I think you've listed all of the things you can do to help action regen. My suggestion would be to make ranged attack your default. By doing this your character will automatically shoot ranged shot as long as you don't fire a special. This attack takes very little action and with the food you'll see your action regening fairly quickly. Rinse, lather, repeat. To make ranged shot (or improved ranged shot, can't remember) your default attack you need to open ctrl+a and pull the ability to your task bar. Once on the task bar hold ctrl and left click on ranged attack. After doing this you should see a little check mark in the lower left corner. Your now set!

i actually can't use default attacks. i always end up shooting wheni don't want to. i do have the ranged attack on my toolbar though, and i certainly do use it when my action gets low.

a low SAC gun ( which you have ) is key. try using Accargam and booster blue instead of noodles. shorter duration but better results. Just food up on your way in, so to speak.

I'd suggest booster blue and blob candy for quicker regen. This with a 65ish sac pistol and a sac pup and you should nearly never run out of action, especially because your speed will be relatively low due to points tied up in CH.

Since you are discussing hte spamming macros, Do you know of an easier way to stop the macro from running than /dump?

I've tried a few different things and so far the best that works for me is to type /dump in my textbar and when I start to get low hit enter. I was using a long but non-repeating macro to spam shots but I always forget to restart it. After someone yells at me for not helping I realise I'm not shooting. (EDITED: No I'm not "AFK" fighting, I'm usually just preoccupied with SL stuff)

A second question/problem I have is that my macro seems to get buggered up sometimes. I assume it is something to do with cooldown/warmup and the fact that my macros timing is cycling off a bit. Many times it ends up in me running around not being able to do anything even afterI /dump the macro. (EDITED: Could also be partially due to the fact that im screwing around with SL stuff druing the battle)

As far as the OP. Once I got my hands on a low sac gun, added a pup and eat some blobcandy and caffine, I don't seem to have any problems with maintaing my action indeffinetly. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I'm not shooting fast enough. I shoot as fast as my finger can pull the trigger. Maybe we should have BS release a workout video for index fingers.

I use modal chat, there is a guide on how to set it up in my sig.

I have a macro that does /dump and I bound it to a key.

I have one key for my quickdraw/bodyshot macro, one key for /dump and one key for ranged shot spamming.

I too get the messed up cooldown timers bug, hitting specials a few times clears it but it is really annoying.

I use a quickdraw and body shot spamming macro when I have some action, when it eventually runs out I switch to a range shot spamming macro and let it regen.

Once it is back up again I switch to the quickdraw/bodyshot one again and repeat as necessary.

ya, I have a /dump macro that I keep hotkeyed, I've also named the macro " D" so even if I'm on a toolpane where I don't have the dump macro hotkeyed it's as simple as "/m d"

Just make a macro that is /quick;/pause 1;/bodyS; and hotkey body.

Moves work in twos, so what you want is /quick; bodyS; pause 3

What I wish for is a way to dump individual macros w/o dumping them all. /dumpNAME for instance.

Oh yes, if that was possible.... I would be so happy.
