Bruiser macros

The offensive brawler, trading the Monk's defensive tools for raw damage and debuffs.

16 macros

E2
Assist the Main Tank
General
```
/target Tankname
/assist
```
Targets a named player and picks up whatever they are fighting. Keeps a whole group on one target without anybody calling it out loud.
E2
Call for Help
General
```
/shout Contested up at the tower, need bodies
```
Broadcasts to everyone nearby. Still how open-world contested spawns get organised on the older servers.
E2
Camp to Another Character
General
```
/camp Altname
```
Camps straight to a named character rather than going back through the select screen. A real time saver for anyone running crafting alts.
E2
Cast on a Named Player
General
```
/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.
E2
Find Players in the Zone
General
```
/who templar
```
Lists who is nearby, filterable by class and level. The fastest way to find a healer when your group loses one.
E2
Group and Raid Chat
General
```
/g Incoming pull
/r Stack for the area effect
```
Posts 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.
E2
Narrow Targeting
General
```
/target_narrow gnoll
```
target_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.
E2
One Ability, Many Commands
General
```
/useability "Taunt"
/g Taunting - hold your damage
```
The 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.
E2
Pet Command Bar
General
```
/pet attack
/pet backoff
/pet follow
/pet stay
```
The 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.
E2
Post to Guild Chat
General
```
/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.
E2
Run Commands from a File
General
```
/do_file_commands setup.txt
```
Reads a plain text file of commands from your EQ2 folder and runs them in order. The one way to share a setup between characters, since macros themselves are per character.
E2
Swap Hotbar Pages
General
```
/show_hotbar 3
```
Changes which hotbar page is showing. Useful for classes with more abilities than bar space, which in EQ2 is most of them.

Other EQ2 classes

Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
