Fix Unchain Essence

I'm certain this has already been suggested a thousand times and i'm honestly surprised it wasn't something they did during the beta of 21 since i know they made changes to PBs but considering i just started playing a Warshade recently I thought i'd throw in my two cents.

This power should be set up to auto target a corpse its my understanding that Dark Extraction already functions in this way so changing it doesn't seam unreasonable from an programming standpoint, unless there are factors i'm unaware of.

My main reason for asking this is when you're in the middle of a battle specifically on teams of any real size trying to find a corpse with your mouse icon in the heat of battle is very difficult. having it set up to auto target the nearest corpse would make it easier for rapid fire in the heat of battle.

No argument.

That said, you can set up a bind/macro to do this - my format might be wrong here, but IIRC it's /macro UE customtargetnetxt enemy dead$$powexecname unchain essence (which would put a "UE" button on, which would select the next dead enemy, then fire off unchain essence.)

Someone will correct the syntax if I'm remembering it wrong.

That sounds like a good work around i'm not really well versed in macro's so i had no idea you could do that.

If someone could confirm for this for me i'd appreciate it. i tried posting it in and i get unknown command info.

I have a double bind on my Warshade. One button selects the nearest enemy corpse, the other activates Unchain Essence. But I have no idea what the text I put in was. :/

Yes that should work (or something similar)...but if you do use a macro like that, just be ware that sometimes you may select a dead mob that isn't near the other mobs.

if i had a macro for finding the nearest corpse it'd help. as it is now the only way i can use the power without taking my hands off of the ten key is if i focus on one target and wait for them to drop and while they're still selected use it.

You can right click the macro and select Edit. It will show you the text.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

My top (workaroundy) tip for this is to hit Dark Extraction first (even if it's not recharged) as that will automatically target the nearest corpse and then hit Unchain Essence. Though to be fair I tend to jump into a group, Mire, Gravity Well a minion to death and then hit UE whilst they're still targeted, which removes the need to select one.
