Question about macroing for archers

hoodat

Im new to the archers and i recently made my first macro and i noticed something odd.

I start off with take aim then do a quickshot and then frost arrow and finally another quickshot and then i set it up to then start normall attacking.

However he never starts the normall attack process... WT HECK????????

You also need to add attack to the end of macro list. (there is an icon for that in the macro edit)

I have the normall attack sword icon at the end of the macro. the final one. but he just stands there doing nothing....

If the 2nd quickshot is not ready to cast (after the frostarrow) the macro will automatically quit.

try this for a macro
Frost, quickshot, lightning, normal, normal, frost, lightning, normal

Hmmm ill try that when i get lightning. Maybe the 2nd quickshot isnt ready like dude says. ill try that thanks.

Quickshot Level 1
Channel: 1.0 seconds
Cast: 0.6 seconds
Cooldown: 3.0 seconds

Frost Arrow Level 1
Channel: 1.0 seconds
Cast: 0.6 seconds
Cooldown: 3.0 seconds

Cooldown starts after channel and must be done before the next channel.

Quickshot cast + frost channel + frost cast = 2.2 seconds
This is less than quickshot's cooldown of 3.0 seconds so quickshot isn't ready.

Very cool...... so the cooldown is not allowing the spell to cast thus stopping the entire macro. Nice i just lightning upgrade and im gonna try that macro out now. Thanks for all your help.
