Illusionist macros

Crowd control plus the group power regeneration and haste that every raid wants.

17 macros

Assist the Main Tank
General
```
/target Tankname
/assist
```
Targets a named player and picks up whatever they are fighting. Keeps a whole group on one target without anybody calling it out loud.
Call for Help
General
```
/shout Contested up at the tower, need bodies
```
Broadcasts to everyone nearby. Still how open-world contested spawns get organised on the older servers.
Camp to Another Character
General
```
/camp Altname
```
Camps straight to a named character rather than going back through the select screen. A real time saver for anyone running crafting alts.
Cast on a Named Player
General
```
/useabilityonplayer Tankname "Reinforcement VI"
```
Casts an ability directly on a named player without changing your target. This is the closest thing EQ2 has to a mouseover heal and it is invaluable for support classes.
Find Players in the Zone
General
```
/who templar
```
Lists who is nearby, filterable by class and level. The fastest way to find a healer when your group loses one.
Group and Raid Chat
General
```
/g Incoming pull
/r Stack for the area effect
```
Posts to your group with /g or the whole raid with /r. Raid leaders live in /r, and pairing a call-out with the ability it describes is the most useful macro pattern in the game.
Narrow Targeting
General
```
/target_narrow gnoll
```
target_narrow matches a partial name and picks the nearest match, which is far more reliable than plain /target in a room full of similarly named trash.
One Ability, Many Commands
General
```
/useability "Taunt"
/g Taunting - hold your damage
```
The rule that shapes every EQ2 macro: there is no wait command, so a second ability on the next step simply never fires. Pair one ability with as many chat, target and pet commands as you like.
Pet Command Bar
General
```
/pet attack
/pet backoff
/pet follow
/pet stay
```
The pet states summoner classes switch between constantly. All four are plain commands rather than abilities, so they can share a single macro or sit on separate keys.
Post to Guild Chat
General
```
/gu Anyone need a crafter for tradeskill writs?
```
Posts to guild chat with /gu. EQ2 guilds have levels and status, so guild chat carries more weight here than in most games.
Power Regeneration Announce
Illusionist
```
/useability "Illusory Allies"
/g Power regen is up
```
Applies your group power regeneration and says so. Illusionist power feed is one of the most valuable buffs in the game and people plan around it.
Run Commands from a File
General
```
/do_file_commands setup.txt
```
Reads a plain text file of commands from your EQ2 folder and runs them in order. The one way to share a setup between characters, since macros themselves are per character.

Other EQ2 classes

Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
