[WoW] Macro Thread Anyone?

Since I'm a lazy Hunter I love macros. Here are a few that I have come to know and love.
Blizzard Macro and UI Forum.

If are in an area where you can use a flying mount this will allow you to do so, otherwise it will mount your regular mount.
Since I don't have a 280% mount yet I don't always need to fly in Outlands. This will mount your flying mount with left click of the macro button and mount your regular mount with right click.
I have a couple more that should probably go in the class specific forums but I thought it wouldn't be bad to get a thread started on this topic since 2.1 made a few changes with the macro system.

I would like a macro that sunders if there is not yet 5 sunders and devastates if there is 5 sunders on the target.
Anyhow, I don't play Rogue, but here's a hella useful rogue blind macro:
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Blind
/cast Blind
Bind that to a key. If you have a hostile opponent targeted, it will blind them.
If you want to blind someone you don't have targeted, then simply mouseover their toon and hit your key.
For example: Sumrogue has me targeted, going pew pew. My backup, Leethealz, shows up to rescue me. Sumrogue mouses over Leethealz and hits his Blind key, effectively Blinding Leethealz without ever having to detarget me.
Fucking. Over. Powered.
Make that the second you learn Righteous Defense or your life is forfeit.
That cannot be done.
You cannot parse a target's debuff list with a macro.
/cast [stealth] Pounce; Rake
Replace Pounce with Ravage and Rake with Shred for another nice one.
/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire; Faerie Fire (Feral)
One-Button Faerie Fire.
Rorus, THIS is what I wanted out of this thread. I was JUST about to ask it, here, in this post.
Also, how do I use it properly?
You keep targeting the mob you're tanking and hit it. It's that simple. And pure and good. Or if it's a multi mob situation, target the idiot.
Just make sure the mob isn't stunned or CC...because they tend to lose their target and make RD fizzle.
(not a pally ;p)
/castrandom "Mount Name", "Mount Name", "Mount Name"
Random mount macro. Note that you don't include the apostrophes around your mounts. Just shift click them and they'll be added to the macro. If you are mounted, you'll dismount and if you are mounted it'll just ignore that and mount you up.
this was my biggest problem with RD when i was using it on my porr wittle belf pally. Stoping everything to save someones ass was not fun.
Also, totem macros, I NEEDS them.
From the 2.1 notes. Happy time.
Nope. Target someone who has aggro.
Given how much threat HS outputs, it's actually really not helpful at all for threat. And they always seem to do it several yards away from where I want to actually tank the damn mob.
Warlock
Clear yourself of magic debuffs with a felhunter.
My affliction grinding macro.
As an Affliction lock you can get Imp Drain Soul to get mana back for killing a mob but you get far too many Soul Shards with this. This will destroy a shard in your bag and cast rank 1 drain soul. WARNING, you must make sure your shard bag is in the correct slot for this macro. Notice, PU(4,20) that means that the 4th bag and the 20th slot, the 4th bag being the furthest left or furthest from your backpack. I put up a warning so don't come whining to me if you delete some of your epix.
Hunter
Misdirection macro. Nice to have if you are constantly MD'ing to a particular tank.
/golfclap
/congratulate
/sit
I'm one of those "nervous about mods" types. I use a /loc macro that I've seen around various sites. Problem is that, when my hard drive went "no mas" I lost part of the wording and can't find it anywhere now. As a result the printed result of the macro comes out in an ugly format; what I lost was a line or two that formatted the output so it looked like XX.XX XX.XX instead of 0.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll try to edit in the exact wording when I get home tonight but it's something like this...
get location as x & y
x = x*100
y = y*100
"missing line(s) here"
send x & y to the chat window
Like I said, I'll try to insert the exact wording later tonight
/emote feasts on the fallen...
/say Meat is meat... good to eat...
That usually gets a few disgusted comments when I'm pugging.
feed pet macro,
/cast Feed Pet
/use [FOOD GOES HERE]
