Have a question for a shaman macro.

You know that shamans dps is lots higher when switched between flame and earthshock...
well i want to make macro which starts checking if target has a flame shock debuff (he'll have this if flame shock is already casted) if the flame shock debuff isn't there then cast flameshock. if debuff is there cast earthshock...
i just don't know the function to check the debuffs of a target.

so basicly it comes to this
if(target has debuff) cast earthshock
else cast flame shock

It´s no longer possible to do custom if - then conditions in macros or addons while in combat since... I think 2.0 or something. The only conditions that work are those specifically designed for macros. It´s not possible to make decisions based on your targets debuffs though.

Check the Macro Options part of Wowwiki: HowTo Make a Macro for more information.

the only thing you could do, would be a castsequence

/castsquence r=12 Flame Shock, Earth Shock

with a reset timer of 12 seconds (that's the duration of the flameshock debuff afair)

hope this helps

wow, you can use r for reset!

I would leave the reset out, cd on shocks is 6 seconds so a castsequence itself would work. Also, the reset starts the last time you hit the button, so it would reset 12 seconds after you ES.

Not 100% tested but this should do the trick:

/run local s,m=SendChatMessage, "Please help summon %t" if GetNumRaidMembers() > 0 then s(m, "RAID") elseif GetNumPartyMembers() > 0 then s(m, "PARTY") end

it's just to make sure that one will use flameshock again if earthshocking wasn't possible (due to aggro resets or something else^^) but the debuff fades.

and if one uses earthshock it will reset automatically so the r=12 is just for the no-es-problem...

Hey, last night a friend gave me a solution to a problem i've been plagued with since i start playing rogue...

One multiple mobs/aoe packs with low HP, you go out of energy fast and when you switch to the next target im stood waiting spamming my SS button until i have enough energy to start attacking, this is because i hate an "attack" button and i start the auto attack with SS...

however my friend told me to use the macro

/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike

its working fine for the moment, but before i raid with it i need to know... does the /startattack reset my swing timer? and if so is there a better way?

Hi, sorry if this is not the good thread to post this.

I use mouseover macros for all my healing spells. They work perfectly fine for raids/heroics/questing, but lately they sometimes stop working for a few minutes in arenas or bgs. I get the blue selection hand instead of a cast for my heals, and my Earth Shield just doesn't work. Usually a few minutes later the macros start working again. But I find it very annoying, especially during arena matches.

Has anybody experienced similar problems ? I don't know if the problem comes from my frames addons (I use Grid and Pitbull), or from my macros. And I have absolutely no idea why a problem like this would emerge only in arenas/bgs and never in raids.

Here's an example of macros I use, I don't see anything wrong with it:

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] Healing wave(Rank 8)


Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

It doesn't reset swing timer. A more "correct" version of /startattack would be /cast !Attack. But both should work.

I currently have a macro, that streches over 3 macroes - these are all triggered when I click the first macro, however, for doing this I need the addon Supermacro, which is outdated and heavily bugged.
I only use it because it allows me to use the command /Click MacroClick##
Now, is there any ways this can be done without this addon - I simply mean, is there any way to trigger another macro, from a macro? Or perhaps make a macro click on a special actionbar button?

Quoted from WoW Forums -> Cogwheel's Complete Macro Guide - READ 1ST! (post 6).
Simulating button clicks

The /click command takes the name of a button and acts like you clicked the button with your mouse. By default, it behaves like a left-click, but you can specify other mouse buttons in the command. There are a few ways to determine the name of the frame you're interested in:

- You can use an addon. Some addons, including MoveAnything, give you a way to see the name of the frame underneath your mouse.
- You can look through the UI code for the frame. This is really only applicable to people who are comfortable with addon programming.
- You can bind the following macro by a key and then run it while your mouse is over the frame in question:

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

/click can be used for many different purposes. You can chain together multiple macros by /click'ing buttons with other macros on them. For example, you might have a really long macro that doesn't fit into 255 characters. Put as much of it as you can in one macro and end it with the following line:

/click MultiBarRightButton1

The rest of the code would go into a new macro that you would then place on MultiBarRightButton1 (the first button of the right-hand vertical extra action bar).
I also recommend WoWInterface Downloads : Miscellaneous : MacroSequence. Eventhough it's main purpose is to do sequences (similar to /castsequence), it is also great for long macros or if you've run out of macro slots.

I haven't seen a macro for main assists to use that includes the raid icon (if there is one), so I'll share the one I wrote for my guild:

/run local c,n,f,s="Raid_WARNING",GetRaidTargetIndex("target"),SendChatMessage,{[1]='star',[2]='circle',[3]='diamond',[4]='triangle',[5]='moon',[6]='square',[7]='cross',[8]='skull'} if n then f("Kill: {"..s[n].."} %t", c) else f("Kill: %t", c) end
This macro is pretty close to the 255 character limit, so make sure not to add any newlines or spaces if you copy it into WoW. If anyone knows a simpler way to do this, share!
