First, startattack is one word so it's

#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast Howling Blast

And if you use default Blizzard actionbars use: Light My Macro

If you use any actionbar mod like Bartender, Dominoes, Macaroon etc, AND PowerAuras then use: Power Auras Classic: Buttons

is it possible to make raise dead+death pact castsequence macro to reset only if pet is dead or may be if no pet use raise dead if pet is alive use death pact?

[Deleted]

not sure about the sequence, but the second could work like

#showtooltip
/cast [pet] death pact; raise dead

I have a problem that I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. I've been using a macro on my warrior that allows me to charge or taunt my mouseover using a modifier. It was working fine a few days ago, but now it only taunts. After some experimentation, I figured out that it wasn't recognizing that I was holding the shift key. In fact, non of my modifier keys are recognized. Shift works when typing in game. I can still cast Running Wild, which is bound to Shift-r. I can't, however, get my modifiers to work in macros, while creating new key binds, or when trying to use key binds that already existed (other than Running Wild). I'm using the Razer Naga, and most of my key binds are attached to that. I thought that maybe it was just the use of modifiers while using the mouse buttons, which is why Shift-r still works, but as the realms are down right now, I can't test that. Any thoughts?

So with the arival of 4.1 my shaman's enhance set is mostly done, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with a macro that casts Flame Shock with no mod, and then fire nova when pressing shift + key or something of the sort.

[Elim Garak]

#showtooltip [mod:shift] Fire Nova; Flame Shock
/cast [mod:shift, harm] Fire Nova; [harm] Flame Shock

Place it into a slot with required key-bind. Check if I got the spelling right for the spells. Make sure there are no shift+your key binds already. You can change the mod to alt or ctrl

Thank you very much.

#showtooltip will show the correct tooltip without an argument

hm, didn't know that , is it a new feature?

not new as far as I know. It will change to the spell that is triggered under the current circumstances. also works with castsequence macros.

I require some assistance getting around the new AOE ground target issue with this last patch. I was wondering if anyone here knew if it was possible to launch a ground targeted spell with a macro instead of activating the reticule with the macro press and then having to click the location. I would like ground targeted spells to fire at my mouse's location when I press the button.

Yeah, but how will it behave with [harm] condition? What will it show if a friendly is selected? Afaik it will show a red question mark as an icon and no tooltip. Is it not so now?

That's not possible

i'm looking for a macro that does:

• mount seahorse when i'm swimming and in Vashj'ir and not mounted
• mount anzu when solo and not swimming in Vashj'ir and not mounted
• mount chopper when in party/raid and not swimming in Vashj'ir and not mounted
• dismount when mounted.

The only part I dont have in my macro is in the party / raid bit, if servers were up I'd get you my macro.

You could do this in two parts, one macro for the ground mounts logic, and one for the rest of it, and then use another macro that clicks on those buttons on your bars based on the logic for flyable / swimable etc.

What OS are you using? I believe I read something about a known issue with 4.1.

Save your breath, I've already answered the question:

/run local n=(IsSwimming() and GetRealZoneText()=="Vashj'ir") and 40054 or (GetNumPartyMembers()>0) and 32286 or 22222 for i=1,GetNumCompanions("MOUNT") do if GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT",i)==n then CallCompanion("MOUNT",i) break end end

What you need to do:
Insert the creature ID for Anzu. Use this script:

/run for i=1,GetNumCompanions("MOUNT") do print(GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT",i)) end

Replace the "22222" in the macro above by the number it says to the left of Anzu's mount name.

Also, if your toon is horde, you'll have to do the same with the chopper's creatureID - replace the "32286" in the macro (that's the alliance chopper cID).

Besides, the macro's untested.
