Question - MGB Buttons

[RYN227]

I'm getting into raiding on Lazarus and my guild makes use of MGBs for heals and HoTs at certain moments. I've primarily played the group game up til now and it occurred to me that although I think I know the best way to make MGB buttons, I've never actually done it.

In E3, this is real easy as the syntax allows for an action to be taken before you cast the spell you intend, in this case the action is MGB. In E3, it looks like this:

[CODE title="E3 Example for Shaman"]/nowcast ShamanName "Ancestral Aid/BeforeSpell|Mass Group Buff"[/CODE]

I'd imagine that in a more general sense, if I were using Mercs or KA I'd want to do something like this:

[CODE title="Theoretical Mercs & KA Button"]/dgt ShamanName /alt activate MGB
/timed 10 /dgt ShamanName /cast Ancestral Aid[/CODE]

Yeah? Can you guys give me some of your MGB buttons as examples?

Pedantic AF, probably:
Just want to chime in and say there multiple ways to do this using RGMercs unpaused by customizing a config. If you only want that ability used on demand, then you'll need to do so anyway (or disable burns on your shaman).

That being said, yes, pausing is simple. Doesn't make it a "mercs ... button", though.

Okay, let me rephrase...

I am looking for examples of buttons this community has created to fire MGBs on demand. I am looking to see how doing this coexists with RG automations like Mercs, KA, etc.

If one can't just mash a button and have a shaman MGB Ancestral Aid on demand with Mercs, that is a valid answer.... not the one i was hoping for but still an answer and I can attempt to navigate how to fire MGB on demand with Mercs in a special case if needed. Perhaps I throw a pause toggle in the button before and after the MGB command, i dunno. This is purpose of this thread.

XD
The issue being is the default config will already use it without MGB on burns. If you are trying to coordinate burns, you can always ofc just turn burns off until they are called for, and add a preactivate condition to that burn entry to use MGB first. It's already supported.
Otherwise, I would absolutely pause mercs to make sure it doesn't do its own thing and screw you over
