Hamidon Macros to play with
Quote:
Please change that.HowlingTwilightFulcrumShift |
It was a mashing together of Howling Twilight + Oil Slick for group rezzes with Fulcrum Shift + Oil Slick for group buffs.
The fact is that there is no reason to do a pre-emptive Howling Twilight before going into the goo. And certainly no reason to do a group heal with Twilight Grasp before going in.
The Howling Twilight was for group wipes.
So, please don't confuse the newbs with that. So, I recommend....
/macro 6 request "6. Dismiss pets and Damage Auras so as not to destroy the Oil Slick"
/macro 5 request "5. Start long term buffs. Stun/Fear protection."
/macro 4 request "4. Oil Slick for Fulcrum Shift Megapowerup Rah Rah Rah!"
/macro 3 request "3. Regen and other Auras!"
/macro 2 request "2. TANKERS GO!"
/macro 1 REQUEST "1. SCRAPPERS GO!"
/macro 0 REQUEST "ASSAULT GO!"

Remember this: while macros are indeed helpful to raid leaders, it's not the macros that determine whether a raid succeeds or fails - it's up to the team leaders to lead effectively, and everyone else to follow orders and know what's going on.

"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."

Is it sad that reading through these macros gave me a better understanding of what Hami "is like" than anything else I've found yet?
I just can't decide whether I'm mentally playing a defender or a troller as I read...
I'm new-ish. Again.
@Kahzi. Pinnacle, mostly.

As someone who was foundational to that tradition (that's *my* Howling Twilight in question), I give permission to kill it with fire.

Apparently some people out there want to lead a Hamidon Raid, but don't have the macros. I've run a few, and got tired of rewriting all the macros, so I've put them down once, and cut-n-paste them onto whichever toons I want to lead. To make things easier for others, HERE THEY ARE! (BTW, these are from my tanker on Virtue).
These are for EVAC, not evac'less. You can alter them to spike the greens, thats up to your own style. This is just an aid, I do not claim any responsibility for raid-wipes or any chaff that gets blown your way.
/macro Intro1 request "(reads from card subtley passed to him by Neko) Greetings heroes, to the insert-day-of-the-week-here Hamidon Raid! Pay attention, because this is how it works."
/macro Intro2 request "We will be attacking the giant monsters in here to collect [Essence of the Earth], which protect the tankers and scrappers from Hamidon's attacks. Be sure to leave 2 spots open in your Inspirations at all times."
/macro Intro3 request "When we start the actual raid on Hamidon, the Tankers will go in to distract Hamidon and his Mito's (not a rock band, yet) so that the scrappers can attack the yellow mitos."
/macro Intro4 request "The Assault teams will then attack the blues, to distract the greens from healing the yellows. Then we'll all attack the greens, which won't take damage until they are held, so spam those holds and keep the controllers on SB."
/macro Intro5 request "When greens are down attack the blues with ranged attacks, then we'll hit Hamidon. He respawns his mitos after 1/4 damage, 1/2 damage, and 3/4 damage so we retreat and start over 3 times."
/macro Intro6 request "If you have any questions, ask your team leader. If he/she doesn't have the answers, they can send me a tell. Keep your head, follow instructions and with a little luck we'll do fine. And in advance, thanks for coming."
/macro report request "Team leaders report when your team is ready for action."
/macro ready request "All teams have reported as Status-Ready, so countdown is about to start. Get in close, turn off any damage auras and dismiss any pets who might destroy an oil slick."
/macro 5 request "5. Start long term buffs. Stun/Fear protection."
/macro 4 request "4. Oil Slick for HowlingTwilightFulcrumShift Megapowerup Rah Rah Rah!"
/macro 3 request "3. Regen and other Auras!"
/macro 2 request "2. TANKERS GO!"
/macro 1 REQUEST "1. SCRAPPERS GO!"
/macro 0 REQUEST "ASSAULT GO!"
/macro Greens request "Yellows are down, form up on me. Spam the holds and SB the 'trollers, people!"
/macro Blues request "Greens are down, pound on the blues! Ranged attacks only if you want your endurance intact!"
/macro Hami request "Hami-time!"
/macro TPers request "TPers get safe now!"
/macro GTFO request "GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE! BLOOMIN' ONIONS!!! BLOOMIN' ONIONS!!!"
/macro H1 request "Hami Time!. Target is 3/4ths hit points, or 35340 hp's"
/macro H2 request "Hami Time! Target is 1/2 hit points, or 23560 HPs"
/macro H3 request "Target is 1/4th hit points, or 11780 hp's!"
/macro Last request "Target is 0, thats ZERO hit points. Make sure you damage Hamidon at least a little so you get your reward!"
/macro end request "Thank you all for attending the enter-day-of-the-week Hamidon Raid, especially you team leaders."
