Stealth Opener

Targets the nearest enemy and opens with your assassination strike. Positional damage means the opener has to land from behind, so the targeting step matters.

Where to paste this

Open the EQ2 menu, choose Macros, and click New Macro.
Name it and pick an icon — the icon is what appears on your hotbar.
Drag an ability from your knowledge book into a step, or click Command and type one.
Add further steps for chat, targeting or pet orders with the Add Step button.
Drag the finished macro from the Macro window onto a hotbar slot.

More EQ2 macros

Assassin macros first, then the rest of the EQ2 library.

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.
Big Nuke with Warning
Wizard
```
/useability "Ice Comet"
/g Comet incoming - watch hate
```
Fires your largest spell and warns the tank that a hate spike is coming. A Wizard that pulls aggro in EQ2 dies more or less instantly.
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.
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.
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.
Casting Speed Buff
Troubador
```
/useability "Bagpipe Solo"
/g Speed buff is up
```
Applies your group casting speed buff and announces it, which the mages in your group will notice immediately if it drops.
Charm and Command
Coercer
```
/useability "Possess Essence"
/pet attack
```
Charms a target and immediately sets the resulting pet to a sensible stance. Charm breaks without warning, so the follow-up command belongs on the same button.
Cure a Named Player
Templar
```
/useabilityonplayer Playername "Cure"
```
Cures a specific person without changing target, which is the whole reason useabilityonplayer exists. Cures are time-critical and target swapping loses casts.
