What is your DRK macro setup like?

[rwak12]

I was just curious to know what is the macro setup my fellow DRK's are using?

Of course taking into considering your /sub job, what would u consider the most ''comfortable" or most "effective' setup?

My alt-1-5 are my WS
alt-2 used as Sneak attack if THF
alt-7-9 are DRK spells, drain, aspir, absorb
ctrl-1 is Provoke or Steal
ctrl-2-4 is generally Last resort or Berserk, Souleater.
ctr-0- tp report

Interested in seeing what people consider to be the most used macro and which key they decided to use that was most accessible.

I think the alt-1-4 keys are the most comfortable. Therefore i put my ws there because I don't want a mis-hit during a sc.

I find the ctrl keys the least comfortable but its used for my buffs and so I want it close to my ws keys.

I use my first 3 Alt pages for WS macros. After numerous lag-related fukkups concerning attempts to put Sneak Attack and Trick Attack in the same macro, even using advanced macroing techniques, I've found that the best way is to put them in two separate macros. So my Alt pages look like this:

Alt 1-6: WS
Alt 7: SA
Alt 8: TA
Alt 9: Skillchain call
Alt 0: TP report

I put my most commonly used WS's in Alt 1-3 since they are the easiest to press.

Also, I put Weapon Bash, Stun, and Poison on Ctrl 1, 2, and 3 respectively for quick access.

i have one page of alt macros and one page of ctrl macros.

its more than enough.

no need to go macro crazy

Ctrl 1 emergency voke
ctrl 2 souleater
ctrl 3-6 WS
ctrl 0 ranged pull
ctrl 9 stun
alt 1 weapon bash
alt 2 tp report
alt 3 skillchain update
alt 0 sneak attack
alt 9 trick attack

[Hisdon]

CTRL1-stun
CTRL2-Souleater
CTRL3-Berserk/fuidama
CTRL4-Weapon Bash
ALT1-4=weapon skills

that's all I have so far

[fuz]

CTRL
1 - Aspir
2 - Drain
3 - Magic Burst Magic
4 - Berserk
5 - Souleater
6 - Last Resort
7 - HP/MP/TP Report
8 - <t> I'm looking at
9 - Starting Skillchain announcement
0 - Pulling <t> alert message

ALT
1 - Stun
2 - Bash
3 - Cross/Spin/Vorpal Blade
4 - Guillotine/Spin/Spirits
5 - ((((;°Д°))))
6 - Provoke
7 - Sneak Attack/TP Report X
8 - Sneak Attack/TP Report O
9 - Trick Attack
0 - Sneak Attack

I use ALT/CTRL+M for drain spells. I wish I had some more space for a def up/attack up macro for swaping equips...

*edit* I play keyboard only, if that helps...

[Thorrion]

Lol I think I have too many macros compared to the others...

(I use PS2 controller, so I'm not sure which is Ctrl and Alt, I use L2 and R2 buttons instead =p)

L2: (Macro Set #10)
1: Slice
2: Shadow of Death
3: Nightmare Scythe
4:
5:
6: Provoke
7: Last Resort (Probably should remove since I never use it)
8: Berserk
9: Souleater
0: TP Report

R2: (Macro Set #10)
1: Poison
2: Bio
3:
4:
5: Stun
6: Drain
7: Aspir
8: Bind
9: Sleep
0: Weapon Bash

L2: (Macro Set #9, directly above 10 so only 1 button away)
1: Absorb-AGI
2: Absorb-VIT
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9: Spinning Scythe (Placed away so I don't hit it by accident =p)
0: TP Report

R2: (Macro Set #9)
1: Stone
2: Water
3: Aero
4: Fire
5: Blizzard
6: Thunder
7:
8:
9:
0: Weapon Bash

Currently wondering how I'm going to fit the rest of my WSs into a reachable place...

I also have an exact copy of these macros on sets #5 and #6 but with Greatsword WSs macroed instead.

(Not to mention I have a set of warrior macros on #1 and monk macros on #2.....)

Cltr-1 -> TP%
Cltr-2-0 -> WS
Alt-1 -> Provoke
Alt-2 -> Last Resort
Alt-3 -> Arcane Circle
Alt-4 -> Berserk
Alt-5 -> Weapon Bash
Alt-6 -> Souleater
Alt-7 -> Defener
Alt-8 -> Sneak/Trick Attack
Alt-9 -> NM pulling macro
Alt-0 -> Stun

[kazthegun]

ctrl
nothing | weapon bash | stun | provoke | ready to start skillchain | target <bt> | TP report | /sea all <t> | found it! | pulling

alt
poison | drain | nothing.....

for WS, job abilites, and all magic spells other than stun (just haven't gotten around to deleting poison/drain macros), i just use the appropriate ctrl- menus.

once i hit 60, i will make sneak attack-friendly TP reporting macros, but i think i'll stick to using the menus. they seem a lot more reliable than macros for making sure things go off. for 65/66+, maybe sneak+trick+ws macros for cross and spin.

[rwak12]

Thanks for all the replies, I'm a little surprised how many people don't use the full extent of their macros and still go through the menus.

I try to macro just about anything I might use during the fight because its just so much more convenient and faster.

Then again everyone has their own preferences and style but its very interesting to see.