or, if you use lots of different pets/are a fancy motherfucker,
/cast Feed Pet
/use [pet:Cat/Ravager] [some meat bullshit]; [pet:Crab] Berries
/e feeds CRABZ delicious snax
and so on
if you are a laggy motherfucker, use this,
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Auto Shot
in place of steady shot, and it will ensure you do not clip your auto shots
I was looking for this >.>
Download and run SuperCast, it colours the end of your casting bar red, to represent how far behind the cast you are due to latency i.e. at which point you can tell your client that you want to cancel the cast, while still having the server know you've cast it.
Then just make macros for all of your abilities like this:
/stopcasting
/cast Flash Heal
As soon as your cast hits the red area, hit your next spell. The difference in effectiveness is more notable as your ping raises, but it's pretty much awesome for anyone.
It's what kills Illhoof.
/script local playerX, playerY = GetPlayerMapPosition("player"); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(("Location (xx.x, yy.y): %04.1f, %04.1f"):format((playerX * 100), (playerY * 100)), 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
Feel free to make requests. I'll tell you whether it can be done, and, if it can, write it for you.
Woot! Thanks!
TYIA!
I use Grid set up to display debuffs I can cure prominently, and then just hover over the particular player's box and press my decurse button.
/cast Dispel Magic ArenaTeammatesName
/cast Dispel Magic MyName
work? As Dispel Magic, if I recall correctly, does not cast unless there is a defuff it can clean. I just want to get away from using the mouse and have it keys only, but I dont care how thats achieved.
Also, is there a macro that 1st casts Amp. Curse and then casts Curse of Agony (like with a double key press), but if Amp. Curse is on cooldown it just casts Agony? I tried looking for it in Google and on the WoW forums, but none of the class forums has a macro thread stickied... and they used to (6 months ago?).
Again, thanks for any info/help.
/cast Amplify Curse
/stopcasting
/cast Curse of Agony
would work.
check out http://www.wowwiki.com/Useful_macros/Warlock for more awesome macros. (Change class name for macros for your class)
My question is, is it possible to target by raid icon. like /target GreenTriangle
I'm guessing that these wouldn't work with castable mounts (Paladin, Warlock, Druid) without some modification... is there any way to make a macro that functions similarly, but for one of those three classes using one castable and one "reins" mount?
Could change Blind with Fear for my warlock?
The proper macro syntax for that would be:
/cast [target=ArenaTeammatesName] Dispel Magic
/cast [target=player] Dispel Magic
but I think that will always stop on the first Dispel Magic regardless if it doesn't cast if there's nothing to dispell.
These should work for cast mounts as well. /use and /cast are the same thing under the hood I believe. If it doesn't work, just swap /use with /cast because I know /cast with items works but I don't know if /use with spells does.
For example, my personal mount macro is thus:
Yes.
Pickpocket. We all have it. But how often do you remember to use it? Use this macro, and every time you use an opener, you will also pickpocket. Make sure auto-loot is on (but why wouldn't it be?).
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast Pick Pocket
/stopcasting
/cast Cheap Shot
replace Cheap Shot with Sap, Ambush, or Garrote as necessary. This will work just like your regular openers, except it pickpockets simultaneously. Note that there is a chance the pick will be resisted, and your opener will not go off. A small risk, but just something to keep in mind.
I get so much more money from this, and also from selling the potions I find doing this, that it's not even funny.
/focus [target=focus, noexists] target
/cast [target=focus, exists, harm] Polymorph
/stopmacro [noharm]
/p Polymorph --> %t
The last line shouldn't be necessary if you have cryolysis announcing sheeps for you.
Anyhoo, while the raid/group leader is marking up targets, hit that to get your focus on, then target the main nuke target. After the pull you can hit your macro button to sheep without losing track of the nuke-down target.
Also, when your sheep breaks, just hit the same key to resheep without having to change targets or whatever.
