Charm break

Post by rootmoth » Tue May 18, 2004 2:39 pm

I'm planning on writing a macro that will detect charm breaks and trigger some recovery plan.

Does anyone already have one? I figure it will do something like this.

- event for "charm wore off"

- announce the break to group
- /dismount
- duck out of any current spell
- retarget former pet
- check range and either recharm, or stun/mez then recharm.

optional stuff
- debuff before charm
- rebuff pet after charm

I spent several hours in vxed last night, and it would have been helpful to have something like this going on.

I don't think anything like this has been posted. Frankly, I wouldn't trust my life to a macro in any zone higher than Crushbone when it came to charming. But then, that's me. Nice idea overall, not too hard to implement.

Wow, good one.

I have no intention of trusting my life to a macro. I expect to be actively attempting to keep myself alive, but MQ has faster reflexes than I do.
