Raise Dead won't work in a macro with DRW, they both trigger a global cooldown. I personally have Raise Dead in my Hysteria macro, and pop DRW after that, seperately. That way I can be using DRW more often without worry of hitting some other ability or potion prematurely, since it has a shorter cooldown. As for the engineering trigger, I'm assuming it's the hyperspeed accelerator tinker? I use the pyro rocket myself, which should work in that macro I *think*, but am not familiar with the mechanics around the hyperspeed being triggered, whether the trinket triggers a shared cooldown on them or what have you.

Hyperspeed Accelerators (pretty sure Pyro rockets too) share a linked cooldown with clickable trinkets (I think 10 seconds), so you can only use one or the other.

There must be something you are trying to say that i miss i suppose...
But if yuo have a reset=10 for example, the sequence will reset after ten seconds of the firt button press.
It does not matter how much you mash the button.

The REAL problem with his macro is that if you have such a macro and you press the button more often than the ability is ready for use, the result will be that the sequence goes to the start again before the death coil is ready.
Because when you step through the sequence to the end it starts from beginning again even if the time 35 is not reached.

The simple, dirty solution to this can be:

/castrandom Horn of winter, Icy Touch

#show Unbreakable Armor
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cancelaura Blood Tap
/cast Blood Tap
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Press it twice, when you have no F or D runes up. Prevents ugly bugs with Blood Tap.

I use this to distribute diseases

/castsequence reset=18/target icy touch, plague strike, pestilence, blood boil

using pestilence and BB are situational. I could just leave the macro at PS and let it reset itself.

I was wondering if it's possible to make a macro that spam Scourge Strike if I can't cast it will cast Blood Strike.

I had one macro to a druid that did +- this. (this is just to click on the same spot)

/cast Mangle - Bear(Rank 3)
/stopcast
/cast Maul(Rank 9)
/stopcast

You can spam a castrandom macro to do this, but it will hurt your damage and is not recommended. Your druid macro worked because maul doesn't consume a GCD.

/cast [modifier:shift]frost strike; death coil

Should work.

Hi, I would link to expose my 2 macros and, if possible, start a discussion about them.

I'm a Blood DPS DK (51/0/20) at 3.2.

Since the 3.2 patch I was Using 2 self cooked macros:

Plague-o-matic macro:
Very usefull for me, it is still working. I spam it until I got the 2 plagues up. It resets every 10 seconds and can be forced to reset with shift pressed. The last "nothingg" spell is to prevent it to loop. What do you think?

Spam-do-DPS macro: deprecated
(Note: This macro is spammable, but I don't use it to play spamming, just use it to spam while moving or in other circunstances that I cannot focus in rotation (I think its better than do nothing)).
So the macro is like a castsequence but does a random, if some cast is in cooldown it will "skip" it on the next click of the macro (if lucky, because it is a random). As you can see, there are 2xHS to allow it to have more possibilities to be casted.
Update: CastRandom has been rewrited by Blizzard at 3.2 so now it doesn't "skip" any cast. So this second macro is not working anymore.

Well, sorry for my english, and thank you very much for your time
Rukan

I used to use a macro that would: "castrandom bone shield, horn of winter." With almost everything keybound, my extra keys are tight, and I found this was a good way to conserve space.

However since the patch, cast random won't skip a spell, so it will sometimes get locked on bone shield with a 2 minute cooldown and lock my Horn of Winter out for two minutes.

I was wondering if a castsequence; reset still works and I could do something like this

#showtooltip Bone Shield
/castsequence reset=3 Bone Shield, Horn of Winter
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()


If that doesn't work, does anyone else have any ideas? Thank you.

#showtooltip Heart Strike
/cast Heart Strike
/cast Blood Tap

Hello, this is one of the nice macros I wrote for a blood Death-knight in the current guild I am in.

The words with < > around them mean to replace them with whatever is inside them.

Since trinkets do not generate a GCD and same with Dancing rune weapon it will work with Hysteria. ( I am not sure if Hysteria will, I haven't tested. )

-I also know that you can cut the macro down so that it is shorter in lengths with a few different commands.

This macro is what use, due to myself being a lazy person. Made it myself, and I just cant seem to do much, if not all better damage with out it.

Requirements for this macro:
-Frost strike
-Glyph of Frost Strike
-Glyph of Icy Touch
-Blood of the North
-Epidemic
-Chill of the Grave
-Hit capped
-Expertise capped

The Macro:

/castsequence reset=combat/target Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Obliterate, Blood Strike, Blood Strike, Frost Strike, Frost Strike, Obliterate, Obliterate, Frost Strike, Obliterate, Frost Strike

Notes:
-This is only good for those single target boring fights where you would much rather be looking elsewhere in the room or feel like watching your television. (Patchwerk)
-It obliterates / blood strikes at perfect times, exactly when they pop up.
-It may seem, not right?, the first time through the sequence. But in a longer fight, or anything past the first time, it works smoothly
-After about 8-10 cycles through, throw in 1 manual frost strike at the end of the cycle, just before it icytouches again.
-After every cycle it ends up with 4 or 5 extra runic power, this is why I suggest the manual frost strike

Hello,

/castsequence reset=target/dead Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Plague Strike

/castsequence reset=3/target/dead Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Plague Strike



I set these macros for applying diseases. Does anyone know why it casts Icy Touch 2 times before Plague Strike, despite the cast sequence?
This always occurs when 2 Frost are available. However, when there is only 1 Frost rune up, it casts just as the macro entails - IT, PS

Otherwise, its always IT, IT (both frost runes expended) then PS.

Note: IT x2 is on a single target, before PS (no switching/no death).


-Thanks

here is my macro which i use on vezax & co.
It yells "Kick!" if my Mind Freeze CD 's up and cast it at the same time and if my Minde Freeze 's CD isn't up then do nothing.

I made a macro to make clicking unbreakable armor and my trinkets a bit less clicky. Sadly it doesn't seem to work.

I tried

/cast unbreakable armor
/cast vengeance of the forsaken
/cast mark of supremacy

The first time I click when nothing is on cool down it cast the first two and gives the error the other is not available. Which is fine. I know they lock each other out.

When I wait the 60 seconds for UA to cycle and click it I just get UA. It doesn't activate the second trinket.

How can I write the macro so that it trades off casting the two trinkets? They each have a two min cool down and lock each other out. So even just trying to cast them both each time would work.

For the trinket macro, replace you /cast <trinket> by:
/use 13
/use 14

You don't have to use numbers 13 and 14, those are the gear slots numbers for easy reference.

What you need for usable items is /use instad of /cast

Just wanted to put this myth / misinformation to rest. What the poster said in quote is not accurate. Hyperspeed Accelerators and other engineering "clickables" only share 10 second cooldown amongst themselves - as in, only the engineer specific cooldown. This was done to prevent huge burst chain combo in arenas, which were FOTM back then with the engineering trinket + pryo rockets, after they were buffed in stats.

This means that other clickable trinkets that's not the engineering trinket do NOT share CD with hyperspeed accelerator - though only one worth mentioning is wrathstone, its still relevant.

I found it took too much time to cast Hysteria on myself so I created a macro. Pretty easy to see what it does. Makes it so you don't have to worry about losing your target either. Setting and clearing the focus happens really fast too so you don't even notice it.

/cast [target=player] Hysteria

I think that would be much easier like that ^^

alternatively you can activate the auto self-cast or an alternative key for self-cast, those two options are in the interface/combat menu.
