Could you post some example of the macros you use. I don't want to annoy groups with useless spam on CA's that don't need announced but am not sure which ones need to be announced for group members to be aware of what I am doing.

Great guide btw

For me, I have macros to let my group know when Adrenaline or Juggernaut is up, when I use Intervene on someone, and when I pop Guarded Vehemence on someone. The reasons I have for shouting this out is because the lack of Mitigation during Juggernaut makes me more vulnerable, I will loose a huge chunk of power at the end of Adrenaline, informing the Main Tank in raids that I am actually intervening him, and to let the character whom I popped Guarded Vehemence on know what I put on them.

I have seen other tanks shout out when they hit rescue, but with the amount of snap taunts we get at level 80 and almost 200 AA's I just assume that the group members realize when the mob is no longer attacking them.

I think it is a little excessive to be spouting off "%t has just been taunted!" or "Using Wild Swing!" I'd say use your better judgment, if you feel your group and or raid needs to know about it, then let them know, though I don't shout out anything into raid chat unless I'm pulling.

Awesome wright up Lyger, I would also suggest that you mention keeping line of sight with your healers as there has been times when I have gone around a corner to pull, or gone over some obstacle thinking I am within sight of my healers only to find myself flat on my face. Still very clean and preside, nice and right to the point.

Hey any chance of a sticky on this for the n00bs? Someone more patient than I dug it up for the latest one but really this shouldn't be buried, Lyger did some good shit here.

i do wish i could finish it but with the getting ready to move shit, work and now temporarily retired from EQ2 i haven't really been around much so if anyone wants editing rights let me know and i'll see if a mod can add you so it can be completed.

i had plans of taking screenshots to help show things a little easier and adding on a few more tips.
