Bard Macros?

[VincentVolaju]

Wondering which macros some of you bards are using? I know the /melody doesn't work in classic but, is there anything else that you have that makes being a Bard easier?

I make a /stopsong, /cast # for all my spells. Then put them in my hotbar, then mapped my hotbar to be 1-4 cast songs 8-5 and then alt +1-4 hits hotkeys 5-8 and casts songs 1-4. So that to cast songs 1-4 I hit alt+1-4 and to sing 8-5 (in that order starting at 8) I hit 1-4. This way I can have my main melody sunt by hitting 1-4 and cast my other 4 songs by adding in alt. I also don't have to double tap as I have /stopsong built in, and to stop singing all together default is shift S and works fine.

I make use of my numpad a lot; I find it extremely useful.

0: /stopsong
1-8: /stopsong /cast #
9: inventory clicky item (or some other useful macro)
+: First person camera
-: User defined camera
.: Toggle between last two targets
/ and *: Other macros of choice, I typically put /pet commands here


With my right hand on the numpad, it's only a short movement to grab the mouse for an instrument switch and it leaves my left hand free for WASD, assist hotkeys, etc... sometimes even *gasp* typing while twisting.
