The award-winning res macro
I get whispers all the time along the lines of “lol,” “awesome,” and “that’s great,” and it’s all because of one award-winning macro. It pulls a random /say every time I res someone, so everyone feels like they get a personalized joke.
Ready for it? Copy-paste this into your macro box:
#showtooltip
/cast Resurrection Or whatever your res spell is
/run SendChatMessage (GetRandomArgument(“%t”, “%t”, “%t”, “%t”), “SAY”)
Inside of the quotation marks, make a unique phrase that incorporates %t–that’ll display the name of your target–so that you’re not only getting some great reactions, you’re letting the other ressers know who you’re in the middle of reviving.
My macro looks like this:
#showtooltip
/cast Resurrection
/run SendChatMessage (GetRandomArgument(“Resisting…urge…to t-bag…%t…”, “%t scores A+ on dying!”, “%t, I give you res, five gold!”, “%t, thank you for choosing Joh Res Service for all your resing needs.”), “SAY”)
So my character will randomly say: “Resisting…urge…to t-bag…Elowyn…” or “Elowyn scores A+ on dying!” or “Elowyn, I give you res, five gold!” or “Elowyn, thank you for choosing Joh Res Service for all your resing needs.”
Some pointers regarding this macro:
- Remember you only get 250 characters. Mine cuts it very close.
- You can replace “SAY” with “PARTY” or “RAID” or “YELL” or “EMOTE” if you so choose.
- You can use this macro for other fundamental spells the people around you should know about, like crowd control. Simply replace the name of the spell on the /cast line.
Yesterday I posted about AFKing players and some Internet sites you can visit during raiding lulls. One of the other pass times I have for those BRB moments is playing with this macro. I try to change my res macro’s random sayings once a month to keep the jokes fresh; it gets old after you say the same thing 100 times, so mix it up often!

Wandered in from the list for IComWeLeave. I don’t know what game you are playing. Going to have a look at the Aspiring Author blog in your sidebar.
