Maybe I'm missing this somwhere, but I'm trying to add a racial (which has a 2min cooldown) to a macro..

I'd like to have something like


/stopcasting
/cast Blood Fury
/castsequence reset=6 Earth Shock(Rank 2), Flame Shock(Rank 1)

The idea being that each time I press this button (whether it casts earth or flame shock) it'll attempt to cast Blood fury. But I'd like it to only attempt to cast it if it's ready.

However I'm not sure what modifier I should be putting in (is there one?) to the blood fury cast so that it only does the bloodfury part if it's available and skips it if not instead of spamming my screen with "Ability is not ready yet" errors.

Anyone know this offhand?

This is kind of a silly post, does that "Ability is not ready yet." flashing on the top of your screen seriously annoy you THAT much? I don't believe there is a [nocooldown] modifier out there. But i do believe there are addons that will get rid of the red text flashing at the top of your screen for you. Might want to go look for one of those.

There is no way macro or even addon that will cast based on if cooldown is up or not. Blizzard removed this ability years ago.

This is a common issue with folks who have macro's that /use trinkets before spell casting. Turn off the error voice in sound options and download errormonster to hide the error messages. There is a command that will hide the errors and you can put it in the macro but I love ErrorMonster and use it as much as possible.

The chime sound is another issue entirely there are ways to shut that off as well.

silent trinkets ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=10757&highlight=')

only problem I have with it is the limit of 255 characters on the average macro and it's a lot of overhead.
maybe you can use one of the addons like bindpad or trinity that do their own macros that are longer than 255 characters, trinity didn't exactly like this macro for some reason so I gave up on trinity.
