    Aura Mastery Macro

    Hi Paladins,

    Im looking for help in this as Im changing my auras during the fight and many times happen that I pop up the Aura Mastery but my Concentration Aura is not active - and so Im vulnerable to silences and interupts. As Aura mastery is not on global cooldown I wanted to make a macro like:

    /cast Aura Mastery
    /cast Concentration Aura

    This works fine when I have other auras active however when I have Concentration Aura active it will turn it off.

    I have tried this:

    /cancelaura Concentration Aura
    /cast Aura Mastery
    /cast Concentration Aura

    This cancels the Concentration Aura and starts Aura Mastery however the last part just dont work....

    Anyone knows how to do this properly with one button press/click?

    maybe try it with /castsequence. you have to click more then once thought.

    something like

    /cancelaura concentration aura
    /castsequence Aura Mastery, Concenctration Aura

    dont know if this is the right text for the macro. im no macro expert

    cancels and reapplies. perfect macro for a druid is to use those to instantly remove snares and return to w/e shape you were in

    Ur macro wont work, because both cancelling and reaplying the aura takes a GCD.
    Ok im new to hotkeying so im most likely doing something wrong.

    I can hotkey alt to anything but the function keys. I can do alt+f1, f2, f3 but when i get to f4 it crashes my game EVERY TIME! Its annoying because I have to reset all my hotkeys cuz a game crash doesnt save them. Please fix soon!

    Cancelling an aura/buff has NEVER activated a global cooldown. Ever.

    Best way is to get used to it, otherwise with this macro you'll likely have times where you want to use it on a resistance aura or crusader aura and won't be able to

    I personally have PowerAuras to tell me which aura I'm in, although i can usually remember anyway

    I think u misunderstood me, what i mean is that it takes a GCD, but only on the auras. You cant switch to Frost, and then instantly back to Conc..

    The newest version of PallyPower has this built-in as well.

    But like Xs said, just get used to it. It's like trying to macro DS and DS/G together with one button because you're lazy : /

    Switching auras takes a GCD. Removing them doesn't I believe.

    So I have tried this yesterday:

    /cast Aura Mastery
    /cast !Concentration Aura

    And it works wonderfull if you have ConcAura up. It casts Aura Mastery and cancel+reaply ConcAura.

    I have been surprised when I tried to do it while any other Aura was up. For example I had CrusaderAura activated and pressed the macro button. I casted Aura Mastery however doesnt switch to ConcAura - strange...
