**Advanced Macro Strings**

Now to the bread and butter! To use the following strings you will need to create a macro. To do this you go to the options menu then select macros or simply type /macro. Here you can select a
icon (or use the #show command to get the icon you desire) and enter the strings into the blank field. Once you create your macro you can place it on a spot on your AbilityBar. Some macros let you
clear up AbilityBar space by organizing different spells into one macro instead of having every spell hot keyed (keep in mind those macros will only use "1" skill due to patching of stringed abilities).
Below are a few example I have at the moment.

*Assisting main Tank*

target
assist
cast

*As a tank or puller let people know you are pulling while getting hate*

party I am pulling the target %T
cast

*One button Follow command for a person you group with a lot*

*Healing – do this for all 5 group members and you have a handy 1 button heal for each, you can mess around with different skills and combinations but you get the idea*

*Setting up Reactionary Skills - Be sure to put the reactants on top so it cycles correctly*

cast Furious Rage (reactive such as on block)
cast Face Slam (melee ability with a cooldown such as 6 seconds)
cast Reckless Strike (Melee Range Spamable)

*Using chat in macros to remind you to rebuff*
