Subject: Re: Macro setup for bards


I personally micro Melee Attack and the rest songs in my first bank because
it is so much easier keeping 2 songs going at once if your have then hot
keyed. For forage and sense and inventory keys i have in my second bank
because hey, once i hit accelo to escape all i have to do is hit Shift 2,
and there is my drum and lets face it, hehe, u can't forage while fighting
so in my opinion it is wasting valuable space having it hotkeyed in your
first bank.... plus i usually don't forage until i'm safe in some corner or
behind some tree resting with restoration echoing across the server....
these are just my opinions off course...

Sing it Loud and Proud Bards,


Lynn
