The short answer to both is "no, not really". The slightly longer answer I'll get to in a moment.

There's no way to use a cooldown conditional (i.e. there is no [isready] conditional) that would allow you to see if X trinket is up, if not do Y. There is also no [isfeared] conditional, for example. I need to edit in a few notes about that, now that you mention it.

You can, however, jury-rig the process by using the /castrandom command - i.e. /castrandom Insignia of the Horde, Will of the Forsaken will randomly select between the two. However, since WotF can be triggered preemptively (and it may not remove the effect you want it to) this macro is far from perfect - and if you keep hitting it the macro may well use both abilities, whether you want it to or not.

What in gods name is with the question marks? It interpreted ' as ? marks... sigh.

Fine by me!

a HA!

is this your idea of a warrior sticky?

Maybe Mike should provide a link to it in his FAQ, Kao says that he will not make another sticky since we have exceeded our limit.

Already done. I replaced the "Macros are broken" question.

One macro I ve been playing with for a hunter is to change aspect dependant on situation used. Eg. Aspect of hawk when using bow and aspect of monkey when in combat used to use

/cast aspect of monkey; /cast attack

/cast apsect of hawk; /cast autoshot

This used to work but now when changing aspect it activates a global cooldown on all skills. Is there away of still do this or does the global cool down mean I will have to hit the button twice?

Sadly, no. There is no conditioner to check for combo points, although I'm hoping that one will be added, and there's no conditioner to check for the HP of your target. (If there were, an Execute macro would be considerably more... functional).


Yep, I moved it to Textpad and it's been working fine.



Well, you can use;

/cast Aspect of the Hawk
/attack

Since the /attack should now toggle between autoshot and autoattack based upon how far you are from the target automatically. Neither attack nor autoshot should be effected by the global cooldown in any way.

Very nice!

I have a small addition for everyone who is a sad panda that decursive doesn't work anymore:

/cast [target=mouseover] Remove Lesser Curse

You can replace this with Dispel Magic of course.

How to use?
Well, you simply move your mouse over the cursed people in your raid display (standard UI, X-Perl, whatever) or avatars without clicking on them. So you don't lose your current target. Then hit the macro. If a target is not cursed, you won't cast ("Nothing to dispel"), saving you the GCD and Mana. The only strange thing is, you have to click your own avatar for it to work, mouseover seems to work differently on yourself.

This macro in action on Noth looks something like this:
Noth curses a bunch of people.
"OMG! HALP!"
You move your mouse over cursed people one by one in the raid display while hammering this macro.
Done.

(And I even capitalised this post for easy addition into your nicely layouted guide)

I am looking for a macro that uses my trinket (Gri'lek's Charm of Might) and after using it, immediatly equip a different trinket. The trinket does not put you in combat, so it should be possible to equip another trinket before the fight starts. I wonder if something like this works:
/equipslot [13] Gri'lek's Charm of Might
/stopcasting
/use Gri'lek's Charm of Might
/stopcasting
/unequipslot [13] Gri'lek's Charm of Might
/stopcasting
/equipslot [13] Hand of Justice
/stopcasting
/cast Charge

two additions:

1. the decursive macro is less automated and requires more thought. but by that, i'd say it's better than decursive, not worse. because you can choose in which order you decurse, without having to set it beforehand and by situation without it being fixed.
have two decursers in the group? one does the group, the other goes cross-raid.
you can also do things like going for healers first, instead of priests and druids (which may not be healers, i.e. shadow or feral).

2. the join battlefield as a group does not work anymore. i tried it several times but it was hotfixed out with 2.0.3 or so. whichever it was on Jan 9.

Now here's a question.

Here's my macro:

/cast Resurrection 
/s Resurrecting %t

Very simple - start casting Res and announce who it's for. However, sometimes the Res fails, because the target is out of line of sight or out of range. So I might move a few steps and click the macro again, and to me it becomes very spammish to continue announcing when only the last time I clicked the macro did the Res actually cast.

Is there a way to stop the macro using /stopmacro [conditional] if the Res doesn't actually start?
