    I used to be able to do this using macros. I put one gen on a macro and assign it to a secondary key to gen when im playing one handed. Now, with the ban on genesis on macros, I sometimes press a button assigned to nothing.

    While I don't play mage, I second this.
    I have 2 brandish hotkeys: one for left hand and another for right hand

    Definitely agree it would be cool to have, having to rely on hardware to achieve this can suck.

    This is a client limitation. Can't confirm or deny if the client behaves weirdly if this happens to be done. Curious to test, though.

    Can't you use the skill combo?

    I used to use that for Paladin HH
    Normal Skill was on 'x' key while the Combo Skill (with only HH) was on 'p'

    Those are called "macro" ingame, and this latest patch they changed it so that you can't add mage ults to macros.

    I don't understand why they did that.. now we gotta use another key for @mapowner and waste time using another clunky ability that will take about 10 seconds to complete before even using the clunkiness from FMA to repeat the process thus wasting time leeching..

    They did it because people were binding 3 mage ults in a row, for example, 3 Blizzard in 1 macro, so that they can cast it and then alt tab to play another client, and the character will just cast Blizz 3 times. Some people were even selling leech from multiple clients at the same time, making huge profits. Genius if you ask me, but I understand why staff would want end-game grinding to not be about hitting 1 key and then alt-tabbing away for 20 seconds.

    Can Bowmasters still Alt+Tab Hurricane?

    Because wouldn't that count as "paper-weight botting" tab is acting as something is on spacebar for a short time until the duration of Soul Arrow has passed or if they decide to go back to the client and repeat.

    Wait... checking @mapowner with a mage ult macro is like stabbing someone and then checking if they were alive :thinking: Just to prevent any griefing/KS allegations, I would always suggest tying @mapowner to a fast casting skill and/or a non-damaging one.

    On my mage, I usually keep mapowner on "seal", and on my HS mule I have it on "dispel".

    Its to keep track of the timer while Genesis if being used, if the change was for removing double-triple FMA to macro then just have it set up as one..

    I have @mapowner on skills I use though XD (My NL has it on Triple Throw, Avenger and Haste/Booster)

    I would use it to check epm consistently at shaolin so I know what kind of leech I'm providing. I would constantly be getting epm 3's throughout the entire hour by having @epm3 binded to the macro. It's no longer possible to do which is unfortunate.

    Honestly I believe mages can still cast their ults and alt tab to another client, however repositioning the mage is very troublesome. There are different methods of making mesos such as farming and not just leeching every time because I think it will eventually get boring?

    Of course, people will still find alternate methods to make loads of mesos and I truly hope that the Staff could reconsider about the mage ultimates being unable to apply into the skill macro. :)
