I have been looking for a good Macro to use to attack stuff after I was done at night and so was not able to find one so I did a little research and found out how to make one and thought I would share it with everyone else.

Im sure there are better ones out there but I thought there might be some one else like me that could use some thing so here it is

First I put my favored Attack ability in the F5 toolbar box and my next in the F6 box
Then I Named the Macro Attackbot and picked an icon for it.
Next I wrote the actual macro out here it is and an explanation of what each command does.

/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
This command Targets the most distant attackable target
/pause 3;
This make the Macro wait a short time before executing the next command
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
This command is the same as hitting the F5 key Hint by the way the F1 key is toolbarSlot00 and Shift F1 is 12
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
This command is the same as hitting the F6 key
/loot;
This loots the targeted body if it’s dead
/pause 3;
This make the Macro wait a short time before executing the next command
/target self;
This Make you target yourself1
/pause 3;
This make the Macro wait a short time before executing the next command
/macro Attackbot;
This Restarts the Macro if you change the name of the Marco them make sure you change it here to or it will only run once, Hint also it you want to run another Macro after this one say a healing one then put its name here and this ones name at the bottom of it.

1 Why do use the target yourself at the bottom of the macro you ask, I noticed in testing earlier versions of this Macro that after I had cleared a room and was waiting for the next respawn that I was targeting and trying to attack NPC on the floor below me or in another room. It seems that the cycleTargetOutward command does not take in to account floors or levels but instead just the straight line distant from your TOON to the NPC. This would leave me open to attack if my toon was stuck on a NPC that was protected and un-attackable by a wall or floor. With some testing I found that if I targeted myself fist then TargetOutward that I would pickup the NPC in the room with me.

/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/loot;
/pause 3;
/target self;
/pause 3;
/macro Attackbot;
