Ask it! Macro Edition

First:

/use [nomod:ctrl]Maul
/use Mangle(Bear)

Won't work

/cast [nomod:ctrl]Maul
/cast Mangle

Should though

/cast Mangle
/stopmacro [mod:ctrl]
/cast Maul

Should definitely work if the above doesn't (and is a little easier to understand).

[lawomous]

In other words

#showtooltip
/cast Mangle
/cast [nomod:ctrl]Maul

[Larwood]

What about just:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:ctrl]Mangle; Maul

That won't cast both on no ctrl.

[Deleted]

Ah, yeah. I, as always, didn't read the thread and forgot that Maul was off the GCD.

[Myzou]

The first one I linked that the official forums gave worked. Just with a tweak to a name.

It's Mangle(Bear Form), for future reference

But thanks for all the help The macro is working great. :3 Though... because of it, I discovered a bug, that I must now report, rofl.

Holy Light macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover] holy light; [@target, help] holy light; [] holy light

have tried this in game, and only the mouseover part works.

hoping to have it cast on my mouseover first
i want it to cast on my target if i have no mouseover
if i have no mouseover or target i want it to cast on myself

any replies would be appreciated. thanks


edit: nvm, figured out where i went wrong, needed to add ",exists" after @mouseover

[lawomous]

Cut it down a lot

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][]Holy Light

Hey, I need a macro that will cast the followning:

Backstab
Feint (When up)

I know it's simple, I'm just a retard. Thank you very much.

[lawomous]

Feint is on the GCD so it has to be binded separately.

[Gracin]

Alright so I'm using

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help] Chain Heal; [help] Chain Heal; Chain Heal

As my mouseover macro swapping in which heal I need and it works perfectly fine. However when I swap Earth Shield in all it does is selfcast Earth Shield on me instead of my mouseover target. I have to hard target a player for it to cast Earth Shield on another player.

I recently wrote a macro for my shaman which prioritises mouseovers which will purge/cleanse enemies/allies (also works just targeting one of either with no mouseover) and when i hold down alt cleanses myself. The problem i've encountered is that when mousing over gladius frames it won't purge the person im hovering over (just resorts to @target commands). I'm not at home right now so can't paste the macro in but i thought it might be a known issue with certain addons so i'd ask here. If not then i'll post my macro when i can.

If it is just a known issue and nothing will work i was wondering if there were commands for moving the standard blizzard ui enemy arena team frames (the small ones top right near minimap) which i could then just reposition and not bother with gladius.

Thanks in advance. :~)

[lawomous]

The Gladius arena enemy frame has it's own special bindings as well with Leftclick\Rightclick\etc but as long as you have something like this binded separately it should work fine.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player]Cleanse Spirit;[@mouseover,harm,nodead][harm]Purge;[@mouseover,help][]Cleanse Spirit

[Gracin]

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][]Chain Heal

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][]Earth Shield

Thank you for shortening the macro, but it's still casting Earth Shield on me instead of my mouseover target. It will only cast earth shield on a target if I hard target them.

[lawomous]

I'm thinking the problem is that you're using mouseover macros incorrectly and clicking Earth Shield, because I just tested the macro I gave you and it works beautiful.

Have it bound to a key like 1...2..3... etc, then have your mouse over someone's body or unitframe if they are in your party and hit the keybind for the skill do not click it or that defeats the purpose of mouseover.

I have it bound to num1 on my razer naga, I mouse over a target hit it and it cast's on me instead of the moused over person.

[Deleted]

What unit frames are you using it with?

[Gracin]

Tukui. Every other mouse over macro I have works fine with it, just seems that earth shield is the problem.

Edit: I just turned of Tukui and it's still not casting on the mouseover.

[lawomous]

You 100% sure that you're pulling the macro from your macro book and not using the unmacroed skill?
