What are they exactly? When are they useful? How can I find/implement them?
Thanks in advance!
List of various programs and info just here
I use the program that came with my mouse and have it to where clicking one of the extra mouse buttons casts skill slot 0 every uh, however many seconds the cooldown of Blood of Dreeg is plus a few seconds. This is useful because Blood of Dreeg is a great buff and I personally hate keeping it up manually. On a pet build the buff is a lot more important than the heal. There is a similar skill on Nightblade and one on Inquisitor as well.
I mean…I did do a google search mate. Just didn’t quite understand how to implement them, or ‘code’ for them. ><’’
Usually a gaming mouse will come with software that allows you to program these macros. I use a Logitech G500 and it takes a lot of the drudgery out of comboing skills and also repeating those which have a longer cooldown.
Some might argue it takes the hard edge off of the game but for folks like me that are clumsy and easily confused in the thick of things, it’s a godsend.
Hi I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently so i decided to do some digging. Seems like the answer is either having a gaming mouse or using a program called autohotkeys. So i downloaded autohotkeys and am starting to have a look. Using the program involves scripting so if you’re new to that then it might be quite a high entry curve. I found a reddit post which looked like it gave a good starting point for your own macro (disclaimer:- i haven’t tried it yet):
this script (providing it works) and reading the first two paragraphs of the autohotkeys tutorial might be enough to get you started.
Thanks guys! This helped a lot. It’s much appreciated.
I would love to quote everyone in my reply, but I’m not sure how. But do know that this gratitude is expressed to yall. 
No probs dude. Post back if you get anywhere. Might take some of the work out of it for me 
I’ll do likewise
There are a lot of different options, and depending on your skills and desires, you’ll prefer one software to another. I use Logitech’s Gaming Software with the Lua scripting environment. They have macros, but with scripting, I can have a lot of logic put into my scripts that macros cannot do. The catch is that you have to be able to write code in Lua.
AutoHotkey is nice in that it is not vendor specific. Meaning it works on any brand of mouse.
It’s just your initial post didn’t really give any info so no idea what you did or didn’t know or had or hadn’t done
