Holy crap! Switch Action Bars??

[dancook]

I just tried this

/cast ardent defender
/changeactionbar 2

it cast ardent defender then switch to action bar 2...

Then i went back and clicked it because ardent defender isn't ready... and it still switched to action bar 2..

So i'm going to see if i can use mercurio's macros whilst popping the dps and proc on action bars 1 and 2, and switching between them at the end of each macro!

Whaddya think??! :D

It might be a way to use two-step wow macros, without IS Boxer or HKN.

It seems to work! for my paladin

Which addon can break the 255 macro limit? so I can stick it on my shaman!

SuperDuperMacro (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info10496-SuperDuperMacro.html) will break that limit. make sure you install the most recent patch file. Keep us posted on how it works with Mercurio's 2-step macros. I use "the other site's MB application" and this has been a struggle.

I made these macros and it seems to be working


/tar party1
/tar raid1
/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence [@targettarget] reset=combat/8 Flame Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Chain Lightning,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock,Lightning Bolt,Chain Lightning,Lightning Bolt
/use 13
/cast Elemental Mastery
/changeactionbar 2



/tar party1
/tar raid1
/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence [@targettarget] reset=combat/8 Call of the Elements,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Searing Totem,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst
/use 14
/cast Thunderstorm
/changeactionbar 1


I just replicate my actionbar 1 and 2 to mirror each other except where the dps/proc keys are - are alternated.

Just completed violet hold with this setup, simple as pie!

I have used something like this in the past with 3 macros, I am at work so the syntax may not be exact but the idea is the same. It works good for keeping all your macros in the wow client and keeping them shorter.

Macro 1 (this is the one i spam for dps)
/assist TANK NAME HERE
/use [combat] 13
/use [combat] 14
/use [combat] Elemental Mastery
/click ActionButton12
/swapactionbar 1 2

Macro 2 (this is on page 1 action button 12)
/castsequence Flame Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt

Macro 3 (this is on page 2 action button 12
/castsequence Call of the Elements,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Searing Totem,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst

Have you tried hotkeynet ? I use the other mboxing tool too and it solved many of my problems

[katsurahama]

Ive tried multiple keyboards wih no programs, keyclone, and isboxer. Nothing compares to isboxer. Its THREE dollars a month. For all the flexibility it offers and all the headaches it saves you its more than worth it. In my opinion, anyway.

[Multibocks]

yeah I have IS, guess I'll just set it up

I think Dancook might be onto something here. :)

Question - how often does it change the action bars? With each key press? Or after every GCD?

If you mash the macro key, does it evenly progress through each macro or is it kind of random which macro ends up being called? I.e. could it potentially end up being FS-LB-LB-LB-LB-Totems-LB-LB-LvB-etc, or does it always execute FS-Totems-LB-LvB-LB-LB-LB-LB-etc

Cheers,
S.

Every key press, even if it's unable to complete the macro conditions above due to GCD etc... it changes without fail.

Tested and adopted for my dualboxed enh shamies :D This setup works like a charm.

Unfortunately, superdupermacro seems to be broken. I tried applying latest "fix" (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info18334-SuperDuperMacroWoW4.xfix3.html), without more luck. Now I'm gonna try Clickmacros as suggested by Mercurio (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=33870) (yes I only noticed this part of his post after I ran into troubles with SDM :o )
