    Macro to use either of the two specced abilities

    So hey. I'm currently playing a lot of warrior in arena. Thing is; that some times I'm better off with staggering shout than disrupting shout, which are two talents in the same tier. It however happens frequently, that I forget to bind the stuff I replace - it would be easier if I could make a macro such as "/cast talent 3". Is there a correct way of making a macro such as this? And how so?

    PS: Im sorry if this has already been posted - I just know how to search properly for this topic.

    Would really appreciate the help

    I did some playing around and here is what i was able to get to work pretty well.

    I don't actually use this, it was just to test if it worked.

    #showtooltip
    /cast Healing Tide Totem
    /cast Ancestral Guidance
    /run SetMacroSpell("HTT/AG test",GetSpellInfo("Healing Tide Totem") or "Ancestral Guidance")

    *where is says "HTT/AG test" just change that to whatever your macro name is so "macro name" and obviously the ability names.

    As a note it won't automatically change icons/tooltips until you've clicked the macro once.

    couldnt you just make a macro saying

    /cast staggering shout
    /cast disrupting shout

    ? since one spell isnt in your book it should auto cast the one that is like when you have a cd keybound too a button u spam it just does the reg attack bc cd isnt up
    My channel: Shirgadirth I used to do let's play's but now I do reviews, but not very often. Far too busy from school. Also too poor to buy games :P

    Last time I tried that it didn't work. As your character will say something like "Ability unavailable" or "I can't do that"

    yes, but something like

    #showtooltip
    /cast ability 1
    /cast ability 2

    will only show tooltip and icon for the first ability. In the method i showed will but just requires it to be clicked on once to update.

    There is a much longer one that will auto update but no room to fit #showtooltip into it so only icon/cooldown timer will only update

    Easiest thing is to just get and use this simple addon. It tweaks the code, AND makes the addons for you, simply named t1, t2 etc..

    It made toying around on my hunter a lot easier^^
    If you add me on Steam, Skype or whatever program/client I share my info for, please write something to identify you in the "Dude/gal wants to join your club"-message. Just so I know that an actual human is on the other end :P
