Macros - Targeting
: Type in "/target" and the name of the character close enough to target.
: In place of a target's name, typing in "%self," "%target," "%pet," or "%party1-%party8" will conveniently enter your own name, a target's name, a pet, or a party member for you.
: (Ex: /target %party3 : the target is the 3rd member of your party)
Macros - Cooldown Times
: The macro cooldown time is based on the macro with the longest cooldown time out of all the skills activated. 60 seconds is the max cooldown time.
: Use the "%cooltime" or "%c" options to display the cooldown times for your desired skills. Use these cooldown macro options to indicate cooldown times for special skills. Cooldown macro options only recognize the longest cooldown times.
: (Ex: /skill Dark Blast %c : indicates the cooldown time based on Dark Blast).
Macros - Miscellaneous
: You can type as you would in the chat window. However, there is a bit of a delay approximating the average typing speed to prevent spamming.
: You can set your own delay time by entering "/delay" followed by the time in seconds. (Ex: /delay 5)
: Be sure to add a space after typing in "%self," "%target," "%pet," or "%party1-%party8" in chat.
: If a character named ABCD types in "Hello, I'm %selfnice to meet you," it will show up as "Hello, I'm %selfnice to meet you," but if the player types in "Hello, I'm %self nice to meet you," it will display properly as "Hello, I'm ABCD nice to meet you."
