Hey I was wondering if anybody knows how to create a left click (/petdefensive /petattack), right click (/petpassive /petfollow) macro? I'm by no means a macro writer, but the closest I came up with is a simple 2 button system doing the above...

/petattack [btn:2]
/stopmacro [btn:2]
/petpassive

is what you're looking for

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus, help] Misdirection
/cast [target=focustarget, help] Misdirection
/cast [target=target, help] Misdirection
/cast [target=targettarget, help] Misdirection
/cast [target=pet, nodead, exists] Misdirection
This should MD to your focus, your focus's target if it's hostile, your target if you don't have a focus, your target's target if you have a hostile targeted, or your pet if you don't have a target.

What is the logic behind the "help" in the target modifier for the first 4 lines of this macro? Does is it give you the focus's target as your target if you have no target?

It is a conditional. It is true if the unit is friendly. In this context it prevents MD from being cast if focus, focustarget, target, or targettarget are hostile creatures, thus moving on to the next line of the macro, eventually seeing if the pet is alive & summoned and MDs that.

As has been stated before, that can be reduced to

/cast [target=focus,help] [target=focustarget,help] [target=target,help] [target=targettarget,help] [target=pet,nodead,exists] Misdirection
if you also want to do other things in the macro

I have a macro with I came up with all by myself, and I am very proud of my ingenuity. What it does is that is tries to shoot a Tranq Shot at my mouseover, if I have one, and if I don't it tranqs my target. It's not very advanced, but I find it very helpful for fights such as Sarth (with his enraged adds).

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, harm, nodead]Tranquilizing Shot
/cast Tranquilizing Shot



Also, I require assistance with another one of my macros. I have the [Wrathstone], and I'm an orc. So I figured that it would be sweet to macro these two together. At first I used a simple /cast Blood Fury; /use Wrathstone, but I wasn't completely satisfied with that, and tried to add a condition to the /use line. I know that I can use a equipped condition, but I cannot make it search for specific names. /use [equipped:Wrathstone]Wrathstone doesn't work, can anyone give me a hand?

Could this macro be modified by placing "/cast [target=target, help] Misdirection" before "/cast [target=focus, help] Misdirection" and basically use it as the basic misdirection button unless you have a friendly focus? Would this allow me to focus my Main Tank for MD and still be able to target the OT and MD him in one button? It is frustrating using 2 or 3 slots in my action bars for MD.

The only shot that works with the kind of macro you posted Koralath is Silencing Shot for MM since it's off the GCD as kill was before. Since it's a dps increase whatever you do I know a hunter who macroed it into each of his shots in his MM spec, i.e. /cast Silencing Shot /cast Chimera Sting - /cast Silencing Shot /cast Aimed Shot, etc etc so he would shoot it whenever it's up and not be in danger of forgetting. I personally prefer to have it separetly so it's more of a "choice", since there are quite a few adds in Ulduar where Silencing helps a treat (i.e to interrupt Yogg's P1 adds halfway to Sara when they're casting Shadow Bolt Volley at low health)

Tracking macro

Anyone know of a tracking macro that when i cast either hunters mark or a shot i will put up the appropriate track??

Also since the new patch release is it still possible to use kill shot and steady shot in the same macro? since they are on the same gcd?

As of 3.0.8, if you have survival instincts then as long as you're tracking a target that is covered by SI it doesn't matter whether or not your current class matches the tracked class, you still get the % dmg increase so there's no need to change tracking types with a macro

An no, as easily 6-10 posts in this thread have said, it is not possible to execute both kill shot & steady shot in the same macro

There's nothing like the condition you specified. Macros cannot check to see what you are equipped with specifically, only that you have a certain type of item equipped. You can however use one of the following:

/use 13
or
/use 14

To use whatever trinket is in the top or bottom slots. If you're not wearing a useable trinket, you'll just get an error. But, that's just the same as /use Wrathstone.

Before 3.1 i used this macro to handle my KS

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/cast Kill Shot
/cast Steady Shot

but once the patch went live it just stoped working. So anyone knows if theres a way to fix it? the intention its just a SS that priorizes on KS when avaliable.

Would it be a bad idea to write "NO YOUR KILL SHOT MACRO WONT WORK AFTER 3.1" in large bold letters in the first post? It would prevent so many warnings.

Can macros check if the target is in melee or ranged? If so, then how would I make a macro to cast concussive shot at ranged and wing clip if in melee?

To go further, no addon can do that any more. The same changes (back in 2.2/3) that made the original Decursive no longer work, made all such automated skill selections impossible. Blizzard requires a human brain to be in charge; anything that circumvents that is a violation of the ToC.

You can, however, use /cast along with the item name to use the item if it is equipped. It will give an error message if it isn't, but it won't equip the item if, say, you click the macro outside of combat. The problem with using numeric slots is if you swap trinkets (say, you equip your pvp trinket like you would for Archimonde), you can trigger the wrong ability and put it on cooldown at a very bad time.

/cast Wrathstone

etc.

This could be what I'm looking for. Thank you. How come you can issue a /cast command with an item?

You can "use" a spell, too. /cast and /use are just two commands for the same action, iirc.
