Does "/cast !Shoot" still work?

[phetish]

Did Blizzard take away the no-toggle functionality of the "!" modifier?

Thanks in advance!! :)

[Diamndzngunz]

log into the game and try for yourself?

I have - and i can't seem to get it to work right - thought i might be doing it wrong.... or that someone might be able to shed a little light on it... thanks!

If you're trying to use it for a hunter's auto shot I believe it's /cast autoshoot, I'm not 100% certain on that however.

If you are at range then a simple /startattack will work fine. I always toss that one in at the end line of a cast sequence macro for my hunter, in the event I screwed up something else.

CAVEAT: This only works if you have selected "Auto Attack / Auto Shot" in your Menu->Interface->Combat options.

/cast !Shoot should still work for casters using wands.

You can check my hunter macros here: http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=48513#post48513

I believe you want "/cast !Auto Shot" for hunters, and "/cast !Shoot" for wanding casters (mages, priests, warlocks).

Roger that! :P

I am a lazy hunter anyway.

Interesting -

I can't get the !Shoot to work on my priest and mage - I'm boosting with my 70 shaman and have my LB bound to "2" and my basic assist macro with !Shoot on my priest and mage bound to the "2" as well.

So every time I shoot a LB on my shaman, my mage and priest toggle their wands on and off. I was hoping to have the priest and mage just continue shooting while I spam my LB's.

This should do as a work around
/castsequence reset=target/combat Shoot, , , , ,

The empty spaces between commas act as a non-casting action so the Shoot goes on.

I see the error in the macro.
/cast [equipped:Wands]Shoot
or simply '/cast shoot ' should work.

/cast !shoot works the same way as /cast !cat form does for druids. Basically what happens is that it never toggles the ability after ! off, but will recast it. Example: if I'm in cat form and I do /cast !cat form over and over, I'll run out of mana in about 6 seconds. With wands, they won't shoot if you're still inside the global cooldown. So what happens is that it tries to start shooting again but you're still bumping teh GCD so it just stops.

I'll try removing the ! here in a bit and see what it does.

[edit] Yeah, !shoot is broken in its intended function, I think. That and the regular /cast shoot macros won't do what we were expecting, as anyone who's already shooting stops immediately. This is with wands, btw. No idea about hunters as I just use startattack on them.

Still works fine for hunters with /cast !Auto Shot

You might want to report this in the official bug forum or maybe even in the official wow macro forum to see if it's a known issue.



BTW, I find that /cast !Shadowmeld works great, and for forms you'll probably want to use something along the lines of /cast [nostance:3] Cat Form (cat form is stance 3 right?)

I'll have to check my settings when I get home, but for some reason I though for shoot is was just
/!shoot
no /cast

I'm probably way off though.
