A Guide to Mages comment thread

[Darian]

I have to agree with Skandranon on this issue, and I'd like to add on to it.  There are times where a mage will hit the polymorph key multiple times thanks to annoying line of sight issues (usually slopes).  I annoy even myself when I spam "Polymorphing %t" three or four times into party/raid chat.

I only use a polymorph macro if my party asks for me to do so.  The people who tend to break polymorph often (even two, three, or more seconds after it's been turned into a sheep) probably aren't going to end up getting a lot of benefit out of a last second chat message anyway.

I think I need to amend my previous comment. The mage I usually group with does use a macro -- but it's not bound to the spell, and he only uses it before the fight (target and click solely to announce). Honestly, I hadn't even considered anyone using it bound to the spell, because that's bloody well useless; if you're announcing it as you cast pre-combat, by the time anyone notices it something's already bleating down the hallway, and if you're announcing during combat, who the hell's gonna see it?
