Nope. As long as it's not instant (and possibly even if it is), since almost everything is calculated when the spell lands instead of when it begins casting, the weapons will have swapped before the cast completes, and will gain the benefits of the new stats.

Um, why not use two actionbar slots, one bound to 5 with just the normal ability, and the other bound to shift-f with a macro version to target the focus, i.e.

Is there anyway to announce that I have used an ability with a macro for that ability? I wanted to let my party know when I use Nature's swiftness, but a /p blah blah in the macro is pretty spammy, and if I hit it while NS is on cooldown (wishful thinking) it broadcasts wrong information.

Is it possible to make a purge macro to function like this:
Cast purge on my focus target if it exists, otherwise Purge on my target.
I couldn't find a way to make this. If you know about an addon that can make this it would be a great help as well.

Unfortunately it does not work. With aftercast you can do ony unprotected actions like emotes, chat messages and so on.
Displays a "Blizzard UI blocked this action" message.
So I think I should use 2 different macros with 2 hotkeys, or this:

Fendryl's post was no reply to your question if you look at the quote :P

but to solve your problem, try this one:

Thank You, that works fine.
And if I want to make my macro work like the opposite way (purge my target, if it has nothing to dispell try purging my focus target if it exists) I should change it to this:
Am I right?

Glad I came upon this thread, I like to say I am an amateur macro writer and I use this in raids as my focus macro sheep with the option of using alt to reassign my focus.

#showtooltip Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle)
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [modifier:alt]
/target focus
/focus [harm,exists,nodead] target
/targetlasttarget [harm]
/target [noexists] focus
/cast [target=focus,exists] Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle)

It may not be pretty, but it is what I use. my first question is.

1) Can this be cleaned up and
2) I really want to be able to cast random all my polys, but with what I have I run out of room adding the new info tot he macro, is there a way to do what I need done in this macro, but add in a castrandom ability to poly so I can just randomly have all my polys used.

Thanks.

I have seen a lot of posts from people that want to use click trinkets and abilites whenever the cooldowns are up and wanted to show what I use in a raid, because a) I hate missing cooldowns and b) I hate having to worry about missing cooldowns

#showtooltip Fireball
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 13
/use 14
/use Combustion
/use Icy Veins
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/use Fireball


This macro to me is very clean and I use it for my fireballs and have set up my frostbolts and arcane missles with similar ones.

It simply pops everything I have whenever the cooldown is up.

Just to make sure I get what you want it to do / what it does correct:

1. Clear focus if current focus is dead
2. Clear focus if alt is held
3. Target current focus (unneeded?)
4. Focus current target if it exists and isn't dead
5. Target your last target (unneeded?)
6. Target your focus if you don't have a target (unneeded?)
7. Cast polymorph on your target.

With that said, you can reduce the macro above to the following, as well as remove the unneeded targeting:

#showtooltip Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle)
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead][modifier:alt]
/focus [target=focus, noexists]
/cast [target=focus,exists] Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle)

Total length: 170

The above does:
1. Clears your focus if its dead or alt is held
2. Sets your focus to your current target if you do not have a focus
3. Casts polymorph on your current focus if it exists

If the functionality of targeting your focus if you have no target is still wanted you can simply add the line /target [exists] focus.


To make the macro cast a random poly you do:
#showtooltip Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle)
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead][modifier:alt]
/focus [target=focus, noexists]
/castrandom [target=focus,exists] Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle), Polymorph(Rank 1: Pig), Polymorph(Rank 4)

Total length: 219

Works like a charm, thanks ever so much for helping me out Marroc.
