Warlock starter insta-gib Macro

[Freakinred]

So I decided to try out 4 warlocks and put m 4 hunters on the backburner (The endless alts begin! I am not prepared!)

Anyway, I came up with this simple yet ridiculously powerful Macro to use with my imps:

/assist focus
/petattack
/cast Shadow Bolt

There is something INCREDIBLY awesome about having 4 shadowbolts and 4 fireballs fly at a target. I had a crowd of about 15 people following me around Goldshire, wanting to watch the light show.

you might want to modify that a little... you won't normally want your imps choosing their own targets

try


/petattack [target=targettartget]
/cast Shadowbolt [target=targettarget]

or if you really want to use assist


/petattack [target=targettartget]
/assist
/cast Shadowbolt

and personally i use focus for my leader so it would be target=focustarget

Yea i made this mistake. Wasn't bad when only one person was in range, but there where 3 mobs in the same area (was doing 2 locks and a priest) My guys attacked the same target and the imps attacked different targets. So long story short i killed all 3 mobs, but almost had a wipe in the starting area.

Warlocks sound so fun.... makes me wanna try out some..

I have a T5/T6 warrior on my main, hmm... Warrior, 3 warlocks and a priest?

Hey, my imps have been doing that occasionally. Now I know how to fix it!

Thanks! :thumbsup:

I usually just do macros like this:

#showtooltip <spell I wanna see data on>
/script SetView(2); SetView(2);
/assist focus
/stopmacro [noharm]
/petattack
...rest of my attack sequence...

Works good and you can just change the assist line to use focus, name, partyx or whatever else without having to change the entire rest of the macros. ;)

Is there a macro that will allow me to re-summon a pet if there is not one, but do nothing if there already is one present? I have 3 locks in my holy trinity DPS squad, and when I lose one pet, I have to resummon that pet manually, whereas when I lose them all, or just rez, etc I have a macro that summons them all (2 voidwalkers and an imp currently at lvl 22)

[Djarid]

you can use the pet: conditional in your macro options e.g.


/cast [nopet:imp] Summon Imp

also useful for pet-centric actions


/cast [pet:Voidwalker] Sacrifice; [pet:Succubus] Seduction; [pet:Felhunter] Spell Lock; [pet:Felguard] Intercept; [pet:Doomguard] War Stomp
