Tri-form binds and macros?

I read somewhere there is a bind or macro group you can set up to allow you to:

1. Teleport into the middle of the enemy
2. Revert to human
3. Activate sunless mire

Followed by a second macro that pops you to dwarf form and drops ITS mire as well.

I'm hopeless with macros, could someone dredge these up and repost them, along with any OTHER macros or binds you think are worthwhile?

I don't know of a single macro that can do all three at once, but you can squeeze it into two:

/macro TP "powexecname Black Dwarf Step"
/macro Mire "powexectoggleoff Black Dwarf$$powexecname Sunless Mire"

First one is just a standard power bind for the teleport, second one drops out of Dwarf and activates the mire.

Reactivating Dwarf and firing off Dwarf Mire will also have to be two different macros as well, since you can only activate a single power in a bind. Although, now that I think about it, this might work:

/macro Dwarf "powexectoggleon Black Dwarf$$powexecauto Black Dwarf Mire"

That kicks Dwarf back on and sets the Dwarf Mire to auto, which should then fire as soon as the form change is complete. Course its then stuck on auto and you'll have to ctrl and left click on the power icon to take it off auto.

I use a bind layout that utilizes all of my NUMPAD keys including the ones around the number keys themselves. Some of it (for my TriFormShade™) may be seen below:<ul type="square">NUMPAD1 "powexec_toggle_on Dark Nova$$camdist 18$$goto_tray 9"

NUMPAD2 "powexec_toggle_on Black Dwarf$$bindloadfilesilent wsDwarfTP.txt$$camdist 26$$goto_tray 8"

NUMPAD3 "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$powexec_toggle_on Sprint$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16"

NUMPAD4 "+down$$powexec_toggle_on Gravity Shield$$powexec_toggle_on Shadow Cloak"

SUBTRACT "unselect$$target_custom_near enemy defeated"

ADD "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16$$powexec_name Eclipse"

NUMPAD5 "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16$$powexec_name Stygian Circle"

NUMPAD6 "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16$$powexec_name Sunless Mire"

NUMPAD7 "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16$$powexec_name Unchain Essence"

NUMPAD8 "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16$$powexec_name Gravity Well"

NUMPAD9 "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$bindloadfilesilent wsHumanTP.txt$$camdist 16$$powexec_name Gravitic Emanation"
[/list]
The wsDwarfTP.txt and wsHumanTP.txt files contain respectively:<ul type="square">/bind SHIFT+LBUTTON "powexec_name Shadow Step"

/bind SHIFT+LBUTTON "powexec_name Black Dwarf Step"
[/list]
These files allow me to use the Shift and Left Mouse Button for teleporting myself no matter what form I'm in as long as it's not Dark Nova.

This layout makes driving my TriFormShade™ very easy for me and allows me to execute powers and switch forms on the fly by tapping keys while targeting and camera control can be simultaneously done with the mouse.

A double-Mire for example is performed by going into Dwarf (NUMPAD2), executing the Black Dwarf Mire power (on my trays it's keyed to the '6' key) and then pressing NUMPAD6 to drop to Human form and execute Sunless Mire.

EDIT :: I've found messing with auto-power activation to be less than a good idea for my Kheldians, YMMV, of course.


I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Be advised that the double-Mire stunt while still possible, isn't as effective as it used to be to enhance Dark Nova's blasts. These days, what I normally do, is teleport into a spawn in Black Dwarf, execute Black Dwarf Mire, then hit the keybind that drops me to Human-form and executes Eclipse, and then hit the keybind for Sunless Mire, followed by a shift to either Black Dwarf or Dark Nova as I see fit.

Using Black Dwarf Mire to boost the accuracy of Eclipse and Sunless Mire allows me to slot both Eclipse and Sunless Mire with less emphasis on Accuracy and more on other things.
