Thread: !!!Fellow Pistoleer's!!!
Fellow Pistoleer's just want to take a moment of you time. Been playing the role of a Pistoleer for about a month now, just wanted to see what Pistoleer Macro's you guys used. Please all info would be niceI'm mostly a PVE guy myself, just wanted to know most useful macros. Let's post all are macros here for fellow newb pistoleer's like myself. All your help is appreciated.

At the moment I use
Healthshot2/Healthshot1/Suppress/Bodyshot2/Suppress/Bodyshot2/Suppress...
Thats for melee.
Vs ranged attackers its the same but without the suppress....just health and bodyshot.
I would NEVER use combat macros. Combat is too unpredictable to program my actions even 2 steps into the future. In fact, I seldom even put more than a few shots into the que. I spelled that wrong. But eh.. I may be overly nervous.. my equipment sucks, after all.
biwan:ahem... pistol whip, fanshot, fanshot, fanshot, pistol whip, fanshot, fanshot, fanshot, fanshot..... Those are the only 2 descent Pistoleer skills as it is right now.

Same, healthshots, and fanshot, sometimes bodyshot2 If I just want to finally kill something.
We do need to whine, the dev said it himself, waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Heh, I'm a macro junkie. I use macros even when it's far more effective to do otherwise.
Once I pick a particular mob to grind, after a few, I get a sense of all the possible scenarios and adjust the macro accordingly. For example, my now defunct Lok Nym macro looked like the following. Note that I'm on autofollow, wielding a scout and within melee range before I trigger this macro.
/say Target: %TT (This is to tell my group what I'm currently attacking)
/say kill (This is for my cowardly gurreck)
/pistolmeleedefense1;/pistolmeleedefense1;
/suppressionfire1;/suppressionfire1; (in case the first whips don't stick and it runs away)
/pistolmeleedefense1;/pistolmeleedefense1;
/ui actiontoolbarSlot15; (switch to DX2 for small variance in bleed damage)
/healthshot2;/healthshot1;
/ui actiontoolbarSlot16; (switch back to scout blaster for cheaper HAM costs)
/pistolmeleedefense1;pistolmeleedefense1;/pistolmeleedefense1;
/ui actiontoolbarSlot15; (switch back to DX2 for good acid armor piercing damage)
/bodyshot2;/bodyshot2...etc...etc...
I have a much simplier one for baz nitches, which I believe is still the best experience/effort/time. Of course, I have a macro that queues up ten bodyshot2's or fanshots or disarmingshot2's. A macro that alternates suppressionfire1 with bodyshot2 (or fan or whatever) is useful.
