Thanks in advance

No, that is not possible. The limitations of the macro system are quite severe, even if you can get around them by using the macro logic against them sometime (using a /cast Lightning Bolt /stopcasting macro as a Enhancement Shaman in order to use up a five-stacked Maelstrom Weapon for instance).

I'm a big fan of sacrificing my little dude to appease the DPS Gods and as I've not seen anyone post one as good as mine here it is:

#showtooltip Raise Dead
/cast [modifier:shift] Death Pact
/target pet
/cast Corpse Explosion
/targetlasttarget
/script if UnitIsDead("pet") then PetDismiss(); end
/cast [nopet] Raise Dead

Assign it to a button and spam! The script section gets rid of your dead Ghoul so you can summon again immediately.

In this case, it will still be activated by the user, but only on a modifier. It would be easier to make a macro which would cast BOTH deathchill and HB on a modifier; and without the modifier would only cast HB.

#showtooltip Howling Blast
/cancelaura Freezing Fog
/cast [mod:shift] Deathchill; [mod:shift] Howling Blast; [nomodifier] Howling Blast;

So holding shift+the keybind, deathchill will active as well as hb. If you see a km proc, you simply press the key without shift and hb will go unchanged.

Does this actually work? From my understanding of the macro system, as soon as it finds a valid condition, it performs that part of the macro then moves to the next line. So you would want:

#showtooltip Howling blast
/cancelaura Freezing Fog
/cast [mod:shift] Deathchill;
/cast Howling Blast

if Deathchill has no GCD, this will cast it if shift is pressed then cast howling blast either way. If deathchill has a GCD (I'm unholy and have never used it, sorry) then it wouldn't cast howling blast.

Is there anyone who uses a cast sequence macro for their rotations?

And if so could we get some of those posted?

I personally suck at writing macro's so i love all the work you guys put into these!

Tharvos · 02/13/09, 5:15 PM

I use a

/petpassive
/cast [target=Tharvos] Leap

macro in order to "evacuate" my pet whenever the raid has to move. But what i like to know is, whether something like this is possible somehow, or not:

/petpassive
/cast [target=Tharvos] Leap
/if Leap casted (or on cooldown) petstay

I "need" this, because sometimes the leap target is to far away from the ghoul, so he won't leap towards it and just stay where he is and die in a voidzone or flamewall because of this.

So i try to create a macro which i can spam, that recalls the pet (/petpassive) and as soon as the pet was able to leap to Mr.X he should switch into the petstay mode.
Is this somehow possible?

Petpassive orders your pet not to attack anything without an explicit petattack command. It doesn't force the pet to come to you. Use petfollow for that.

That won't work if you want it to move to another friendly target, of course, although I'm not really sure why that would be necessary.

Tharvos · 02/13/09, 6:35 PM

When you change the petmode to passive, it will "follow" automatically. That is the intention behind that, so that if the pet is out of leaprange to me, it will move towards me (while i keep spamming the button) and as soon as it is in range, the pet casts leap.
After that it should stay.

You run the risk of getting Runic starved at the wrong time by the previously mentioned macro for autocasting Rune Strike. I solved that by changing it to give me control over when I autocast

For example Icy Touch:

#showtooltip
/cast Icy Touch
/cast [nomodifier] !Rune Strike

The [nomodifier] lets you hold down shift, ctrl or alt and not autocast Rune Strike

Could you show me how to write a macro that would call Death Grip if it is off cool-down and call Dark Command if it's not?

Thank you.

You cannot macro this.

A simple macro to get a bigger heal from Death Pact as Blood.

/castsequence Raise Dead(Rank 1), Vampiric Blood, Death Pact

Ok my first post. Woot. I did macroing a lot pre BC and BC. And you could macro this easily.

Dark Command has 8 Sec CD So you can cast it only 4 times before Death Grip is back. Depending on which CD you want to show you change the spell in #showtooltip. You can also show both with a modifier like alt, shift, ctrl. Basicly this would look like this:

#showtooltip [mod:alt] Death Grip, Dark Command
/castsequence reset=35 Death Grip, Dark Command, Dark Command, Dark Command, Dark Command

Let's call /macro the command to execute your macro

/macro <casts death grip>
wait 30 seconds
/macro <casts dark command>
wait 30 seconds
/macro <casts dark command> oops!

Isn't it more like:

/macro <casts death grip>
wait 30 seconds
/macro <casts dark command>
wait 5 seconds
<macro cast sequence resets>
/macro <casts death grip>

After all that is the point of the reset command, is it not?

Thats what I thought apparently i have to many buttons to use currently to use macros

Castsequence changed so the timer resets to zero once you hit the castsequence button and the reset only functions if you are at the end of the sequence. Noit that what should come out of a timer, but well something to chew on. I like it

I may come up with something. Just gimme a bit time...
