Ask it! Macro Edition

[lawomous]

I regularly swap between either Plague Leech/Breath of Sindragosa for single target and Unholy Blight/Necrotic Plague for multi-target. Is it at all possible to make a macro that would swap between the two sets of talents? Could it also facilitate trinket swapping? I swap from Vial of Convulsive Shadows and Discordant Chorus too when changing talents.

Not sure if a macro could handle all that but I use an addon for this http://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/angry-boss-reminders. It can help change your trinkets and glyphs etc too.

Im looking for a macro that would let me equip boe items by mouseovering and using the macro. With thousands and thousands salvage yard boxes, having to click on confirmation message, if I want to equip boe every single time, starts to get more and more painfull.

Have you tried this

/click StaticPopup1Button1

or this

/click StaticPopup2Button1

?

This one works.

Thank you very much.

Is it possible to write a macro that casts Light of the Martyr if you mouseover friendly targets but does nothing if you mouseover yourself?

#showtooltip Light of the Martyr
/use [@mouseover,help,nodead] Light of the Martyr

I'm not sure about how to "do nothing" on yourself. You can try adding ;[@player] after Martyr and if that doesn't work, try adding a spell or some item you don't have after that player part.

[lawomous]

Light of the Martyr can't be cast on yourself anyway so you don't really need a special macro.

Or you could make it somewhat "function" on yourself

#showtooltip Light of the Martyr
/use [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead]Light of the Martyr;[@player]Holy Shock

Neither of those worked. The reason why I want the macro is in case I fat finger it on myself and although it happens very rarely, when it does happen and I get the blue outline on my mouse I am not able to cast it again without "clicking" the mouse button. Maybe it could be written in another way to circumvent that?

/stopspelltarget should get rid of that

#showtooltip Light of the Martyr
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] Light of the Martyr
/stopspelltarget

/stopspelltarget should get rid of that

#showtooltip Light of the Martyr
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] Light of the Martyr
/stopspelltarget

Thank you, that worked.

I'm looking for a macro that would target any available enemy and cast a spell, but only if there is no current target. If there is current target, then let it cast on current target.

I've been browsing forums and found macro that looks very advanced, but happens to do the job for me, but it probably is an overkill and could be simplified for my purpose. Or should I stick to if if it works?

#showtooltip BOOM SPELL
/cast [@target, harm, nodead][@mouseover,harm,nodead] BOOM SPELL
/stopmacro [target, harm]
/targetenemy
/cast BOOM SPELL
/targetlasttarget

/stopmacro [target, harm]

This should be what you need:

#showtooltip
/cast [@target,harm,nodead] BOOM SPELL
/stopmacro [target,harm]
/targetenemy
/cast BOOM SPELL

However, if I'm not mistaken, isn't this the default behavior of every harmful spell? On my paladin, using Judgment will automatically target an enemy.

Thanks, it works well!

I don't have access to live atm, but beta shouldn't be any different from live. I'm playing shadow priest and my spells don't autotarget enemies, I always have "you have no target" error. Maybe a class feature for paladins?

You can simplify that quite a bit:

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [@target,noharm]
/cast BOOM SPELL

This is my base macro for 99% of my spells and it does what you want.

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][help]
/cast Fireball

[solshine2510]

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [@target,noharm]
/cast BOOM SPELL

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][help]
/cast Fireball

Is there a way to add mouseover target into any of them? and @Focus with modifier?

What I'm trying to accomplish now is to adjust my current macro I've been using with my spells so that it does the above in addition to what it does now, which is:
1. cancels aura if there is one,
2. casts @Focus with mod:shift,
3. casts @mouseover.

What I would like to add is:

4. target new enemy and cast at it if no current target. You guys have posted great macros, but I have failed to incorporate your suggestions into my existing macro

#showtooltip Mind Blast
/cancelaura dispersion
/cast [mod:shift @Focus] @mouseover,nodead,harm][] mind blast

[shanthi]

I think this should do what you're looking for (using lawomous' formulation, since it's better than mine):

#showtooltip
/cancelaura Dispersion
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][help]
/cast [mod:shift,@ focus][@mouseover,nodead,harm][] Mind Blast

(Remove the space between "@" and "focus"...just did that to prevent the new mention system from breaking the syntax even more.)

Thank you, it works One last thing that would make it 1000% perfect: could the lines be rearranged in a way that the "/targetenemy [noexists][dead][help]" is executed only if there's no mouseover? I mean so that when casting @mouseover and without target, it wouldn't target nearest enemy. So that it does /targetenemy as last resort, if I may say so .

#showtooltip
/cancelaura Dispersion
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][help][nomod][@ mouseover,noexists]
/cast [mod:shift,@ focus][@ mouseover,nodead,harm][] Mind Blast

I think that should work. I also added the "[nomod]" so it also won't try to grab a target if you press shift to hit your focus, truly making it "last resort." If you don't want that functionality, you can remove that bit.

Again, remember to remove the spaces after the "@" signs.

Im looking for a macro to target myself, cast Holy Prisms and Holy Wrath if possible.
