I need a 'lil help with macros

[sudyke]

I have posted a topic on this before, but got now answer, so I decided I will try here. I want to make a macro, that consists of a series of spells.
I tried:

castsequence reset:combat spell1, spell2, spell3,..., spell5;

BUT it doesn't work... dunno why.
It casts the first spell, but then thats it...:goofy:
Also I would like to have a 26sec pause between the 4th and the 5th spell if possible.

PLS help me! /cry

from my understanding (which is VERY little) you cannot string together actions that do damage to a target. you could put one spell in the macro and also say something at the same time but they happen simutainously and from what i understand there is no way to make that pause between spells.
If I am wrong (which i hope i am) sorry for the misinformation.

Thats is not possible, i try it before...blizzard dun allow that (disable this function) . So u can give up this ideas..it is not the macro problem

[det]

/castsequence reset=combat/target Unstable Affliction, Corruption, Siphon Life, Curse of Agony, Fear

You have to re-press the button again and again...casting it all on just 1 press would make botting easy and is thus disabled by Blizzard.

More macros that I use to Inspire you:

Seduce leftclick and reseduce with rightclick without having to switch targets:

/target [button:2] focus
/clearFocus
/focus [harm] target
/cast [target=focus,exists,pet:Succubus] Seduction
/targetLastTarget [button:2] 2

Banish leftclick and reseduce with rightclick without having to switch targets:

/target [button:2] focus
/clearFocus
/focus [harm] target
/cast [target=focus,exists] Banish
/targetLastTarget [button:2] 2

HS create and use on 1 macro:

/cast [button:2]Create Healthstone; Master Healthstone

SS create and use on 1 macro

/cast [button:2]Create Soulstone; Master Soulstone

All my 4 pets on 1 button macro:

/cast [button:1,modifier:shift]Summon Succubus(Summon); [button:2,modifier:shift]Summon Felhunter(Summon); [button:2]Summon Voidwalker(Summon); Summon Imp(Summon)

I think I will read it when I'm not this tired... may be then i will figure out what that means... button2 and all don't get what they do...
As far as I understand i have to keep pressing it?? Thats ok if it is one button!

The good news is that you are wrong- the /castsequence command is specifically for stringing together sequences of casts- and is actually intended for things like spammable shot rotations. It's really handy, too. There's some nice info on how it works in the macros bit of wowwiki.

Yes, for the cast sequence (which is on my spellbar under the numeric button 1) you press that button and it casts spell after spell as long as you press that button. I put fear as the last command, so I can stop after 3 button presses if I fight fear immune mobs...or in Instances. And CoA is second to last so if I am on CoE or CoS duty I could stop spamming after 2 presses.

"button 2" = refers to mousebuttons. 3 would be middle button etc.

don't confuse the numeric buttons which are the keyboard buttons with the "button" command which is the mousebutton

This makes the spamming of certain spells very easy for those who are a little uncertain of how to do this

/castsequence Skill Coil, Skill Coil, Skill Coil, Skill Coil,Skill Coil, Skill Coil, Skill Coil, Skill Coil

For instance.

Without this PvP Warlocks would be totally lost:wink:

Except that DeathCoil has a cooldown on it, preventing spamming. Maybe you shoudl research the class a little more before you pass out missinformation?

Pretty much everything you need to know

Also, there's class specific macro's as well. :thumbsup:

This is one of the few times in my life that i am EXTREMLY glad that I am wrong. I am so looking forward to getting home and trying this out.
