Bard Song Twisting Macro's

[Cscott]

Get a G15 Keyboard. You can macro to twist 4 songs, 3, 2. Whatever you like. Works like a charm, its hard to type in chat while its going but it saves some finger stress.

Yah Taamas i'm with you. I quit before they implemented /melody. So I only ever did it manually.

Never thought about using the G15 to do it! I have one myself but forgot about being able to record on the keyboard... duh!

Will the bard song macro /melody (number of the bard song desired) work? If there are no macros that work for twisting bard songs then I really dont want to play one again...

The darkest deepest depths of hell are reserved for /melody and all those who cling to it.

I would have songs all on the keyboard assigned to 1-8 (1-6 originally [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

tap 1, song starts, tap 1, then 2. song starts, tap 2, tap 5.

this while running around behind the mob and tapping ` to attack, then twisting in a mezz song for the add that just appeared, off-tanking the OTHER add that appears five seconds later, right after i refresh song 1, then continue where I left off, etc, etc, etc.

In a casual situation, macros are fine, but when the shit hits the fan, I think I'd prefer the flexibility of doing it manually.

This is my opinion too. I never used /melody. It could actually result in a wipe when manual twisting would save the day.

Bards in EQ make me realize that I am, in fact, getting older. My broken-ass hands can't handle all that much twisting these days.

Still gonna roll one eventually and just suck at it, though. Bards are too much fun.

Right on, man!

I don' t see how twisting is that hard for people. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. 4 and a sword click to success

There are several Memory Key programs you can set to press 1,1 2,2 etc.. with X second delays in order to emulate this-- I know several bards in our guild used it during raids just so they could slack off. Never could get it to work myself, but I remember being super jealous during Rathe raid attempts. I believe as long as you don't go AFK you aren't breaking any rules either.

I just suck at Twisting. And I love playing a Bard but I can't walk and chew gum at the same time. So I get one up to like 30ish and like wow people want me to group lol. Good luck with that. Ain't happening. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

/melody doesn't work as others have said. My advice to cut keystrokes in half (from 11,22,33 to 1,2,3) is to create 8 macros like someone else suggested on page 1 of the thread.

[1]
/stopsong
/cast 1

[2]
/stopsong
/cast 2

[3]
/stopsong
/cast 3

etc.

Never use /pause command because that will prevent you from starting a new song if you get bashed or miss a note.
