Ask it! Macro Edition

Doesnt work.

The mouseover part is supposed to be "Void Bolt". mod alt with mouseover for Void Bolt, no mod and just currently selected target for void bolt aswell.

I like to write macros like this using multiple lines, just to make the logic more clear. If it goes over the character limit, or if you just want to clean it up later, you can use semi-colons instead of new lines, and get rid of the multiple '/use'.

#showtooltip
/use [mod: ctrl] Shadow Mend
/use [mod: shift] Silence
/use [mod: alt, @mouseover, harm][mod: alt] Void Bolt
/use Void Eruption

I don't play a Shadow Priest, so I can't test this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, assuming I've understood what you're looking for, and the spells do what I think they do.

Is it possible to make a macro that does

/stopcasting
/cast Blink

when Cauterize or Cold Snap is talented, but does

/cast Shimmer (without the stopcasting since it removes part of the benefit of Shimmer)

When Shimmer is talented?

This should do it:

#showtooltip
/stopcasting [talent:2/2][talent:2/3]
/cast [talent:2/1] Shimmer;Blink

#showtooltip
/stopcasting [talent:2/2][talent:2/3]
/cast [talent:2/1] Shimmer;Blink

Thank you for your response! Unfortunately it's not fully working . The Shimmer part works perfectly, but when not having Shimmer talented, the macro only executes the /stopcasting part and not the blink part, making it effectively just a stopcasting macro.

See if splitting Blink out to its own line works:

#showtooltip
/cast [talent:2/1] Shimmer
/stopcasting [talent:2/2][talent:2/3]
/cast [talent:2/2][talent:2/3] Blink

Unfortunately that doesn't work either. Thanks for the suggestion.

This should work. Also, if you are using conditionals that query a unit, such as harm or help, exists is not necessary. Harm and help imply exists if they are true.

/cast [@mouseover,harm][@target,harm] Purge; [@mouseover,help][@target,help] Purify Spirit

/cast [talent:2/1] Shimmer
/stopmacro [talent:2/1]
/stopcasting
/cast Blink

hey guys i was wondering if anyone can help me with a somewhat annoying issue. i have the following macro on my monk:

#showtooltip
/castsequence [no channeling] reset=9 Rising Sun Kick, Fists of Fury, Whirling Dragon Punch

basically the idea is to have these 3 on one key (not optimal but makes farming invasions or old content easier) and i just build chi or BoK with other keys and weave this in at the right times, anyway, my issue is the sequence goes off without a hitch in terms of ability use but the tooltip seems to not change at all sometimes or get stuck other times, the timer on the tooltip will show correctly the spell cooldown for whatever spell is supposed to be next but not the actual image.

i tried making a simple castsequence macro with just tiger palm followed by BoK too and the same thing happens the ability image just gets stuck randomly and doesn't update, any idea how to fix this as on the beta it works fine and also recently on live was working fine too.

yo, I got this macro that was ment to disable Raid Boss emotes, mostly for bgs since I didn't want them on my screen, the chat log was enough.

/script BossEmoteFrame:Hide()
/script BossEmoteFrame.Show = BossEmoteFrame.Hide

I'm assuming these strings where removed ages ago so the script no longer works? Anyone got any alternatives? I tried DBM with the pvp plugin, with disabled blizzard emotes and what not... that didn't work either.

Hey, im trying to make an mouseover macro with both Death Grip and Hook (from Sledge Belcher) in one.
Uing this atm, dunno how to add more spells to it.

/cast [@mouseover,exists] Hook; Hook

Also, would like an version thats not-mouseover aswell if possible :>

i dont believe its possible to use more than one skill with one makro?

[miDnight77]

Is it actually possible to have a macro that has a mouseover heal spell for friendly targets and a normal targeted dps spell for enemies?

ie Rejuv + sunfire on the same button ?

The Idea is to have the boss / add always in target still heal with mouseover rejuv and if no mouserover target is there apply sunfire for example

Yep, this definitely works. It's how I have all my spells set up usually (I play Resto Shaman).

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover, help, nodead] Rejuvenation; Sunfire

That's the simple version that does exactly what you asked for, but it means if you have a friendly target, it will try to cast Sunfire on them. I tend to like something more along the lines of:

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover, help, nodead] Rejuvenation
/use [@target, harm, nodead] Sunfire; Rejuvenation

That will allow you to cast Rejuv on mouseover and target (if they're friendly), and will cast Sunfire on enemy targets. You can also add mouseover support for Sunfire by changing it to:

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover, help, nodead] Rejuvenation
/use [@mouseover, harm, nodead][@target, harm, nodead] Sunfire; Rejuventation

Trying to make a focus misdirection macro

The clear focus is the final part, but whenever I hit the macro a second time to clear the focus, it thinks it needs to recast the macro, any idea how I can prevent that?

#showtooltip Misdirection
/focus [help]
/stopmacro [help]
/cast [@focus,help,nodead] Misdirection;[@pet,help,nodead] Misdirection
/clearfocus

The only way you can macro a "rotation" is by using /castsequence or /castrandom. However, there are limitations. If castsequence cannot cast a spell, such as it being on cooldown, it will not continue to the next spell. This is on purpose to prevent 1-button play macros. You can still try this macro out. It will cast Shear at the start of combat, after 10 seconds of using the macro, or after a successful Throw Glaive.

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat/10 Shear, Demon Spikes, Throw Glaive

/castrandom has a similar limitation. It will stay on whatever spell it selects until that spell is successful. So, if it chooses Throw Glaive and it's on cooldown, the macro will cast Throw Glaive only and nothing else until it can be casted.

#showtooltip
/castrandom Shear, Demon Spikes, Throw Glaive

Is there a way to put Legion companion ability in macro (Warrior companion Thorim - spell Titan's Wrath). /cast Titan's Wrath and /cast Titans Wrath doesn't work.

Huge thanks in advance!
