healing hotkeysFollow

i`ve seen the odd person with a hotkey that gives a message for their HO trigger... i was curious as to how to make a hotkey that would do that or would do a message + cast a heal. thanks

I thought we couldn't put abilities into the macro?? Have you confirmed this works? I am going to test it tonight, but everything I read on macros said we couldn't trigger abilities from the macro.

With the 3 lines I really only use 2 but it works like this.

/useability healing ritual

/g Healing %t

Just gotta make sure you spell the ability correctly.

My advice is to never add any battle spam. If you want, you can move your main battle chat window right underneath the group window but I find it easier to just look at the window and to have a separate window for spells going off or on.

This isn't FFXI with a SINGLE fixed window with a max of 8 lines but the less spam the better. I use macros for things like 'Priest is casting Group Ward and then running away. You'd better run to!' or 'Wizard EVAC in 5..... 4...... 3.... GET HERE NOW!'

Or my fav :) "Mezzing %t, spank it and you tank it!"

Things like 'useability Minor Arch Healing' followed by '/g By the hair of Tunare's pet gnoll! I heal you, %t. Praise Tunare!' is funny the first few times but it gets ANNOYING... FAST.
