Rotation and macro

Farming at 45: Moxsy's macro, buffs included

Macro by Moxsy (via Couga54)Single source

  • Solo and leveling
  • From level 45
  • 4 Stigmas out of 4

Hold X1 with LMBside mouse button, suggested: the game assigns no key

  1. Step 1: Q, Gale Arrow, Explosive Arrow, Snare Shot
  2. Step 2: RMB, Drill Dart, Tempest Shot
  3. Step 3: 1, Burst Arrow, Vaizel's Authority
  4. Step 4: RMB, Drill Dart, Tempest Shot
  5. looping, 10 ms

Not on the bar:Bow of Blessing (Stigma this build doesn't equip)Supporting Fire (Stigma this build doesn't equip)

ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

When farming there is no boss window to wait for: Moxsy (with JohnPal) puts the three buffs in the macro, behind Burst Arrow, and the second B step keeps Drill Dart on every cooldown once Stigmas reach 15. That is the difference from dungeons, where buffs stay manual; Couga54 recommends this setup for "the open world and easy dungeons". Same macro as the end of levelling: the guide gives it for both.

  1. Gale Arrow : Priority 0: Gale.
  2. Explosive Arrow : Priority 1: area hit.
  3. Snare Shot : Priority 2: slows the pack.
  4. Drill Dart : Priority 0: twice per loop.
  5. Tempest Shot : Priority 1: filler.
  6. Burst Arrow : Priority 0: on the slowed pack, 10% absorb with its pick.
  7. Vaizel's Authority : Priority 1: whenever it is back.
  8. Bow of Blessing : Priority 2.
  9. Supporting Fire : Priority 3.
Keep it manual
  • Snipe to tag, Marking Shot and Explosion Trap to pull together.
  • Charged Deadshot on the biggest target.
  • Suppressing Arrow before an elite's stagger, Arrow Scattershot during it.
How to set it up in game

A, B, C then B, 10 ms each: A = Gale Arrow, Explosive Arrow, Snare Shot; B = Drill Dart, Tempest Shot; C = Burst Arrow, Vaizel's Authority, Bow of Blessing, Supporting Fire. Charge Deadshot by hand.

  1. Open your skills (K), then the macro button at the top right.
  2. Add one step per blue key, in the order of the numbers: click its icon and pick the slot.
  3. Delay of each step: 10 ms.
  4. Settings, Keys, General, Skill macro: bind the key that holds it.
Where this macro comes from

Moxsy (Oct 5 video guide made with JohnPal; bar at 13:32), which Couga54 (Oct 10, republished on aion2-guides.info on Nov 11) gives for "levelling and the first days at 45". The same guide notes that JOHNPAL ("lazy" setup) and Fubgun (Oct 15 video) also put Burst Arrow and the buffs in one macro step for the open world. Couga54, aion2guidance and aion2-guides.info publish the same guide (same text, same sources, Oct 10, Oct 24 and Nov 11 versions): that is a single source.

Picked for you: your build's macro · made for: Solo and leveling

Why this bar
  • LMBSnipe : Snipe and its chain (Rapid Fire, Spiral Arrow): hold it with the macro key. Each hit restores 120 to 150 MP and, with the level-12 pick, takes 1 s off Deadshot.
  • RMBDrill Dart › Tempest Shot : Drill Dart line: Drill Dart (priority 0), Burst Arrow (1, on a slowed target), Arrow Scattershot (2, from its level 16, only during staggers), Tempest Shot (3, no cooldown, always last) (aion2maps).
  • QGale Arrow › Explosive Arrow › Snare Shot : Gale Arrow line: Gale first (a 10 to 15 s buff to keep up), Griffon Arrow, then Snare Shot, which slows the target for the Drill Dart line (aion2maps, IruMinaTi). Explosive Arrow goes after Snare Shot.
  • EMarking Shot : Marking Shot, always by hand: Precision (+300 Crit, +35% on Deadshot) for 15 s with the pick; recast it about 2 s before it ends, standing still, because it makes you leap.
  • 1Burst Arrow › Vaizel's Authority : Vaizel's Authority (+20% Attack, 60 s): the core of the burst, cast with Bow of Blessing and Supporting Fire; at tier 10, Focused Eye counts ×1.5 while it lasts.
  • 4Deadshot : Deadshot on its own key, held: full charge (3 steps) every cooldown, under Precision if possible. A side mouse button works well (Couga54).
  • 5Explosion Trap : Explosion Trap at your feet: pulls packs when farming, makes distance when a melee catches you in PvP.
  • 6Defiance : Defiance: your only break from stuns, knockdowns, grabs and fear; also on a side button so you react without letting go of the three keys.
  • 8Arrow Storm : Arrow Storm, situational Stigma: 50 stagger damage, the most of the whole class, for a boss whose gauge must break fast, or to stun a pack when farming.
