Macro - Check for buff before casting.

[Soulflare]

I want to check if a buff is present on the player and if yes, cast a certain ability.

More specifically,

if Maelstrom Weapon = 5 stack then,
cast Lightning Bolt
end if

Is it possible to do something like this?

[belfpala]

I don't think so, at least not directly.

You might try:

/cast lightning bolt
/stopcasting

That way, if it's not instant, you don't start casting.

dunno.

i use that as well, but it's annoying since it WILL slow you down slightly

@Soulflare

This is not possible in macros. You can't do an "if-then" type of logic in macros.

Otherwise you could make a single macro to play most classes

This used to be possible waaaaaaaaaaaay back around 1.3. I remember chaincasting Scorch for Clearcasting procs, then casting a Fireball. Good times...

try use POWERAURA, set if the target/focus have 5 stack of that debuf a message and/or costumizable icon will pop up
