Taunt and Call the Pull

Taunts and tells the group you have aggro, so damage dealers hold off until threat exists. In a game with no threat meter, the call is the meter.

Where to paste this

Open the Socials window (Alt+S by default) and pick an empty button.
Give the social a name and a colour, then type up to five command lines.
Use /cast 1 through /cast 12 to fire the spell in that gem slot.
Put /pause between actions — the number is tenths of a second, so /pause 25 is 2.5 seconds.
Drag the finished social onto a hotbar and bind it to a key.

More EverQuest macros

Warrior macros first, then the rest of the EverQuest library.

Ask for a Corpse Run
General
```
/shout Corpse in the zone entrance, can anyone summon?
```
Announces your position and asks for a summon. Corpse recovery is a whole social institution in EverQuest and getting the request right matters.
Assist the Main Assist
General
```
/assist Tankname
/pause 5
/attack on
```
Targets a named player and picks up whatever they are attacking. This is how an EverQuest group stays on one mob, and it predates every other assist system in the genre.
Auto Attack On
General
```
/attack on
```
Explicitly turns melee swinging on rather than toggling it. Using "on" instead of a bare /attack means a macro can never accidentally switch your attack off.
Buff and Announce
General
```
/g Casting group haste, hold your buffs
/pause 10
/cast 3
```
Tells the group what is landing before it lands. In a game where buffs have long durations and limited slots, saying what you are casting avoids overwriting somebody else's work.
Camp Out Safely
General
```
/camp
```
Starts the camp timer, which is the only safe way to leave the game — a hard disconnect leaves your character in the world for a while.
Cast and Pause
General
```
/cast 1
/pause 35
/cast 2
```
The shape of every EverQuest macro. /cast fires the spell in that gem slot, and the pause that follows has to be long enough to cover the cast time or the next line is simply dropped. Remember the number is tenths of a second.
Chain Past the Five-Line Limit
General
```
/cast 1
/pause 35
/cast 2
/pause 35
/social BuffPart2
```
A social can call another social by name, which is how long sequences get built. Keep the chain short — every hop costs you a line and the timing drifts.
Fire a Discipline
Warrior
```
/g Defensive up
/disc Defensive
```
Uses a defensive discipline and announces it, so the healers know they have a window where you take much less damage and can save their mana.
