I just finished my Bots/Traps and having a lot of fun! I feel so overpowered on this toon at times. I've been taking on spawns up to around 20, +2 to my level with bosses in the mix and completely annihilating them. Well bots do die in that number, but as long as I live...
One thing to mention, though. No matter how great you are, or think you are at least, your bots are constantly looking out for your humility by getting you killed ever so often by pulling another group when not ready. Anyone can tell me how I make a macro to dump reds into my assbot?! |
Glad you're having so much fun!
I use three macros:
DM - Dumps reds into my current pet target:
inspexec_pet_target Enrage$$inspexec_pet_target Focused Rage$$inspexec_pet_target Righteous Rage
IN - Dumps protective insps into my current pet target:
(this is one is great before a pull if you expect your Boss Bot to get thrashed or to get Knocked Back a lot which can delay his AoEs)
inspexec_pet_target Sturdy$$inspexec_pet_target Rugged$$inspexec_pet_target Break_Free$$inspexec_pet_target Luck$$inspexec_pet_target Good Luck
(notice that on this one I'm only giving the Tier 1 Break Frees to the pet, I keep the good stuff for myself)
HL - Throws healing insps into my current pet target:
(great for keeping a stray bot alive or evening out a bot before a pull)
inspexec_pet_target Respite$$inspexec_pet_target Dramatic Improvement
(Once again I'm keeping the very large Inspirations for myself here)
For some reason when I try to just type a one-line macro into CoH/CoV it only saves what's been given BEFORE the first set of $$ in the macro.
For this reason, just type:
/macro DM 1
/macro IN 1
/macro HL 1
..to create the buttons on your bar (make sure you have 3 slots available you can see). After it's made the macro buttons, then just right-click them to edit them, get rid of the 1, and paste in what I typed above.
I know there are versions of the macro command where you can call out a pet by name, but I found that this was more versatile for me because I could make it work on ANY pet I targeted and not just the Boss Bot (he's big and easy to click target anyway). Also, for some reason when I tried the name-specific macro it wouldn't accept the same commands, no idea why. I had to fiddle with it a long while to get this much to work.
Hope that's helpful, you'll have to fiddle with them yourself if you want different results.
Have fun burninating the countryside.

Hey, you're welcome. Can't call it much of a community if we don't help one another.
If you ever want to swing by Infinity I'm on evenings after midnight pacific. Look me up, my handle is @Circus of the Damned
We can go over pull strategies or slotting if you like.
Have a good one.

Well I'm already all slotted up. I went with what you posted and it's been working great. Don't really see a need to change any of it.

Sounds like you're missing some quotation marks.

/Macro DM inspexec_pet_target Enrage$$inspexec_pet_target Focused Rage$$inspexec_pet_target Righteous Rage
If you cut/paste this into your chat line, you'll get a macro that will just feed your pet an Enrage.
/macro DM "inspexec_pet_target Enrage$$inspexec_pet_target Focused Rage$$inspexec_pet_target Righteous Rage"
Cut/paste this into your chat line, and you should get a macro that does what you're intending. At least, I did when I tried it. My experience is far from exhaustive, though.
TEH WERDZ ON SKREEN HURTZ MI BRANE!
Was telling him to paste it into the editing window, which accomplishes the same basic thing. I've found that the quotations for some reason sometimes bug the macro, which is why I told him to do it the way I did it, by editing an existing button.
If it works the other way, wonderful, I just had problems with it before and wanted to make sure he got it right the first try. Maybe it was a problem specific to a past issue that's been fixed, no idea.
Whatever works, the important thing is that he has a working macro.
