Macros & Skill Combinations

Essential macros for EverQuest Legends multiclass gameplay.

How Macros Work in EQL

EverQuest Legends uses the classic EQ macro system with /cast, /pause (in tenths of seconds, NOT seconds!), /alt act (for AAs and stances), /attack, and /pet commands. The pause command uses tenths of seconds — /pause 10 = 1 second wait.

⚠️ Important

EQL also supports a new macro event system. Stances are activated via /alt act [number]. You'll need to check your AA window to find the appropriate stance ability number after creating the character. Casting while moving is possible for many spells/songs. Test each macro before relying on it in combat.

David's Macros (Bard/Paladin/Enchanter)

1. Opening Rotation

/stand
/attack on
/alt act 1           # Defensive Stance (check your AA window for number)

/pause 2
/cast "Selos Accelerando"
/pause 2
/cast "Mesmerize"    # If adds present

2. Song Management

Bard songs no longer twist — they activate and sustain automatically. Use this macro to set up your default song rotation:

/cast "Selos Accelerando"         # Run speed

/pause 2
/cast "Psalm of Vitality"         # HP regen

Pro Tip: Macro Order

When building macros for a multiclass character, always consider which class's spell/ability is being cast. Paladin spells, Enchanter spells, and Bard songs all have separate cooldowns. You can stagger them in a single macro to maximize uptime. For example: Stun (Paladin) → pause → Mesmerize (Enchanter) → pause → Song (Bard) creates a seamless opening rotation.
