Is it possible for a claw/fist BM, to create a macro that auto-attacks, and sparks whenever they are available?

If so, what is the combination needed?

    uhm...that's the most basic macro of them all....

    "repeat"-hit-hit-spark-hit

    basically every skill can be included between two normal hits. If it's in cooldown the macro will jump over it.

    "repeat"-hit-hit-skill-hit-hit-skill-hit will rotate forever, regardless of skills inside it being in cooldown.

    Works for every class with any skill between "normal attacks"


    LE: Forgot the last "hit"

    Cool, thanks lol

    I'm not used to melee classes, but I heard an archer say a spark macro was possible - just never tried it out.


    Edit: Works! Thanks very much Rhyme.

    I was trying to work in my chi skills in between. I had repeat, hit, hit, spark, hit hit. I think it skipped my spark when my chi skill was in cooldown. Think I had the chi skill between the first and second hit, not sure if that's the right way to do it. Would I need to do repeat, hit, hit, chi, hit hit, spark, hit?

    yup, entirely.
    But usually only worth it on melee -interval.
    Otherwise until you muster up 3 sparks from normal attack , better click on spark yourself, a good way not to fall asleep in those long TT runs.

    Repeat -> Hit -> Spark works fine for an auto-attack + spark macro as long as you aren't trying to toss extra skills into it.

    From what I've found you need two or three normal attacks before spark, and two after... or sometimes the macro will break. Dunno, could just be lag on my part, but I've compared my triple spark macro with at least a half dozen other 5.0 BMs and we've all come to similar macros. Mine is 2x normal, triple 3x normal. Anything less than that for me and my macro can break.

    Repeat > Spark > Hit has always worked fine for me, however I've only gotten to use this at lower speeds

    at lower intervals my walk behind the enemy, hit, spark hit macro worked quite well. At 5.0 i noticed it glitched and went to walk behind the enemy, attack attack, spark, attack attack, and now it never glitches. hope this helps

    ^^^^

    -Interval and -channeling can break macros.
