Macro Fire Nova vs. Chain Lightning

[Mallaen]

Hello,

is there a way to create a macro to do the following?

IF there is a Fire Totem out, CAST Fire Nova. If there isn't a Fire Totem out, cast Chain Lightning.

Thanks for any advice!

I would think something like

/cast Fire Nova
/cast Chain Lightning

may work, since if there's a fire totem active then it would do a nova. The only thing I can think that would make it not work was the fact you get an error when there's not a fire totem out, so it may stop the macro.

that doesnt work.. :( does anyone else have an idea?

I didn't think it would. Bliz wants you to decide which one to use then, since they don't allow if/then type macros.

What about something like:

/castsequence reset=Fire Nova,
/cast Chain Lightning

You can do what you're trying but not in combat. If...Then...Else statements tied to spells/abilities are protected while in combat, specifically to prevent this kind of automation.

Macros cannot use logic anymore, this was removed at the launch of Burning Crusade.
However, Zappy's approach will be fairly close to what you want.

Fire Nova will only fire off, if you have a Fire Totem out.

Maybe something like:
/castsequence reset=2 Fire Nova,Null
/cast Chain Lightning
