Role-based macros for Rift
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 8:41 pm
For the BIG UPDATE, see: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4493#p4493
I am far from an expert boxer, and this is my first serious boxing effort.
I want to play a 5-man, heterogeneous team in Rift. I'm thinking: warrior (reaver/paladin/riftblade), rogue (ranger/sab/sin), rogue (bard/ranger/marksmen), cleric (sent/inq/justicar), mage(storm/lock/necro) -- or maybe just 3 rogues, cc, and a tank. At any rate, I want to be able to cause the right roles to do the right thing at the right time.
In addition to setting up the FTL-like macros (thanks Lax!), I've done the following:
Macro Name: MarkAll
Macro Name: ClearMarks
(all of the below is deprecated -- but you may find it useful -- please see the BIG UPDATE: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4493#p4493 for updated heal, cc, role, and team action bars)
Macro Name: HealMarkx (where x | char[x])
MacroName: HealSelf
MacroName: OMGHEAL!!
MacroName: CCIt
and then set up keymaps:
HealCascade
--one step for each character
--each step calls a HealMarkx macro
Yes, this means I have to spam a button to heal through the team, and I will overheal those that don't need heals, but that works to my benefit in rifts anyway hehe
HealSelf
--just calls the HealSelf macro
HealX
--calls HealMarkX (thinking I only need this for the tank role char,rather than one for each)
CCIt
--turns on a cursor stream for the ccer
--mouseover/target
--another button press to cast the CCit macro above
--turns off the cursor stream
--calls the FTL Assist Me keymap (a la Lax's guide)
Comments? Help for the n00b?
TIA
