bind or macro for....

I just created a MM and its my first.

I’m still trying to figure out all these /binds and /macros.

My MM is a Robot/Dark

One thing I’ve noticed is when teaming I’ll use a power like Darkest Night to affect a foe and his surrounding foes but a team member will kill the effected foe and I’ll have to wait for the powers to recharge before I can use them on another foe.

I’ve tried writing the syntax for it but it doesn’t work for me so I guess I’m doing it wrong. Can any one help?

I want it to do something like:

On clicking Darkest Night my MM will say “Don’t attack foe X as he is the anchor for Darkest night.! Kill surrounding foes first.” I want to say this in the team chat channel.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

/macro DN "Say Please Don't attack $target, he's the anchor for darkest night, and attacking him will highly increase your risk of dying$$Powexec_name Darkest Night"

That will create a macro button labeled DN which will apply the power and say the text. If you want a bind instead, replace "/macro DN" with "/bind <key>"

Given that he wanted it to appear in team chat, then it should really be:

/macro DN "team Please Don't attack $target, he's the anchor for darkest night, and attacking him will highly increase your risk of dying$$Powexec_name Darkest Night"

neh?

But other than that, it'll work fine.

Otherwise, you risk telling everyone on coalition/your currently active global channel that you're about to debuff that Chief Mentalist over there, and that just leads to sarcasm over whatever channel you just mistakenly spammed...

actually the one MaX said is better imho since it says it in the active channel, and since when teaming you usually have team-chat active anyways it doesnt matter

Personally I'd say it in local, since only people nearby need to know, really.
