Macros in Aion 2 are a great way to chain your skills smoothly and handle repetitive actions without losing focus in combat. Whether you’re grinding dungeons, PvP’ing, or farming Kinah, knowing how to make and use macros can save you a lot of time and effort. Here’s a step-by-step guide.
1. Creating a Macro
Open the Macro Menu:
Press U (default) to open your Skill Menu, then click the Macro tab.
Start a New Macro:
Click New to open the macro editor.
Set It Up:
Name: Give your macro a short, memorable name (up to 10 characters).
Description: Optional, but helpful if you plan to have many macros.
Icon: Pick an icon you’ll recognize on your hotbar.
Input Commands:
Drag & Drop: Drag skills directly from your skill book into the macro window.
Manual Typing: Type commands like /Skill [Skill Name]. Accuracy is key—check spelling and spacing.
Save Your Macro:
Hit Save to store it.
2. Using a Macro
Assign to Hotbar:
Drag the macro icon from the Macro window onto your Quickbar.
Set a Key Binding:
Go to Settings → Key Bindings → General. Find Macro Activation and bind it to a key (like 1 or Q).
Execute the Macro:
Press your assigned key during combat. For smooth looping, enable “Repeat while key is held” in options, so the macro keeps running as long as you hold the key down.
3. Pro Tips for Better Macros
Use the Delay Command:
Include /Delay [seconds] to match skill animations. For example, if a skill takes 1 second to cast, set the next command’s delay to about 1.1 seconds.
Keep It Short:
Long macros are prone to breaking if you get stunned or a skill is on cooldown. Mini-macros with 2–3 skill combos are more reliable than one giant rotation.
Account for Ping:
High latency can make macros skip skills. Increase /Delay slightly to match your connection for smooth execution.
