Macro

Can i use macros in gw2 ? Only in pve not in pvp or wvw.

no you cannot

There is an announcement above that explains Anet's stance on macros.

Here is the macro policy from the sticky:

MacrosGuild Wars 2 players are permitted to use macros as long as the macros are programmed with a one-to-one function protocol. This means the following:If you program a macro, it must require one keystroke per action. You may not program a single key to perform multiple functions. For example, if you Press A and it results in the casting of a single skill, you're ok. If you Press A and it casts multiple spells, you're not ok.You cannot program a macro to perform the same or multiple actions on more than one account at a time.You cannot program an "auto-clicker" macro that, for instance, opens chests while you play elsewhere, or that opens a quantity of chests with a single click.NOTE: We make an exception for macros used for music composition or musical performances. As long as a player employs such a macro solely for the performance of in-game music, we do not place restrictions on its use.

Ohh, thank you.

One button, one action.

Macros that complete a series of actions with one key-press are specifically not allowed.

Read an article on CharaChorder and wondering on ArenaNet's take on its use in the following situations:

Chat channels?

Playing music?

Game play actions?

Did you read this back in 2017?

Did a search in the forums and this was the first page that came up.  Wasn't sure if I should post here or a new spot.  I did read the sticky above, which brought up more questions...

Here is the current policy: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013762153-Policy-Macros-and-Macro-Use

In short: binding dodge & jump in single key, auto-clicker to open/consume a stack of items and macros to play music are allowed as long as you're not afk while using them.

Four years....

What about using macros to switch between build and equipment templates?

If it's not listed as allowed, it's a risk.  You can do/use anything you want, but you do risk your account.  It seems CS/GMs aren't quite as 'friendly' as they used to be.

Good luck.

So, if I am correct (and I am not 100% certain I am), there are key bind options for each, which means you would need two button presses.  One to swap to the build, one to swap to the equipment.

In this wiki page, it shows that you can key bind to templates, but again, you’d need one for Build and one for equipment.
