Macroing mistake not to make for new players

Post by grepler »

Im macroing a toon for Pvp and have run into a situation that hopefully I can save other new players from. I started out by gming magery and resist/med. This is going great but I noticed I was failing heals too often so I switched to poisoning myself to gain heals. Well it seems I did things kinda backwards, I should have done healing first as Im now resisting a lot of the poison spells Im casting on myself.

Yeah, I tried that and it attacked me. What I ended up doing was having another toon cast poison on itself and Im healing it. Wasnt hard to figure out how to fix the problem but not all new players have access to more toons.

just make the new char with 50 mage/meditation and make it poison itself

you can make a macro easily

useskill meditation
wait 1s
if (hp>20)
if (poisoned)
else //i don't think there's an if(not poisoned) option
cast spell poison
wait 1s
target self
wait 1s
endif
endif

it will just cast poison on itself every time it's not poisoned and above 20hp, otherwise it will just meditate
