Such as "XXX tells you: You now have Gravitas1!", second button has "you now have Gravitas2", etc, etc. Then in ACT I setup a trigger to look for the word Gravitas1, gravitas2, etc and give me a timer for each. I then have the TTS call out Gravitas1, Gravitas2, Gravitas3, etc. when the timer expires. That way I can hit the corresponding button without even looking down at the bar to refresh gravitas. (have them assigned to 1,2,3,4,etc of my third hotbar so CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc push the corresponding macro - Yes I'm a keyboarder...hate the mouse)

If i"m the only dirge on the raid then I can keep gravitas rolling on as many healers as I wish (MT healers get priority of course), if there's more than one I coordinate which healers I'm responsible for and which ones I'm not.

If you don't want to spam the person just send the tell off to a self-made channel and it will still work.

Also, if you have a shadowknight tanking you can throw gravitas on him and it works with their heal procs. Works wonders if he pulls half the zone at a time like most SKs do.

i used to do this, but then, with the help of a guildy, worked out a dynamic timer in gravitas that picks up the timer no matter who you cast it on (and adds the name to the timer as well.) may not work for you since you prefer keyboard commands, but you can find it a page or 2 back in this thread.

Can procs like dark squall, ego whip and cloak of justice can be tracked by ACT? Anything that has a text to it when it is successful?

Pallys make it on my gravitas macro too. Heck, so does damn near anyone with heals that they actually use, including me. I have my heal macroed to pre-cast Gravitas on myself for the extra punch, even though I only really use it in emergency situations.

I figure if Gravitas is up and I need to heal someone then I get it. Although the macro normally skips Gravitas since I've more than likely just cast it on some slacking healer.

Samedai,

Thank you for the great info. I am a brand new dirge and will set this up when I get home.

I just want to make sure I am correct when on hotbutton 3 with the new spell/ CA name changes.

<Data Name="Button3" Macro="SpellForMyLevel='Oration of Sacrifice II'
COND=(Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Custom.ProfitUI_ QuickRaidButtons.ActualLevel.Text < 78)
SpellForMyLevel=COND ? 'Oration of Sacrifice' : SpellForMyLevel
useabilityonplayer Parent.Target SpellForMyLevel
tell Parent.Target Lifetapping to you" Tooltip="(65) Oration of Sacrifice
(78) Oration of Sacrifice II"/>

If anyone can post an updated quickbutton config that would be geat.

Newb non techy question. And I know I have notepad on my PC, but you say to use notepad++ to edit. Does that come standard with the install with XP or is it something I have to install.

Thanks.

This is what I currently have for quick raid setup. We use a separate dirge channel in my guild for triggering ACT responses and seeing who is rezzing which target, so you'd want to edit these out or modify them for your own purposes.

<Page Name="Dirge">
<Data Name="Button1" Macro="SpellForMyLevel="Elegy at Death's Door"
useabilityonplayer Parent.Target SpellForMyLevel
tellchannel tainteddirge Rez on Parent.Target
raidsay Rez on Parent.Target
gsay Rez on Parent.Target" Tooltip="(44) Elegy at Death's Door"/>
<Data Name="Button2" Macro="SpellForMyLevel='Elegy of Awakening'
useabilityonplayer Parent.Target SpellForMyLevel
tellchannel tainteddirge Group Rez on Parent.Target
raidsay Group Rez on Parent.Target
gsay Group Rez on Parent.Target" Tooltip="(58) Elegy of Awakening"/>
<Data Name="Button3" Macro="SpellForMyLevel='Oration of Sacrifice II'
COND=(Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Custom.ProfitUI_ QuickRaidButtons.ActualLevel.Text < 78)
SpellForMyLevel=COND ? 'Oration of Sacrifice' : SpellForMyLevel
useabilityonplayer Parent.Target SpellForMyLevel
tell Parent.Target Lifetapping to you" Tooltip="(65) Oration of Sacrifice
(78) Oration of Sacrifice II"/>
<Data Name="Button4" Macro="SpellForMyLevel='Gravitas'
useabilityonplayer Parent.Target SpellForMyLevel
tellchannel tainteddirge Gravitas on Parent.Target
tell Parent.Target Hey Parent.Target You have Gravitas now" Tooltip="(80) Gravitas"/>
<Data Name="Button5" Macro="useabilityonplayer Parent.Target Confront Fear
tell Parent.Target Your Rez Effects are Removed
say Rez Effects Removed from Parent.Target" Tooltip="Confront Fear"/>
</Page>

Samedai,

Thank you for you help.

I got all timers in ACT working, how do I get the timers to show when I take EQ2 to full screen? I can see them if i play EQ2 in window mode but not in Full screen. I am sure I dont have a setting listed correct.

In still have to edit my quick raid button file, when I first edited it using notepad, it corrupted the UI. When i get home today I will download notepad++ and then try it again.

I just want to clarify, once I download notepad++ is it as simple as a cut and paste of your code using notepad++?

Thanks.

hmmm...not sure about how to get timer windows to show in fullscreen since i always play in window mode myself. maybe someone else on the forum has an idea for that. as for the quick raid buttons, just right click on your quick raid file and pick "edit with notepad +++" then cut and paste this setup over the dirge page that's in there. then just take a look and modify any of the tells / raidsays , etc. to what you want them to say.

Thank you.

As far as I know you can only get them to show in windows mode. I never managed to get them to work playing in full screen. Nor Vent overlay for that matter.
