Does anyone know what the name of the "pet" you get is when you get the Shadow of Death debuff on the Gorefiend fight?

I've been using macro's like

/cast [pet] Spirit Lance; Shadow Word: Death

to properly control the ghost without fumbling for hotkeys, but this kinda messes up my rotations when I have my Shadowfiend up, because it doesn't have Spirit Lance ;-) It isn't that bad because I'd just end up Mindflaying for 15 seconds, but it's inefficient nonetheless.

So ideally I'd change it to

/cast [pet: whateverthenameofthatpetis] Spirit Lance; Shadow Word: Death

Our guild hunters, aff lock and lonely frostmage would also love you for it ;-)

/cast [pet: Vengeful Spirit] Spirit Lance; Shadow Word: Death

Should do it.

i'm looking for an addon like SuperMacro that increases the max length a macro can have and also the total number of macros. does anyone knows such an addon? SuperMacro is really outdated. i took a look at capsule, but when i tried it, it removed all my macros (backups 4tw)

Humm, I'm looking for what seems a simple NS macro. I want to use NS + Healing Wave when I press the macro normally, and I want to use NS + Chain Lightning when I hold alt and press the macro.

I've tried this, but it didn't work:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Nature's Swiftness
/stopcasting
/cast [nomod] Healing Wave; [mod:alt] Chain Lightning

Any help?

You might want to remove the [nomod] before Nature's Swiftness. In it's current form it's impossible for your macro to both use Nature's Swiftness and Chain Lightning at the same time, because you have to have alt pressed to cast Chain Lightning, but your macro will not use Nature's Swiftness if you have alt pressed.

i dont know if this type of macro is out of the scope for this post, but i was curious if someone knows how to make a macro that would resize my chat frame to make room for recount. i had caith ui for a while and on that ui it could do that for omen, but i couldnt figure out how to make it do that for recount. help would be appreciated, if this macro is possible that is.

#showtooltip
/cast Nature's Swiftness
/stopcasting
/cast [modifier:alt] Chain Lightning
/cast Healing Wave

Should work.

Or

#showtooltip
/cast Nature's Swiftness
/cast [modifier:alt] Chain Lightning; Healing Wave

I was thinking today, man, I'd really like to have a macro that lets me chug a mana pot without dragging down the specific type from my bags. Unfortunetly, I tend to have several types of mana pots on me; crystal, super, combat, unstable, etc etc.

What I'd like to know is if there's some macro that will give me the effect of:

Use crystal mana pots first, then Supers. If I use a modifier, it will use unstable, then combat mana potions. (As in big mana pots if I click, little ones if I shift+click.)

I tried to explain that pretty clearly, but it may not completely be, hopefully you can figure it out better than I can.

/use [mod:shift] 28101
/use [mod:shift] 18841
/use 33935
/use 22832

Should work.

Uses unstable on shift held, combat pot if you dont have a unstable to use with shift down.
Uses crystal pot, or super when no cyrstal pot avaible.

So I use this as my sheep macro, is there anyway to make it only apply the raid icon and not remove it on a second click?

/focus [modifier:alt/ctrl/shift,harm] target; [target=focus,harm,exists,nodead] focus;
/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead,harm] Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle); Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle)
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("focus", 1);

• Chicken · 02/26/08, 8:22 AM

Try turning the /script line into:

/script if GetRaidTargetIndex("focus") ~= 1 then SetRaidTarget("focus", 1) end

Not sure if it'll still fit though.

I've been working on a little, handy Priest macro. It works like this:

1) It will cast Flash Heal on your current target while using the macro button.
2) It will cast Flash Heal on yourself if you hold down your Alt key (selfcast key in my case) while using the macro button when you have no target.
3) It will cast Binding Heal on your current target if you hold down your Alt key while using the macro button, if you have a friendly target.

It looks like this:

#showtooltip Flash Heal(Rank 9)
/cast [help, modifier:alt] Binding Heal; [help] Flash Heal(Rank 8); [target=player, modifier:alt] Flash Heal(Rank 9)

It works like a charm, but there is something I want to add to it, but I cant seem to get it right. Here are my problems:

1) If I actually target myself, it counts as a friendly target, so it will try to cast Binding Heal on myself. But casting Binding Heal on yourself isn't possible so you get the "mouse over glowing hand" cursor. In case I target myself (which rarely happens, cause normally I dont target myself to heal myself), I want it to just cast Flash Heal on myself while holding down Alt. PS) It does cast Flash Heal on myself when I target myself but don't hold Alt down.
2) If I have a hostile target, I want it to cast Flash Heal on the target's target while using the macro button.
3) If I have a hostile target, I want it to cast Binding Heal on the target's target while using Alt + Macro button.

I know this is probably a lot to put in one macro, and I dont even know if it's possible. But please tell me it is, and enlighten me

Ajuga · 02/28/08, 1:44 PM

I'll give it a shot:

#showtooltip Flash Heal(Rank 9)
/cast
[help, mod:alt] Binding Heal;
[help] Flash Heal(Rank 8);
[harm, target=targettarget, mod:alt] Binding Heal;
[harm, target=targettarget] Flash Heal(Rank 8);
[target=player, mod:alt] Flash Heal(Rank 9)

I don't think you can fix the problem you mention yourself; that when having yourself as target it'll cast Binding Heal. Edit: Perhaps sticking in an extra line after [help, mod:alt] Binding Heal; with Flash Heal instead of BH will do the trick. Seriously doubt it though.

Vidofnir · 02/28/08, 4:15 PM

/cast [help, mod:alt] Binding Heal;
/cast [help] Flash Heal(Rank 8);
/cast [harm, target=targettarget, mod:alt] Binding Heal;
/cast [harm, target=targettarget] Flash Heal(Rank 8);
/cast [target=player, mod:alt] Flash Heal

Everything works now, I even Flash Heal myself if I have myself targetted and use Alt + Macro button.

Except, the part with hostile target doesnt work. If i have a hostile target that has a friendly target, and I use the macro, nothing happens at all. Also if I have a hostile target with a friendly target and use Alt + Macro, nothing happens. So lines 3 and 4 in the macro have some error.
