| Re: Question about spell macros...(Attn StarvingArtist) One thing I just learned about <stpc> that may be useful for you...
It's intuitive to think that any equipment swaps you do should go before the actual spell command. I macro in all my Haste and Fast Cast gear for spells like Raise, Regen, Haste, etc. but as I got higher in level, it became a race to scroll to my target before my character blinked out and forced me to start over.
For such spells where you choose a <st>, place the spell command first. Your equipment will be swapped in during the narrow window after you have chosen your subtarget and before the spell begins casting. You'll gain the benefits of the equipment, but your character won't blink until you've safely scrolled to the spell's intended target.
So, my Haste macro (in a dream world) would look like this...
>>> /ma Haste <stpc>
>>> /equip main "Capricorn Staff"
>>> /equip head "Walahra Turban"
>>> /equip body "Nashira Manteel"
>>> /equip legs "Blessed Trousers"
>>> /equip feet "Rostrum Pumps"
Before I realized this, the "/ma Haste <stpc>" line was at the bottom, thereby screwing everything up. |
