/target Tankname
/assistTargets a named player and picks up whatever they are fighting. Keeps a whole group on one target without anybody calling it out loud.
/shout Contested up at the tower, need bodiesBroadcasts to everyone nearby. Still how open-world contested spawns get organised on the older servers.
/camp AltnameCamps straight to a named character rather than going back through the select screen. A real time saver for anyone running crafting alts.
/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.
/useabilityonplayer Playername "Cure"Cures a specific person without changing target, which is the whole reason useabilityonplayer exists. Cures are time-critical and target swapping loses casts.
/who templarLists who is nearby, filterable by class and level. The fastest way to find a healer when your group loses one.
/g Incoming pull
/r Stack for the area effectPosts 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.
/useability "Prayer of Healing"
/r Group heal is outFires your group heal and tells the raid, so the other healer can hold theirs rather than overlapping. Overlapping group heals is the most common healing waste in EQ2.
/target_narrow gnolltarget_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.
/useability "Taunt"
/g Taunting - hold your damageThe 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 attack
/pet backoff
/pet follow
/pet stayThe 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.
/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.
Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
