Macro Codes

[Dural_Levant]

So back in the day, I made a button to report my mana percentage to my group. Went something like this I think:

/g Mana at <mpp>

The output was: "Mana at 56%"

But now as I am writing this, I think this might have been an old Final Fantasy 11 macro...

Is a macro like this possible on green?

Not possible without cheating.

Also casters (healers especially) often shouldn't be telling their exact mana. Instead, you kind of have to tailor how accurate you are in your mana reporting to how competent your group is. With less competent groups you should report lower-than-actual numbers, to give you the necessary "buffer" to handle problems that come up.

Loramin don't take this the wrong way but did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?

The better question, I think, is did you?

Fair rebuttal, as a kid no, as an adult yes.

Most people don't know this, but lead-based paint is an excellent solvent for marijuana edibles. You gotta be creative in these apocalyptic times.

Fastboy gets me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I have consumed vast quantities of marijuana, but in fact zero paint chips.

Regardless of any of that though, I don't get the hostility: have you never healed a group on P99 (or in classic) before or something? If you did (and certainly if you did several times) the odds are heavily in favor of one of those groups needing a little ... "finessing" of mana reports.

What ive learned as a jumblasting cleric is that it doesn't matter what number you report as long as its a number or OOM. If your out of mana, they probably wont pull. If you say any number from 1-100, they pull.

I have to have a lot of jum in the tank then just say 50 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for clearing that up, fastboy21.

And that's some solid advise, Loramin, I will take to heart.

Well it can be done but not that accurate more like make macro for like 20%, then another for 40%, 60% etc.. I actually do this on my cleric. And now my Wizzy. Its not perfect but what else am i going to use 2-6 keybinds for. (Alt + #) = spell I wish to use. On Cleric CH chain takes up 1 macro.. Wizzy 1 takes up Asisst.
