Shift to Dwarf Form

Switches to the armoured form and moves your tray with it. Dwarf form is your panic button as well as your tanking mode, so it needs to be one key.

Where to paste this

  1. Type /macro NAME "command" to create a tray button labelled NAME, then drag it where you want it.
  2. Use /macro_image "IconName" "NAME" "command" instead if you want a proper power icon rather than text.
  3. Type /bind KEY "command" to attach the same thing to a keyboard key.
  4. Chain commands with $$ — /macro Heal "targetcustomnext friend$$powexec_name Heal Other".
  5. Save your layout with /bind_save_file binds.txt and restore it with /bind_load_file binds.txt.

More City of Heroes macros

Peacebringer macros first, then the rest of the City of Heroes library.

  • Announce Before You Teleport Someone

    General

    /macro Recall "team Teleporting $target - hold still$$powexec_name Recall Friend"

    Recall Friend drops the target on top of you with no warning, which is startling mid-fight. Announcing first is basic courtesy and this makes it automatic.

  • Announce the Nuke

    Blaster

    /macro Nuke "team Nuking - cover me$$powexec_name Inferno"

    Tells the team before you drop an area attack, because on many builds it leaves you without endurance afterwards and they need to be ready to cover you.

  • Assassin Strike Opener

    Stalker

    /macro AS "targetcustomnear enemy alive$$powexec_name Assassin's Strike"

    Targets the nearest enemy and opens with your assassination power from Hide. The whole archetype is built around landing this first strike cleanly.

  • Bind a Command to a Key

    General

    /bind p "powexec_name Fire Shield"

    Attaches a command to a keyboard key rather than a tray slot. Binds cost you no tray space at all, which is why serious builds end up almost entirely bound rather than macroed.

  • Blaster Panic Button

    Blaster

    /macro Run "powexec_name Combat Jumping$$powexec_name Break Free"

    Fires your self-defence power and starts moving away in one press. Blasters have the least health in the game, and hesitation is what kills them.

  • Brute Opener

    Brute

    /macro Go "targetcustomnear enemy alive$$powexec_name Taunt"

    Charges the nearest enemy and starts building Fury immediately. Brutes hit hardest when Fury is high, so the opening seconds of a fight matter more than for other archetypes.

  • Return to Human Form

    Peacebringer

    /macro Human "powexec_toggleoff Bright Nova$$powexec_toggleoff White Dwarf$$powexec_toggleon Shining Shield"

    Drops whichever form you are in and turns your human-form toggles back on. Kheldian play is form dancing, and doing it by clicking trays is hopeless.

  • Shift to Nova Form

    Peacebringer

    /macro Nova "powexec_toggleon Bright Nova$$goto_tray 2"

    Switches to the ranged damage form and swaps your tray to the powers that belong to it. The goto_tray command is what makes the transition feel seamless.
