Mandatory Macros
I am posting for the benefit of players new to macros to learn what I find to be the three most useful macros for the game. I will assume that the bank 10, slot 1-3 on bar 3 are free. All these macros create shortcuts on the mousepointer that you can put on your qbars.
Dummy Macro
This one creates a useless shortcut that you can use to switch other shortcuts around. I bind it to SHIFT-D. The shortcut will actually say which direction you are facing.
Create Assist Macro Macro
This macro will create a shortcut that executes an /assist with the name of your target at creation. You can make multiple such macros but the buttons will all carry the same title (Ass in my case). I bind this to SHIFT-A.
Create Target Macro Macro
This macro will create a shortcut that executes a /target with the name of your target at creation. Very similar to the above macro. I bind this to the SHIFT-T key.
There you have it. A very quick way to make macros for MA and Stickies. If you also have qbinds for slots where you normally make these macros, just hit SHIFT-A/SHIFT-T and place your new macros in their stead, your qbinds will still work. Personally I have bound HOME and END to the slots 1 5 2 and 1 6 2 and I often place Ass and or Targ on these two slots.
In addition to these three I usually have a /disembark and a /setcamera macro on my characters. Hope this post will be of some use. Perhaps other players have some nifty macros they want to share?
