Frostbolt Macro Problem

[TyralisUH]

I'm playing Frost in both PVE and PVP ( Yes I raid as frost ). In arenas , I use a frostbolt macro so my Water Elemental start attacking my target , without putting him on Defensive. By doing this , My water elemental stays on Passive and only attacks my target so my Sheeps don't break. Here's the macro :

#showtooltip
/cast Frostbolt
/cast [@target] Waterbolt
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

It works perfectly in PVP. Somehow , with my PVe spec , my Water Elemental is doing nothing. He stays on passive and doesn't attack at all. My pet's Waterbolt is the same spell as in pvp spec. The only thing is that my PVE spec got Eternal Water glyph ( Eternal water elemental with no frost nova ) but I don't think It's the problem. Can someone help me out ?


BTW , I use /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() because I hate red error messages in my screen : /

This is like the "is it plugged in?" technical assistance question:

did you put the macro on your PVE spec action bar?

Otherwise it should work... If not, maybe put him on defensive (shouldn't really be sheeping much in pve, so no harm in doing this)?

Not that I think it will solve your problem, but [@target] is futile to put there it's default behavior.

its coz if you SPAM a macro with /cast Waterbolt your water element will start to cast a frostbolt and when you spamm the macro it will recast a frostbolt. So if you spam the macro the water element will keep trying it cast and recast.

Hope you understand. my english sucks ><

I think this is probably it.

try /use Waterbolt instead of /cast

and as said before, [@target] isnt really necessary

[Kuni Zyrekai]

Yeah, try /use instead. I'm running:

#showtooltip
/cast Frostbolt
/use Waterbolt

And I don't have any issue with him trying to restart casts or not cast at all.

^^This, didn't see it before since I was at work, but /use instead of /cast should work (at least that's my macro)

There isn't a simliar one for mirror images, is there? I know thay don't have a pet bar, but my rogue keeps telling me that they're breaking his blind.

Mirrors are useless. Don't use them if your partner isn't dead.

This is so wrong.. Mirror images are insanely useful

And to answer the previous question the way you can change the target of your mirror images is if you have your water element up as well.. Press passive on your water element pet bar and then on the pet bar again press attack on the target you want your mirror images to switch too. It's not ideal but it's the only way atm

or /petattack [@target] but i wouldnt put this into a frostbolt macro since you will run into the same problem as before by clipping your elementals waterbolt

Yeah, breaking CC is SO USEFUL. Alright, they aren't useless, but 90% of the time they fuck things up more than they help. You can time them to not break your own CC, it's quite a bit different with other people's.
