Problem in macros lies in the fact that they skip often. It isn't unusal for me to leave a fight with upwards of TEN instances of the same COB macro running.

Really I don't trust micro's, your in combat man....pay attention.

just got an idea. I use power boost alot so have a macro /powerboost /pause (can't rememer) /tell (your name) your powerboost has run out.

Just create a macro to send yourself a /tell every 30-35 secs to remind you that CoB is about to end. Then manually raise finger to keyboard and press the key assigned to CoB.

Of course, we wouldn't need that if SOE put a visible time on-screen. (I know the icon is meant to flash when it's about to fade, but my icon is always flashes)

My CoB macro:

/CenterofBeing;

/pause 40;

/alarmAddIn 0 .1 ***Center of Being Ending***;

fingerpress CoB macro key

I use this for several reasons. 1) Manually pressing a reminder macro avoids the CoB macro loop "skip", 2) If you use anything other than unarmed in a battle it allows you to unequip the weapon before you press, 3) Sometimes I don't want to have another macro running and let it wear out. If you want to have a continuous looping version, which *always* gets its timing screwed up if CoB accidentally skips just add in after the alarm above:

/pause 2;

/ua action clearCombatQueue;

/pause 0.5;

/macro [insert macro name here];

That's a GREAT macro! PLUS you taught me a new command - Never did the /alarmAddIn 0 .1 thing - I'm assuming that displayes a msg on the center on the screen like xp gains, trade requests, etc...?
