Gatherbuddy and some usefull Macros  

Posted by ghost_soul in , , , , ,

Gatherbuddy is the first generation of flying gathering bots created by Bossland and his team over at Gatherbuddy.  Unfortunatly it does not use the navigation and combat systems of their other great bot, Honorbuddy.  Because of this you must use macros in order to fight effectively.  Macros will also help you keep your bags somewhat organized since you can set up a macro to combine any crystalized or motes that you have into their primary items (Eternals and Primals).  The first macro I'll show you does exactly this.

#showtooltip
/use Crystallized Fire
/use Crystallized Air
/use Crystallized Earth
/use Crystallized Water
/use Crystallized Shadow
/use Crystallized Life
/cast Turbo-Charged Flying Machine
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Obviously you can also add your motes of whatever into that, but since I rarely farm the Outlands I do not have those in there.  The /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() is the most important part of that macro in my oppinion.  It keeps your screen from being spammed with "You do not have enough of that item" and whatnot.

Next I will show you what I use for combat.  Please note that I primarily play hunters, so I will post my macros for combat in Gatherbuddy for a Survival hunter.  First we'll go with the two Survival macros that are dependent on where you're farming.  The first is a single target macro:

/petattack
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=target Serpent Sting(Rank 12), Explosive Shot(Rank 4), Steady Shot(Rank 4), Frost Trap, Disengage, Explosive Shot(Rank 4), Explosive Shot(Rank 4)

This macro is designed to take advantage of the Lock and Load proc that is almost guarenteed from the frost trap.  The next macro is better suited for places where you will more than likely have a group of mobs on you.

/petattack
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=target Explosive Trap(Rank 6), Snake Trap, Frost Trap,  Disengage, Explosive Shot(Rank 4), Explosive Shot(Rank 4), Multi-Shot(Rank 8)

Again this macro takes advantage of Lock and Load but also grabs damages other mobs in the area.  This is particularly useful if you are farming Sholazar Basin and are allied with the Oracles and drop down to get a node in Kartak's Hold where the Frenzyheart are grouped up.  Honestly this is the only combat macro I use anymore.

Now for some other usefull macros to use with Gatherbuddy, or just regular gameplay.  I'll start with the simple Eat/Drink macro which gives you a 1 button way to eat and drink.

/use Mead Basted Caribou
/use Honeymint Tea

Pretty simple.  Now for you hunters out there, a 1 button feed pet macro:

#showtooltip
/cast Feed Pet
/use Mead Basted Caribou

Obviously you just replace what food and drink you're using and feeding your pet with what I put in there.

And yet one more that will rez, mend, and feed your pet if it's dead.  Probably best put in the after rez button for Gatherbuddy.


#show [modifier:alt] Mutton Chop
/cast [nopet] Call Pet
/cast [@pet, dead] Revive Pet
/cast [pet, nomodifier, button:1] Mend Pet
/cast [pet, nomodifier, button:2] Dismiss Pet
/cast [pet, modifier:alt] Feed Pet
/use [pet, modifier:alt] Mutton Chop
That about does it for the macros I use for my farmer in Gatherbuddy
There are other macros you can use for differnt classes, but since I farm on a Hunter
that's all I have.
