Monk Combat Routine

Phibes · Post by **Phibes** » Thu May 05, 2005 12:53 pm

This is the code I use for my Monk when in groups. I don't use it in Raids as positioning can be critical. The earlier version of this code checked how close you needed to be to hit the mob but there were bugs in it. For Raid purposes just comment out the movement section.

Every time I change targets this macro list some information on the target. Some of this info is redundant. Feel free to clean up or add to.

Code: Select all

If I remember correctly, Cr4zyb4rd added a "/stick pin" arg to moveutils that keeps you facing perpendicular to the mob instead of looking directly at it, so that you will only push the mob into a wall and not back and forth along it. Just some food for thought on the raiding thing.

It would require MQ2MoveUtils and therefore VIP access, but what a small price to pay for perfection :)

I'm new at this A_Druid_00, I'd love VIP but not at all sure about how to get there yet. I'll find out. I'd prefer to dig about the forums then to ask questions. Here's why.

After playing a Monk for over a year the only socials I had were to announce incomming, and for that reason had never used /doability. When I got MQ2 I was totaly confused about why my macro didn't work. I honestly thought /doability was a MQ2 thing and not an EQ thing. So no ability buttons had been set up. I'm so glad I didn't ask. I'm only posting this to spare other people potential embarassment. Hence my moto and Sig!

No prob, your code is fine for what you made it for. I just thought I'd point out ways to improve on it. You've definately started off on the right foot putting out something useful instead of just leeching and asking everyone to make you AFK macros.

Very good commenting job too, that was never one of my strong points. I was always of the opinion if someone couldn't read through my code and see what was going on in the subs without help, fuck em.
