Aliases or Macros?

Delport, when you were the only defender and I was the only raider.

Wasn't meant as a personal attack, just saying the curing needs improvement smile.gif.
Soll2005-03-28 11:57:12
Yeah, I'm not taking it as a personal attack. I know my curing's anything but perfect, but it's getting better. Just to add, though, I've been low on supplies for ages. I didn't have health, antidote, melancholic, quicksilver, or allheale during that raid. Only reason I went is because I was the only one willing. *grumble* Had to try and stop you raiding Delport, and Nayl raiding Southgard. It sucked.
Nayl2005-03-28 13:27:40
Woot, I got mentioned as Raiding
Finally.
Usually it's raid, get 20 dwarves
someone else takes one
cf to them

But yea, Just noticed my lappy has the six-pack, so I might need to set that up a little, Thorgy, any suggestions?

And now I have 1-5 set as good old parrying/stancing aliases! "This should be fun," I said. "Now I can beat some knights maybe!" I said.

Then, after dying to Gwylifar, I realised I didn't have a shield. (I mean, I forgot I had the aliases and kinda didn't stance gut when he started impaling me, but I prefer to use the other excuse. whistling.gif)

ps - point staff @tar
hls - aquacast hailstorm
punc - dreamweave puncture @tar
ml - dreamcast memoryloss @tar
amn - dreamcast amnesia @tar
etc. for the mote afflictions. Then I've got things like
deep - dreamweave deepsleep @tar
mare - dreamweave nightmare @tar
dbd - sleep;dreamweave leavebody

For my demesne, I have things like
ice - aquacast icefloe
jel - aquacast jellies
And I have a second alias like "iced" for casting it in the demesne.

The only macro I use is F1 which is my macro to fire off a random rune illusion (it's much easier to pound F1 repeatedly for that than to type out an alias)
Shamarah2005-03-30 02:56:47
Don't feel bad about forgetting aliases, Shiri - when I first got dreamweaving I kept forgetting what the motes were smile.gif
Shiri2005-03-30 03:06:55
It wasn't that I forgot the aliases (heck, it was 1-5, even I'm not THAT stupid), it was that I forgot I had anything altogether. As in I forgot I had shieldparry. Gwylifar moonbeamed in, I did "5" to parry head and stance chest or something, I forget, and he chopped at my head a couple times, realised he was hitting stance, changed to gut slashes and I was all "Darn, he's hitting my gut. ...whoops, better clot there, stupid rend." *cough* Will be fixed next time. Specially now I got one of Malicia's shiny new Celestian-looking shields. (What the heck cartel're you in anyway Mali?)

17726 Silverblade a winged celestial shield of herald

mean that one....its a new one, I thought it was kind of odd for the forestal cartel to make it *shrug*.
Alger2005-03-30 06:49:19
im actually on all aliases right now except for envenoming which are my fkeys because thats how i used to do it in achaea.

my macro set was f1-f11 venom combos f12 was toggle macro set which switches what f1-f11 does.
Sylphas2005-03-30 07:01:05
Just switched my numpad over to purely daisy chaining directions to my command line. Makes it a ton easier to point my cudgel and sling runes.

I keep forgetting I have macros for attacking aliases too, but I keep forgetting and use the alias anyway. doh.gif

That's the one. Thankfully I'm one of those (mostly) Celest loving Seren so it's okay. tongue.gif

She made it entirely as a one-off present for me, that's why it's so Celestian.

Actually since my hand hovers over the numpad constantly and I spent years paying off a student loan working in an accounting department entering waybills all night long, so I am fast on the numpad, all my combat and movement is on my numpad. My / key swaps me between movement mode and combat mode, and the keys change accordingly, they also change to whether I am in dreambody or physical body.

My F-keys are all mote selectors, some lesser attacks, shielding, things like that.

I use macros a lot. Lessee..

Heh, that's funny, you use an alias called SAP for your amissio ability. I have quite a few carry overs like that, that were just standards I used when I was in other realms.
Shiri2005-03-31 14:10:50
Yeah, I have "pen" (pentagram) for circle, and a couple others.

Yeah biggrin.gif. I use stuff like "ts" (touch shield) for invoke circle / evoke pentagram, or d even though it's sprint and not dash here. Guess we are the sort who doesn't like change too much.
Unknown2005-04-01 01:33:06
I have a macro for invoke circle, and it is the same one I used for touch shield in all the other realms, heh.
