Anyone a working F&B makro?
I would like to cast e.g. incinerate with F&B when I use the macro and it should turn the aura off each time I cast the macro
I have
im using 6 keybinds for my firespells. 3 single target, 3 aoe.
Aoe:
#showtooltip immolate
/cast !fire and brimstone
/cast immolate
#showtooltip incinerate
/cast !fire and brimstone
/cast incinerate
#showtooltip conflagrate
/cast !fire and brimstone
/cast conflagrate
Single target:
#showtooltip immolate
/cancelaura fire and brimstone
/cast immolate
#showtooltip incinerate
/cancelaura fire and brimstone
/cast incinerate
#showtooltip conflagrate
/cancelaura fire and brimstone
/cast conflagrate
This way, you dont have to worry about removing fire and brimstone when you want to single target
yes, its that simple.
Just a condensed version of that:
#showtooltip Incinerate
/cancelaura [nomod] Fire and Brimstone
/cast [nomod] Incinerate
/cast [mod:shift] !Fire and Brimstone
/cast [mod:shift] Incinerate
/cast [mod:ctrl] Incinerate
Nomod for non AoE, Shift to AoE.
I would modify ur macro like this:
#showtooltip Incinerate
/cast [mod:shift] !Fire and Brimstone
/cancelaura [nomod] Fire and Brimstone
/cast Incinerate
You dont need to write "/cast Incinerate" with both modifiers, just without any.
-> make this macro with every fire spell -> spammable aoe buttons!!

Works good, thanks for the update!
Thank you very much! I thought [nochanneling] only worked with actually channeling spells like mind flay, drain life etc. Didn't know it worked for hard casting! I will test it when I get home!
#showtooltip Incinerate
/cast [mod:shift] !Fire and Brimstone
/cancelaura [nomod] Fire and Brimstone
/cast Incinerate
After some additional testing I think you are right in saying that [nochanneling] only affects channeled spells.
After 5.3 hit I just played around with F&B macros and sometimes I interrupted my own casts using the above macro.
Then I just tried to modify my macro and added the [nochanneling] whereupon it seemed to be working without interrupts.
But now I know it better:
The macro allows spamming as long as you use it for aoe purposes, because of the "!" in front of the F&B, which prevents using F&B again, when it's already up.
The macro interrupts your spellcasts when you want to switch to single target and F&B is still up. This is, because F&B needs to be up until the cast modified by it is finished (The new F&B costs no embers, but the casts modified by it). So when you spam the single target version of the macro with "/cancelaura F&B" it will just do that and you can't finish the F&B cast, because F&B is not up anymore. I wish it would be possible to convert an F&B Incinerate into a normal Incinerate when cancelling the F&B buff^^
tl;dr:
1: Spam the macro while aoe-ing
2: When you want to switch back from aoe to single target and you are still casting an F&B Incinerate, wait until the cast is finished and then spam the macro for single target again.

Recently I've been using Fire and Brimstone a lot. I have also been using Howl of Terror more and more. As a PvP Warlock both are pretty important if you wanna keep the enemy team both at bay and on fire! I also have been going keybind crazy....
Anyways, I don't have my main spells on macros. I like keeping them separate, and having other spells on macro.
Anyways staying on topic here. this is the macro I use for F&B and it works wonders. At first, I had the spell alone on one button, and when I changed to a macro, I noticed it would activate but never deactivate. With this, you can turn it on and off in a pinch.
#showtooltip;
/cast [mod:shift] Howl of Terror; !Fire and Brimstone;
/cancelaura Fire and Brimstone;
I think everything was spelled right because it would cast Immolate, but when I pressed "Shift" and cast its doesn't activate FnB. It just cast the normal single target Immolate. It worked as intended with Conflag and Incinerate, and I am not changing anything other then the name of the spell.
