There is an addon that will add a new command for you, /mount and /mountrandom (as well as versions for vanity pets) - I assume it was wrote due to this change.

Userandom still works. You might have to redo it though if you are using the same old macro because the names of the mounts have changed slightly in some cases. As have some of the names of the non-combat pets if you used a macro for those as well.

/dismount

This macro doesn't seem to work anymore with the 3.0 patch : it switches to Crusader Aura but doesn't cast your mount.
The dismount part with concentration aura works yet.

I've specced for heroic fury and now I'm racking my brain on how to incorporate it in my epic charge/intercept/intervene macro. Right now the macro is very natural - if target is in my group intervene or defensive stance, if out of combat charge or battle stance, else intercept or zerker stance. Just recreating it sort of looks like this:

/cast [group,stance:1] Intervene; [group] Defensive Stance; 
[harm,nocombat,stance:0] Charge; [harm,nocombat] Battle Stance; 
[harm,stance:2] Intercept; [harm] Berserker Stance

What I'm hoping to do is cast heroic fury if and only if I had just intercepted. Stances and charge/intercept/intervene are off GCD and heroic fury is on, so it's at least theoretically possible to put them on the same button press even, but the more I think about it the more I come to conclusion that I'll have to have a separate button for it. I thought about just adding /cast [intercept conditions] heroic fury after the original macro but that would burn it every time I use the macro to just go to zerker stance - that is I'm in combat but in deadzone so can't intercept - this happens every time I charge. What I'd really like to do is at the point of my macro where I actually intercept which is ...; [harm,stance:2] Intercept;... splice in a /castsequence [reset=30] Intercept, Heroic Fury - but I don't know if that's possible. It would make it two button presses, I don't mind that as long as it will burn heroic fury if and only if intercept was successful.

The mount + crusader aura macros won't work anymore because all mounts are on GCD. Best you can do is cast sequence and then press the same button again for crusader aura after the mount gcd has finished.

EDIT2:

So after googling for stuff I'm now thinking whether something like this will work:

/castsequence [combat,harm,stance:2] reset=30 Intercept, Heroic Fury
/stopmacro [combat,harm,stance:2]
<rest of my macro minus the intercept part>

Some of the mounts don't work properly if you've just learned the mount for the first time. A simple logout/login fixes it, then you should be able to do things like

/use Red Hawkstrider
/cast Summon Charger

Ok this macro works well for me, thanks :

/cast [mounted] !Concentration Aura;
/castsequence reset=5 [nocombat, nomounted, noflyable] !Crusader Aura, Amani War Bear;
/castsequence reset=5 [nocombat, nomounted, flyable] !Crusader Aura, Red Riding Nether Ray;
/dismount [mounted]

Soon auras will be off of GCD, /cheer !

I had been using the following focus target polymorph macro for raiding in BC. This macro was great because it allowed me to mark a focus target and polymorph it and then move on to the kill target. When my polymorph on my focus target is about to break, I can simply recast my macro and the focus target is polymorphed again, while I still have my kill target in my sights for dpsing. Part of getting this polymorph macro to work required the mod FocusFrames, but since patch 3.02 has added Blizzard's new focus frame mechanic, the old macro no longer works. I am not a macro master, so if any mage out there has figured out how to modify this macro so that it works with the current patch, I would be eternally grateful for that knowledge being shared. Here is the old macro that is apparantly broken with the new patch:

#showtooltip
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 1)
/cast [target=focus]Polymorph
/stopmacro [nogroup]

I'm a holy paladin and I've just starting using this tool tip macro

#showtooltip
/cast[mod,target=player][target=mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][nogroup,target=player][target=targettaget,help,nodead]Flash of Light

I want to add a command to this macro so when my courser is over nothing tt heals Me (selfcast) any suggestions? be easy this is my first post and I'm not a macro expert.

You can just add [target=player] as the last conditional.

If the macro you posted does everything you want but heal you, then I think the following would do for you:

#showtooltip
/cast[mod,target=player][target=mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][nogroup,target=player][target=targettaget,help,nodead][target=player] Flash of Light

Sooo, turns out you could technically fly in Dalaran, you just can't because it's a no fly zone.

That means that my otherwise very useful macro doesn't work there:

#showtooltip [flyable]Cenarion War Hippogryph; Armored Brown Bear
/cast [flyable]Cenarion War Hippogryph; Armored Brown Bear

It wants to pick the Hippogryph since it's outdoors in Northrend, but I get a "You can't use that here" error because the Dalaran government doesn't want us to fly. Is there any way around this?

Kino59 · 11/17/08, 9:00 AM

I think you should make a macro using the "noflyable" condition :

#showtooltip [noflyable]Armored Brown Bear; Cenarion War Hippogryph; 
/cast [noflyable]Armored Brown Bear; Cenarion War Hippogryph

Like that, if the area is tagged nonflyable, it'll cast ground mount, else, it'll cast flyable mount.

I didn't try this one, but I'll do this latter. Or let me know if it works or not !

Xelopheris · 11/17/08, 9:25 AM

That won't work, Kino59. Dalaran, for macro purposes, is flyable. A mechanic in the game dismounts if you're on a flying mount otherwise.

Option 2: Use right-click for forced ground mount

#showtooltip
/cast [noflyable][button:2] Armored Brown Bear; Cennarion War Hippogryph

Dorrinal · 11/17/08, 6:46 PM

Another option is to use a modifier key. This is my preferred solution because I use a keybind for my mount because I mount often, and before having the epic flying mount in Outland I still wanted to use my ground mount most of the time. Just hold Ctrl, Alt or Shift when you are in a flyable zone and you get your bear.

/cast [flyable, nomod] Cenarion War Hippogryph; Armored Brown Bear

A mount macro that works in Dalaran

/run if IsMounted() then Dismount() return end local t if IsFlyableArea() and not IsShiftKeyDown() and (GetZoneText()~="Dalaran" or GetMinimapZoneText()=="Krasus' Landing") then t={3} else t={1,2,4,5,6} end CallCompanion("MOUNT",t[random(#t)])

The numbers refer to the positions of your mounts in your pet tab (here I'm randomly selecting from five ground mounts, and only using one flying mount).

Unfortunately, the macro is too long when I add the tooltip line.

What does the "and not IsShiftKeyDown()" do and is it necessary for the macro to work? I have my mount macro on shift+d.
