You can use that macro with a littlie exception, that you can't use paladin summon spell for it to work due to GCD.
/cast [nocombat, nomounted] !Crusader Aura; [mounted] !Concentration Aura;
/cast [flyable, nocombat, nomounted] Swift Purple Windrider; [nocombat, nomounted] Blue Hawkstrider;
/dismount

Power Word Shield & Mass Dispel

Hi,

I am trying to put together a macro that will first cast Power Word Shield then do a Mass Dispel.

This is to counter the knock back effect from damage ticks, while trying to Mass Dispell on Felmyst.

This is where I'm at, at the moment.
#showtooltip Mass Dispel
/stopcasting 
/castsequence Power Word: Shield(Rank 12), Mass Dispel
As it is, it will PWS, then on second press it will give me the targeting circle for the MD.
Where it fails is, it will not reset if unless I cast the dispel.
And it will also hang until PWS debuff comes off CD, unable to cast MD. Which could leaving me without the ability to dispel my group.
To counter this, I would like to use a Shift Modifier, so if I hold Shift and press the key bind, it will override the PWS and let me do a Mass Dispel. Basicly, no matter what, hold shit and I can cast Mass Dispel.

I've messed about a few times with macro & modifiers, but am having no joy getting it to work.

Anyone have a similar macro that works, or can fill in the blanks to get this one working as intended?

Thanks.

Doesn't seem to work.

Any thoughts?
Holy Shock and Consecration both use the GCD, so you can't cast both within the same macro.

Try this instead:

/cast Divine Favor
/cast [target=target, nodead, harm] Holy Shock; [target=mouseover, noexist, help] Holy Shock
This will cast a critical Holy Shock against a living enemy if you have one targeted, or a moused-over living friendly if you do not have a living enemy targeted.

Try something like this:

[code]
#showtooltip Mass Dispel
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=4 Power Word: Shield, Mass Dispel, Mass Dispel, Mass Dispel

Thanks for the reply, I have made one I like now that seems to do exactly what I'm after.

If I Hold a modifier key down and use it I get the Dispel no matter what.

If I just press the macro once I get PWS, second press I get MD.

#showtooltip Mass Dispel
/stopcasting
/castsequence [nomodifier] Power Word: Shield(Rank 12), !Mass Dispel
/cast [modifier] !Mass Dispel

I've another one

I'm trying to get a macro done to swap weapons.

The swapping's fine, but I would like the Icon to show the equipped weapon. Is that possible?

Is this the show line?

/run local f=GetMouseFocus(); if f then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(f:GetName()) end

No, that will give you the name of the frame your mouse is currently hovering over.

Just select the question mark icon when you name your macro and choose a symbol. It will automatically show the current equipped weapon.

I think that will show the weapon which the macro would switch to if pressed.

I use this, which works perfectly:

#show Attack

Almost.
#show Attack
/equipslot 16/17 [yourweaponhere]
/equipslot 16/17 [yourweapon2here]


16 is your main hand slot and 17 is your offhand.
My macro is written that whay, because equip with a one-hand weapon will put it always in main hand slot.

edit: of course you use only one number in the macro not both
edit2: also works with 2-hand

Does it works the same with 2h?

(by the way, thx)

nvm post. it does.

And if I do the same for a Hunter, say... it would be :

#show Shoot
/equipslot 18 [whateverWeapon]
/equipslot 18 [whateverWeapon2] ?

Sure, why shouldn't it.
But for ranged weapons, /equip is enough because this will equip the item to the standard item slot and since you only have one, there is no need to specify it.

I've actually made a mistake, 13 and 14 are top and bottom trinket slot. 16 and 17 are the correct mainhand/offhand IDs.

See here for a list: Inventory Slot IDs

Sorry about that.

/Focus macro

Hi!

I've been trying to make a macro involving focus which does the following:

1. if shift held, /focus target
2. If my current target is NOT the focused one; target focus
3. if target IS the focused one; target last target

Now, I thought this would be quite an easy macro to make, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've tried something like this:

/focus [modifier:shift]
/stopmacro [modifier:shift]
/target [target=nofocus] focus
/targetlasttarget [target=focus]

I think what's wrong is the "[target=focus]", but I don't really know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Your conditions #2 and #3 are almost mutually exclusive since they'll put it in a loop basically, and youll just keep swapping targets over and over again. Seem kind of counterproductive to begin with in any case.

I use something similar-ish on my shaman alt for my earthshock macro, you may wanna give this a try (and mod it to your needs)

#showtooltip
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [modifier:alt,target=target]
/stopmacro [modifier:alt]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/cast [target=focus,exists,nohelp,nodead,modifier:ctrl] Earth Shock(Rank 1); Earth Shock

Alt to force focus on current target, Ctrl to downrank to ES Rank and cast on focus, else use max rank on current target.
If focus is dead or inexistent, clear focus. Then automatically set current target to focus if no modifiers are pressed.

Btw, your /targetlasttarget [target=focus] line is kind of useless, targetlasttarget will operate without modifiers, and in that case the bracketed part has no bearing whatsoever since it has no conditions. [target=focus,noexists] would work, it would only execute targetlasttarget when your focus isn't set (which would make sense ... I guess.) I'm not exactly sure how to compare current target to focus target - that's the function you need, i.e. "if target = focus then do XYZ". However, [target=focus] doesn't do that, it just uses any conditions you give it on your focus target regardless of whether you have a target or not, and regardless of whether focus and current target are the same or not.

Thanks for at least trying to help :P. Yes, I'm looking for the "if target = focus then do XYZ". Does anyone know how to make such a condition, or maybe another way to get what I want to work?

EDIT: Having researched a bit more, I don't think it's possible. Ah well, I guess I'll have to go with the switch between target and focus macro. :p

Hi i need help with making a macro.
I need to restart my macro every 10 seconds .
Something like :

/castsequence ?restart?=10 chimera shot , steady shot , steasy shot , steady shot , steady shot , stteady shot
the thing is when i get temporary haste effects(Dragonspine Trophy , Bloodlust/Heroism , Improved Aspect of the Hawk ) i can cast 5 Stedy shot , normally only 4 steadies . Because i want to cast the Chimera shot on cooldown i need the ?restart? command, so i can just spam the macro

So is there any ?restart? command if anyone knows please advise me

Thanks for any help/sugesstions

Substitute "reset" for ?restart? (no quotes) and you should be good. Incidentally, "/castsequence reset=10 chimera shot, steady shot" should do the same thing with less repetition and less chance of typos.

no reset=10 command is that the macro will reset - start from beginning when you do not press the macro for 10 sec, so that is absolutely something else

with ?restart? i ment that i do not know any command like that and i am looking for that :p

There is no command to force a macro restart a certain time after you first pressed it. You're stuck with the reset command, which resets the macro a certain time after you last pressed it.

I'm going to ask a question that I'm almost certain I know the answer to, and the reasons behind it it - but here goes anyway.

Is there a way to set a variable (i.e. t=focus,mouseover) in /run and then use that variable in /cast (i.e. /cast [target=t]?

I'm almost certain the there would be great potential for abuse in this (all I'm trying to do is get below 255 chars on a macro I really want to use). And so I expect the answer to be NO!

Thanks anyway :/.

/shakes fist at 255 character limit!
