Spell Rotation

[herrschmit]

Hi Guys,

right now I am Boxing a group of a Healadin and Fury Warriors and ever since about Level 20 I got so much skills I wanted to use with my Warriors that fighting got a bit complicated after all wile Healing them so I figured why not make life more easy with some macros ... and you have to know i stopped playing wow back in tbc so my Informations and Knowledge about macros is a bit rusty ....

so here is were my problem begins ... i had the idea of a cast sequence macro with was like this:

castsequence= charge, thunderclap, rend, overpower, etc ...

my problem now is that when using another macro like my dps macro (bloodthirst, heroic strike) the other one seems to reset and try to start from the beginning but wouldn't skip charge ... another problem is that i wanted to do the other spells like overpower as soon as they are ready! i begin to think that cast sequence isn't the right kind of macro for my need but i don't know anything about macros and the information database even in this forum is so scary huge i don't even know were to start looking without knowing what i exactly want

the idea of what i need is like

(do if possible else skip) charge,
(do if possible else skip) overpower,
(do if not still active else skip) thunderclap,
(do if not still active else skip) rend

is something like that possible and if yes please tell me how to do or were exactly to find

edit: and another macro i am looking for is one were every charge on its own button push does a spell like char 1 do earth strike char 2 do earth strike and i was thinking like this

castsequence= earthstrike, , , ,
castsequence= , earthstrike , , ,
castsequence= , , earthstrike , ,
will that work?

thanks guys

Combat macros can never decide what to cast for you. They can not cast X based on if Y is active/on cooldown/etc or not. They can't decide to skip a spell in a sequence if it is not possible to use it.

If you have a reset conditional in a macro {IE reset=whatever} then, you're probably meeting that conditional. Take it out or use another type, such as reset=combat.

Using commas in castsequences has been gone for a while now. You will need to set up round robin casting in your multiboxing program to be able to have one toon cast, then the second and down the line.

The majority of people are now using "steps" or "toggles" which is basically another form of round-robin casting, but rather than it going from toon to toon per press, it goes from a castsequence or single spell per press on every toon.

How this works will depend on what you are using for your multiboxing program.

One thing I've noticed in recent macros is situations like:

/castsequence spell1, spell2, spell3
/cast spell4

As I understand it, hitting the button will try to cast spell4 if it can, but if it's on cooldown/etc, then it will do the cast sequence.
