Is it possible to have a mind blast/mind spike macro that will cast MB if is off cd and Mind Spiike when it's on cd?

Macros can't make decisions based on spell availability like that, no.

/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists][] Power Word: Shield

Where do I throw in a mod:shift for another spell?

[Rarch]

/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists][] Power Word: Shield

You can add it right above your current text.

/cast [mod:shift] Other Spell
/cast [@mouseoevr,help,nodead][] Power Word: Shield

You don't need exists in there, as it's implied already, but you can add nodead if you want to prevent it from trying to cast on dead targets.

Depending on what your other spell is and how you're looking to cast it, you can also make it act the same way with the mouseover target, by making the line '/cast [mod:shift, @mouseover, help, nodead][mod:shift] Other Spell' instead.

Tank your Rarch, worked like a charm.

Hey there,

looking for a macro with the following functionality: if targeting [harm], cast spell A @target. If targeting [help], cast spell A @targettarget.

€.: Something like: /cast [@target,harm,exists] A; [@targettarget] A ?

Isca

What you posted should work. @target is not required, because it's implied by default. If your target is not [harm] but you have a target (otherwise @targettarget wouldn't exist), then that target has to be [help] anyway.

Shortened version because you don't need to specify the spell twice:

/cast [harm,exists][@targettarget]A

Can anyone help me with a mage talent macro? Trying to set up my level 100 talent choices (Prismatic Crystal & Comet Storm) on a one button macro so I don't have to pull them out of spellbook whenever I swap them around. My weak attempt of

#showtooltip 
/cast Comet Storm
/cast Prismatic Crystal

works for either choice, but won't show the tooltip for whatever spell is listed second. I know on my monk I was able to use a filler spell for the level 30 talent choice (Chi Shaping - it turns into whatever talent you pick on that tier), but I don't know if that's set up for the mage talents. Any help?

Also, one for the Rune of Power/Mirror Images choice would rock, if this is possible.

Unfortunately, there's no such consolidated talent available for talent tiers that have a passive option, as the mage 90 and 100 tiers do.

The only ones available for mages are Freezing Grasp for the level 45 tier and Mage Bomb for the level 75 tier.

What shanthi said, but you can at least use the talent conditional to get what you want, like so:

#showtooltip
/use [talent:7/3]Comet Storm;Prismatic Crystal

Edit: And here's a list of the consolidated talent things.

[Well]

I need a macro that is a bit too advanced for me to produce alone. What it should do is the following:

a) Mark a target with i.e. Star when out of combat and put it on focus (preferably with a mod button to stay away from any chance of ninja pulling).
b) If in combat, it should replace my interrupt button but do everything in A, as in marking & Focus targeting. If there already is a mark and a focus target on a dead target, it should replace it without a mod button. If the mark & target is alive, it should only change the mark and the focus to the new target via a button mod.
c) Clear Focus and Mark via using another mod button. (Mod buttons can be Ctrl, Alt & Shift).
d) /s [target]=[mark] for [playername].
e) When an interrupt is made, call out the interrupted spell in /s (I don't know is this one is at all possible).

Thanks in advance <3

Thank you! It's perfect! I have no idea how that "3" factors into it, but I made one for Rune/Mirrors that seems to work as well, if any other mages out there are looking for something

#showtooltip
/use [talent:6/1]Mirror Image;Rune of Power

[shanthi]

Thank you! It's perfect! I have no idea how that "3" factors into it

The "7" means "seventh talent tier" and the "3" means "third talent on the tier."

Not sure if this is possible, but supposing it is, can anybody share the syntax to create a conditional dynamic target for a spell?
Let's say that I want to create a macro that uses the spell "Wind Shear" on my current mouseover target OR, if the mouseover is not eligible (friendly one) then on my currently selected target.

If you want it to be even more multi-functional, you can add in some focus functionality:

#showtooltip
/use [@focus,harm,nodead][@mousover,harm,nodead][] Wind Shear

Very much apreciated shanthi

Hey!
I am trying to set up a macro that uses Cheap Shot, but when i hold down Shift uses Kidney Shot. It'll be in my stealth bar and will see use when I am dancing on a target.
Tried this:

#showtooltip [modifier:shift] Kidney Shot; Cheap Shot
/cast [modifier:shift] Kidney Shot; [stance:1/2/3] Cheap Shot

Didn't work. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Edit:

You can't do that -- macros deliberately and specifically cannot react to procs, cooldowns, or anything like that. This is by Blizzard design and intention, so that a human decision *and* a unique hardware event are required to react to those situations.

How would be the best way to make an "Every fruit from herb garden lvl 3 in one button" macro?
The fruits in question would be:

Fuzzy Pear (118268)
Greenskin Apple (118269)
O'ruk Orange (118270)
Ironpeel Plantain (118271)
Giant Nagrand Cherry (118272)
