Keep in mind, that all of my toons except for a couple of merit farmers were Vigilante.
Also, I used to have binds for everything, even rolling taunts.
Sadly, I had to look it up, as it had been so long
b "local Greater Good!!1!one!1$$emote Howl$$bind_load_file D:\City of Heroes\Binds\Taunt2.txt"
also, my favouritest bind EVAH!
/bind ` "target_enemy_near"
I only ever used `, 1-6, Ctrl+1-6, Alt+1-6 and Shift+1-6, because lazy, and lets face it..
Aint nobody got time to stretch index finger from WASD up to like 8!! ~ that way madness lies!
Was that one of those files that would load a different taunt text each time you used it.
I kind of wanted to do more what macros and binds, but with my altitis, I had too many characters to level to sit around writing key binds.
Although, for certain characters I would create macros that fired off text and an emote.
For Wong Tong Suey, I had the grief emote and "Wong Tong Suey" text as if that was an expression of grief.
I thought that it was funny.
For The Paragon Comptroller, I had a BRB macro where he would say, "I need to get rid of some liquid assets, be right back." That usually got an 'lol'.
And for Overseer Bot, a thugs mastermind, his pets would do the praise emote and say, "All hail Overseer Bot!"
And I had a jumping jacks macro too. I even had a batsmashreact emote for the pets and a batsmash emote for the robot with the pets saying, "We're sorry!".
I had one character change his costume from army fatigues to a human canon ball like suit and say, "Up, up and awy!" and start flying. I just had to have him on autorun and pointed up. The only problem was that sometimes his flight was too short and the game wouldn't let him change back into his fighting clothes, stupid game.
I also had, as most tri-form HEAT's did, a set of macros for changing the tray around. That was very handy if you used the top row number keys to fire off powers. And tri-forms tended to have lots of powers.
I remember reading, but I never tried it, a way to fire off two powers with a single key bind. The secret was to fire one power on key down and the other on key up.
One time I had macros for each one of my AR powers where he would fire the power and say something. I was a noob back then and thought that that would be cool. It got real old real fast when I was on a team. The game stopped me from talking for a while even. So don't tie speech to powers.
There was this one guy who have a key bind that welcomed players to his team, by saying something like, "With $target on our side, nothing will stand in our way!". It was a bit off-putting, because it sounded disingenuous.
