Rogue Equipped Macro

[Aradar]

I'm trying to do the following macro:

/cast [equipped:dagger,stealth] ambush
/cast [stealth] garrote
/cast backstab

Problem is if I have a dagger in the off hand slot, it considers that a dagger equipped for macro purposes and makes ambush the spell of choice though ambush only works if a dagger is the main hand. So is there any way to make this equipment check apply only to the main hand?

Thanks.

I haven't seen any way to check a specific hand with just a macro, though it may be possible using scripting. I just haven't done any scripting in WoW macros before.

One possible improvement you might consider as a stop-gap solution is [noequipped:Swords] or whatever else you may also tend to use to at least not even try ambush if a sword is equipped in either hand. Not ideal, but at least ensures you don't simply get a "You can't do that." response by spamming the macro.

The [equipped] flag is pretty dumb, and doesn't let you discriminate between hands. Maybe they'll improve on that in the future.

This use to work. I do not play my dual wield character anymore so I am not sure if its broken.

/equipslot 16 [ExactWeaponNameHere]
/equipslot 17 [ExactWeaponNameHere]

Update: According to Wowwiki this still works. http://www.wowwiki.com/HOWTO:_Make_a_Macro#Equipping_items

I'm not sure that's what he's trying to do Fizzler. I think he wants a certain spell to cast if a certain weapon is equipped, another if not.

I really need to pay more attention this is the second time in as many days that I misread a post.

Try this.

/cast [noequipped:Sword] Ambush; /cast [equipped:Sword] Garrote

I am reaching here.... need to ponder this.

Of course I can't log on now but I went with something like:

/cast [equipped:dagger,stealth] ambush
/cast [stealth,mod:ctrl] garrote
/cast backstab

I guess I could go with Fizzler's idea of:


/cast [noequipped:Sword] Ambush; /cast [equipped:Sword] Garrote

but then I'd have to list Swords, Maces, Fist Weapons and Axes.

As we all do, I was hoping to get something I wouldn't have to adjust all the time so I'll try listing them all and see how it works.

Thanks for the help.
