    Why won't this Macro work? (hunter)

    Hey, I'm trying to get this macro to work:

    /cast [mod:ctrl] Freezing arrow
    /cast Volley

    But when I hit ctrl and the spell it still does volley, if I change freezing arrow with another spell then it will work.

    Any ideas?

    well I don't know anything about hunters, so does Freezing Arrow cause the GCD? if not there's your problem.

    A better way is this

    /cast [mod:ctrl] Freezing Arrow; Volley

    Definitely probably something worth checking into.

    If you have a [mod] condition, I believe you also need a [nomod] (or have it written like in the post above, which tells the macro to use Volley if there's no mod condition)
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age"

    both abilities got a "decide target" function?

    Just cuz they are bind to the same key dont mean that he will be using it at the same time.

    Why? I have the same thing bound to my mousewheel click, because they both require targeting.

    Cause some of us like to play with a compressed amount of keys to need to use and shift/ctrl and alt make that really easy to do..don't be bad :P

    Uh, I'm pretty sure hunters have more on-demand abilities than almost any other class, definitely more than 15. Unless you're bad, and don't use abilities such as tranq shot, deterrence, master's call, pet macros, disengage, e.t.c.

    No "drama" here, and I agree with you, I have volley and freezing arrow on separate keys, just saying we have a lot more than 15 max :P

    It was your know it all attitude that sets ppl off. Like if you don't do it that way then its dumb to consider.

    Learn some tact, cause your attitude makes your sound like a underage troll.
