Henchmen Command Bar

The four states your henchmen can be in, one per key. Mastermind play is entirely about switching between these quickly, and the default pet window is far too slow for it.

Where to paste this

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

More City of Heroes macros

Mastermind 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$$powexec_name Assassin's Strike"
```
Targets the nearest enemy and opens with your assassination power from Hide. The whole archetype is built around landing this first strike cleanly.
Bind a Command to a Key
General
```
/bind p "powexec_name Fire Shield"
```
Attaches a command to a keyboard key rather than a tray slot. Binds cost you no tray space at all, which is why serious builds end up almost entirely bound rather than macroed.
Control One Henchman Tier
Mastermind
```
/bind numpad7 "petcompow Battle Drones aggressive"
/bind numpad8 "petcompow Protector Bots defensive"
```
petcompow targets a specific henchman power rather than the whole squad, so your tough tier can hold the line while the fragile tier stays back.
Focus Fire on Your Target
Mastermind
```
/macro Kill "petcomall attack$$team Pets on $target"
```
Sends the whole squad at whatever you have selected and tells the team what is being focused. Concentrating henchman damage is how a Mastermind kills anything quickly.
Rebuild the Squad
Mastermind
```
/macro Pets "powexec_name Equip Robot$$powexec_name Upgrade Robot"
```
Resummons and re-upgrades your henchmen in sequence. Only one power fires per press, so this is pressed repeatedly rather than once — but it saves hunting across three tray slots.
Send Henchmen to a Spot
Mastermind
```
/macro GoTo "petcomall goto stay"
```
Orders every henchman to move to where you click and hold position there. Placing your pets deliberately rather than letting them chase is the single biggest skill jump in the archetype.
