Macro help needed

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm fairly new to wow and need some help with a few macros. I am trying to simplify a few abilities because I am a clicker and I am trying to make the progression towards playing with key-binds. 

Right now the macro I am working on looks like this:
#showtooltip Judgment

/castsequence [modifier: shift] Hammer of Wrath; Judgment, Avenger's Shield

The modifier works and I am able to cast Hammer of Wrath.
When I have both abilities ready (no cool-downs) I am able to spam the macro hotkey and it works as intended, uses Judgment and then uses Avenger's shield. However the problem is that sometimes I will proc the Grand Crusader passive (refresh cool-down of Avenger's Shield) and then my skill is available to use. However pressing the macro hotkey does not work unless both skills are on available...

I need a command that stops the cast sequence and restarts it after every second press.
As I am getting used to key-binds I'm trying to limit the number of keys I have to press by putting these 2 abilities into one button. Is this possible, can anyone provide any guidance please?

Thanks!

I would typically do one of two things. Either take hammer of wrath out of the macro so you can mod:shift avengers shield.That would look like this:

 

#showtooltip

/castsequence [mod:shift] Avenger's Shield; Judgement, Avenger's Shield

 

That would allow you to use the cast sequence most of the time, but have the ability to use shift if you need to get to avenger's shield for a proc.

 

If you want to keep hammer of wrath in the macro, another thing you could try is

 

#showtooltip

/castsequence reset=5 [mod:shift] Hammer of Wrath; Judgement, Avernger's Shield, Avenger's Shield

 

With that macro your cast sequence would be Judgement, Averger's Shield x2 (incase you get a proc), but after 5 seconds, which is 1 second before the cooldown of judgment, the macro resets and goes back to judgement. This would also allow you to keep the shift mod for hammer of wrath. If it's possible to get 3 or even 4 avenger's shield procs before a judgement then you just need to add more Avenger's shield casts to the sequence, but keep the reset=5 in there to go back to judgement on CD.

 

Also, I'd recommend just using #showtooltip , instead of #showtooltip <ability>. just keeping it as #showtooltip will allow it to update dynamically and show whatever ability is next up in your macro.

      Hey guys. So I tanked way way back in TBC and WotLK vanilla. But I’m old now and totally forget everything. 
       
      To tank heroics 500 defense ok to start? Or do you need for sure 540 to even attempt them?
       
      AoE tanking is using SoC and single target is SoV?

      Hello everyone! When i downloaded the recent shadowlands expansion, i noticed that my macros no longer worked =0. This is not a single target DPS  macro, this is a Help / Harm selective macro So i did some digging to find out what was goin on, An example of this would be : /cast [help] Innervate ; [harm] Entangling Roots ; Innervate.  This macro utilizes one button for a dual purpose. if i am targeted on friend i innervate them while if i and targeting a opponent it would root them in place. This structure is now broken but has also made things easier in most cases, After doing some digging i discovered some new macros and the new format. Some examples of the new way to write this would be :
       #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]innervate
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Entangling Roots
      #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]Regrowth
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Wrath
      #showtooltip
      /cast [harm,nodead][@target,harm,nodead]Moonfire
      /cast [help,nodead][@target,help,nodead]Rejuvenation
      #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]Wild Growth
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Entangling Roots
      This is what they call a fall through macro, If the first line of code is not available because of a cooldown or if the Help or Harm selection, it will fall through to the next line of code. This works especially well for balance druids, shaman, and hybrid healing classes that use a ton of buttons. You can cut the amount of keys you need press in half which saves space and prevents accidentally pressings the wrong button. I like to pair my spells by the time it takes to cast, Instant casts with instant casts. They also introduces a mouse over macro for heals and rebuffs which is really good for world PVP. One of the better macros iv'e seen is a mouse over Rebirth : 
       #showtooltip Rebirth
      /cast [@mouseover,help]Rebirth;Rebirth
      #showtooltip Remove Corruption
      /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][target=target] Remove Corruption
       
      If you are going to try and make your own macro, you should keep in mind
      1: The Global Cool Down or GCD which is the time it takes between 2 casts and
      2: Not all of your spells and trinkets share a GCD, so you are able to cast 2 or 3 spells at the exact same time as long as it doesn't share a GCD.
      I hope this helps!

      Been playing as 29/11/0 so far, extra crit heals is obviously good for keeping my team alive.
       
      However, I never go OOM, so I want to get some more burst damage. What is the best way to make a hybrid paladin? 
      Holy shock with spell power? I want to do burst damage when my heals get interrupted, so holy shock might be bad.
       
      7 Prot is the bare minimum for me, Imp Freedom is so strong.
      18 Prot is also very strong, extra stuns together with grenades is powerful for BGs.
      25 Prot for reckoning might be the best burst damage available, you could even heal with a 2hander. But this requires alot of investment and SETUP.
       
      How good is SoC for a 1hander? Spell power gear? Maybe using Thrash Blade to do melee damage while healing geared.
       
      What kind of gear? Spell power or strength?
