Now that my team has formed and hit lv 19/20, I realize it is time for some small macro refinement.

I have my 4 Taurun Shammy's STOMP talent all on the same key so all fire stomp at the same time. This wastes it and I would like to make only 1 cast it at a time.

Is there a way to do this via macro instead of having it all bound to the " =" key?

How can I also cast sequence the tremor totems so I can get out of the sleep, fear and sheep earlier?

Thanks,

Yeah, just substitute the name of whatever spell you want. Just to make sure, it is "War Stomp", not just "Stomp"

alright cool I will write the macro and give it a go.
Just one more question about macros then....

When do the macros reset? If I press Z (for my war stomp macro) and the first char completes the war stomp and 10 seconds later another Mod comes to the battle and I press Z again, will the first char try to stomp or will the 2nd char stomp? Or do I have to press the Z twice now to get another stomp off?

With abilities like this which are available only every 2 mins, I will want to ensure I keep track of how many time I need to press the macro key to get the ability to fire. :twisted:

The will only reset after the key has been hit 5 times.


I actually use a reset of 3 seconds for my tremor totems, not sure what you would use for warstom.

/cast reset=3 tremor totem,,,,

etc...

Hmm I have having trouble.



This does not work
/cast Stoneclaw totem,,,



but this does work


/cast Stoneclaw totem

for some reason the commas do not work in my macros. Any ideas? It will not even cast with the commas.

Try:
/castsequence reset=120 War Stomp,,,,
etc.

If you hit the button within 2 minutes of the last time you hit the button, it will just move to the next toon and cast it for them (since their macro will be at the same position). If you don't hit the button for 2 minutes, it will set back to being toon1's turn. The result being that toon5 will rarely ever cast it. I use this with Frost Nova, and it works great.

Just replace the spell name and change the reset time to the cooldown of frostnova.

Sorry for bringing this thread back to life, but i have a question about castsequences on Totems.
Im using the following macro on my main an slaves:
/castsequence [nomodifier] reset=15 Earthbind Totem,,,
/cast [mod:shift] Stoneskin Totem
/cast [mod:alt] Stoneclaw Totem
Moved the "Earthbind Totem" between the commas on slaves etc.
But when i tried to make the following macro it didn't work:
/castsequence [nomodifier] reset=15 Earthbind Totem,,,
/castsequence [mod:shift] Stoneskin Totem,,,
/cast [mod:alt] Stoneclaw Totem

And moved the Moved the "Stoneskin Totem" between the commas on slaves etc.
Pressing Shift and the button wouldn't cast Stoneskin on first my main, then slave 1, 2 etc. They all casted it on the same time, when pressing it again slave 2+3 casted it, then again main + slave 1 casted it, and this just keeps going round and round, it's never Main, 1, 2, 3. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Another hijack......

I can't seem to get this to work:

/assist focus
/castsequence [target=focus-target] Lesser Healing Wave,,,,

/assist focus
/castsequence [target=focus-target] ,Lesser Healing Wave,,,

/assist focus
/castsequence [target=focus-target] ,,Lesser Healing Wave,,

/assist focus
/castsequence [target=focus-target] ,,,Lesser Healing Wave,

/assist focus
/castsequence [target=focus-target] ,,,,Lesser Healing Wave

What happens is the first one goes off with the first key press, then I press 4 more times and rather than going off in sequence, the 4 clones all go off at the 4th press. I think I set the macro up correctly and it should go in sequence but it isn't.

Edit: Actually, sometimes all 5 go off after the 4th or 5th press. Hmmm, I'm doing something wronf but I don't see what. I used the same type of macro for warstomp and tremoe totem and it works just fine."[target=focus-target]" is the only difference really.
