Macro Sharing?

[eqwerty]

Anyone willing to share a few of their already built macros with me? I've pulled a few from mqemulator.net already, and edited. Plus learning to build some on my own, but not sure it's worth recreating the wheel, if someone has something they are willing to share via PM or email. More than willing to offer some sort of assistance in game in return. What I'm looking for...

Shaman heal/buff macro
Shaman/ench debuff macro
Druid heal/debuff macro
Cast/distribute pet weapons
Mez macro for bard/enchanter (scan for certain targets, and cast)
Necro cast macro

Going to chime in as well on your thread if that is ok.

Same question/request for Rogue and Zerker.

At work, can't share macros for now, but as far as buffing goes, I found MQ2NetBots to be extremely helpful.. Check out this post --> viewtopic.php?f=204&t=11508

The 6th post down by Alulien gives a detailed example in how to script your buffers to check for character buffs, like who is missing what.. With just that post alone, I went from alt-tabbing through buff classes and self casting what i needed, to staying fully buffed 100% of the time just by adding the buff sequences outlined in the above post to my macros. And there's plenty more posts throughout this forum alone giving examples of how to achieve other functionality for macros addressing several of your requests.

Personally, I started by downloading macros from other sites and trying them out, but more often than not, i found they didn't work or provide the functionality I wanted, and I quickly became frustrated in trying to find what I wanted. So I decided to make my own. The process of learning how to write my own macros to bring each of my toons to life has been almost as fun as actually playing the game. It's the "game within a game" for me. It's not about reinventing the wheel, It's about making a homemade, hand carved wheel which brings a sense of accomplishment and pride as you continue to learn, and add functionality, flexibility, and simplicity to macros.

I started as a solo, non boxing (never boxed anything before) monk who initially swore off multiboxing as too complicated.. But I gotta say, the first time I saw Nodyin swarm through the forest with 24 toons in tow, and take out HoH trash in 0.003 seconds, I started seeing things differently

I've gotten to the point where I run 18 toons, and I really only have 6 "goto" buttons I use frequently: melee attack, nukers attack, debuff target, Burst DPS, All Follow, and All Stay Put, all augmented by more obscure macros like when fighting Redfang or Lord Draekon. All of this wrought from months of research, guess and check, trial and error, testing and development, fun and frustration.

Far be it from me to discourage taking someone else's macro to play with (like I said, it's how I started out too), but I do stand as a proponent of trying to make your own Only because of how fun and engaging it has been, and can be for you too. Either way, if you catch me in game at some point, feel free to send me a tell and I can help you more if you need. I'm not an expert like some of these software wizards on THF, but I'll always do what I can

Would you happen to have an updated link? The one mentioned above no longer works. Thanks!

Try that one.

Ive seen a few of these request pop up lately and I just wanna throw out a quick response. The reason I personally, and I would assume others, aren't quick to share their built macros is the scenario always goes like this. I send the person my macro and any needed support files. They reply "it doesn't work" We then spend the next 1-4 weeks configuring their setup to something similar to the setup the macro was wrote on so it will work correctly for them.

Most folks, including myself, are more than happy to share examples or sytanx to handle specific requests, but to share a full macro is opening up a box of kittens.
