Area2 has a stun and a dizzy. Would do the work of stun2 and spin2 in your macro there. :-P

That is my thought. Now what if something goes wrong and you have to change your style of fighting to survive. now you have to dump that macro and try to fight with out a macro and since you use macro would you know what to do in a messed up situation.

If you'll notice he's not master, and area2 is one of the last boxes you'll get (2nd to last for me, my last was defense 4). I'm not too big a fan of macros in most cases, but this is interesting.
I have the sudden urge to go out and use polearmhit2...or action hit 1...or stun 2...haven't used them in SO long. I really should just make another toolbar with nothing but pike moves on it that I can use for fun or showing off our cool style!

I just created a macro that, once i sit down at my computer, launch SWG -- log in -- get buffed -- go out and kill stuff -- loot -- and then log off. 
Just kidding -- I use macro's too, but i just have some set up for attacking the action pool for instance, so i will just sweep once and then spam action hit to target the pool. OR I wil spam poleArea2 to just dizzy and hit everyone around me. That just saves me from pressing the button over and over. The only problem i run into is if you make the macros too long, it can get you into trouble it seems.
I like the dismout auto target though it seems neat -- havent used that one.

Thought I'd share a macro of mine. It's actually a macro layered on top of other macros.
There's 3 macro's total.
- I began with my attack macro. It's got all of my Pike battle movements.
PikeAttack
/polearmactionhit1; (induces bleeding)
/polearmactionhit1;
/intimidate1; (induces intimidation)
/polearmactionhit1;
/polearmactionhit1;
/polearmstun2; (induces stun)
/polearmstun2;
/intimidate;
/polearmSpinAttack2; (induces dizziness)
/polearmSpinAttack2;
/polearmSpinAttack2;
/polearmSpinAttack2;
/intimidate;
/follow; (This actually is the first command that takes place. Runs at target, and continues if target flees.)
/polearmHit2;
/polearmHit2;
/polearmHit2;
/polearmActionHit2
- Next I layered a macro that allows me to switch targets quickly with the least amount of clicking. The macro points back to the original attack macro to begin my Pike movements.
EngageNewTarget
/ui action clearCombatQue;
/mac PikeAttack
- Lastly, I created a dismount sequence. This allows me, at the touch of a button, to dismount, target, and engage enemy. I've layered this one onto my targeting macro.
DismountSequence
/dismount;
/ui action targetSelf;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/mac PikeAttack
What's really draws me toward layering these macros is that they are seperated, so that if I need to change say an attacking move, it doesn't need to be changed in the targeting or dismount sequence...it will all be updated at once.
Happy Macroing,

As far as macroing and attacking, I just don't feel like hitting all my F key's consistantly to keep my fighting up.
I like to work smarter, not harder.
good marco BenGanza. I agree that hitting the F keys consistantly is a pain, but I like to have more dynamic control of my combat. I like to marco like 3-5 commands at a time and no loops (except my COB marco
) for things like the dismount and target, or a dizzy-kd marco. But that is my play-style. Again, good marco
