Don't discount this little-bitty macro that could. It's as uncomplicated as it is useful.

I leave it on pretty much anytime I am soloing, macroing, or multi-boxing. Since I am a Wiz, insta-dropping aggro is better than any AA I can buy. It's like an activated ultra-mindcrash--it drops 100% aggro and has instant and unlimited reuse.

This is so incredibly simple, yet once it occurred to me to write it I have used it almost daily.

Sub Main
/echo Safety net is ready.
:Loop
/if (${Me.PctHPs} < 90) {
  /fade
  /end
}
/delay 1s
/goto :Loop
/return

I have never had it fail to save me yet. Of course, any mob or combination of mobs that can single-round you will kill you regardless.

And then I'll save the smart-alecs the trouble and say that, "real Wizards don't get aggro." Then the obligitory response, "not if we have a real tank." Ok, there. I just saved us a couple of pointless posts.

Hope other's find this useful.

P.S. It's great when you go AFK in a combat zone, just add a /succor in front of the /fade and punch your SafetyNet hotkey, since there won't be anyone else around to take your aggro. You gotta move.

Well, granted, /fade isn't instant but it takes effect instantly.

Here's the other one I use when I multi-box. It uses the same concept. Once again, I like simplicity.

| Nuker.mac
Sub Main
/echo Let's nuke...
:Loop
/if (${Target.PctHPs} < 85) {
/cast 1
/delay 2s
}
/if (${Me.PctHPs} < 50) {
  /fade
  /delay 10s
  /end
}
/delay 2s
/if (${Me.PctHPs} < 50) {
  /fade
  /delay 10s
  /end
}
/delay 2s
/if (${Me.PctHPs} < 50) {
  /fade
  /delay 10s
  /end
}
|/delay 3s
/if (${Target.PctHPs} < 10) {
/end
}
/goto :Loop
/return

Macros continue to run even while you are casting, of course. With this macro you can auto-fade upon aggro even when all your hotkeys are locked up with a spell cast. Adjust the intermediate delays to match the cast time of your favorite nuke.

What was that you say? I don't know. You must be having a graphics glitch, dude...

does fade operate like bard fade?

 

[BlackPower]

does fade operate like bard fade?

Not exactly, no.
-When a bard fades, he looses all aggro, and goes invis if out of combat range.
-With /fade it zones your character, but you'll pop right back in the spot where you used /fade

In other words it's like typing forcing your character to zone, into the same zone your in, at the coordinates you are at.

You disappear for a moment and your health drops from your groups display just like you left the zone then pops back up.

Not the best thing to have setup, I would almost flame a user that used this without any restrictions.

You can only say "I guess your bugged" to so many people before someone petitions you.

Law of averages, but good luck with it.

I did a group mission with a puller that was using /fade when he got too many adds. Not a smart thing to do because to everyone else, it looks like you zoned. One of the group members actually just dropped the group after a few times of this guy /fading. Before they dropped they said in group "Why dont you just warp to the mobs since it is so obvious you are a hacker".

This may be nice for soloing or boxing, but would definately not recomend using it around anyone that could get you in to trouble.

I like this!! Mostly I just box, but very occaisionally I group with the same people all the time and I 2 box on a crap machine... they have become accustomed to my characters glitches... and I don't even use macros or fade.... so I guess that I can use this as safely as anyone...

PS .... and, no, they don't know that I use any "3rd party software" ...

Fade works like warp.

Warp = ban atm

 

[forsakenshadow]

in Plane of fear /fade zones you back to enterance not back to where you were.

 

[Ccomp5950]

Fade works like warp.

Warp = ban atm

Actually Fade works like Zone.

where would i insert this code?

Having a macro that blatantly fades you or triggers an active hack while in a group....No one's written it because its not smart to do.

 

[BadPuss]

This may be nice for soloing or boxing, but would definately not recomend using it around anyone that could get you in to trouble.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[blade2580]

nope. this fade just reloads you in your current position cept you dont leave the zone.

 

[mrmath]

In general, I recommend no hacks in a raid, in groups where everyone does not know about your mq use and is ok with it, even if the group is ok with it, make sure others outside cannot spot you.

Even having Overlord Mata Muram on your target key while you at Anguish zone in for example, is really dumb. (Since others who don't necessarily like you can see you using mq).

Instead of using a hack like this, just abscund when getting high on the aggro list, and run back get a coth back..

Be responsible!
