did you remember to flourish regularly? There is no command for a buff in a group. The players in your group just have to watch you.
