Lightning Bolt Spam Macro

I currently use this as my bolt spam macro: basically it targets the focustarget and stops the macro if its not a valid enemy, otherwise it pops dps trinkets in slot (whatever is not on cooldown), then casts lightning bolt at the focustargtet - theres some other stuff in there to disable the annoying error message and sound in the process if the spell/trinket is not ready:

Code:

---

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/target focustarget
/stopmacro [noexists][noharm][dead]
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Lightning Bolt
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

---

What I'd like to do is add in a cast sequence instead of just the lightning bolt. For example, so I can stagger bolts and interlace a downranked healing wave on the focustargettarget. Any thoughts on how to do that.. I've tried some variations but can never get it working right. Something on the lines of:

/castsequence LightningBolt,[target=focustargettarget,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave(Rank 6)

Problems are:

1. The stopmacro kicks in if the target is friendly, might just have to remove that bit but would prefer to keep it in to prevent premature trink-ulation.
2. What happens if the sequence is on the heal but the target is dead etc, is there someway of just falling back to the lightningbolt in that case? Not quite sure how conditionals work with cast sequences.
3. Adding in any extra macro code and its too long, would prefer not to have to switch my whole UI to using trinitybars to get longer macros.

Failed cast "noise" - Removal?[/url]

I would use that method for the sound issue...

2. Then:

Code:

---

/use 13
/use 14
/cast [harm][target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt
/cast [noharm][target=focustarget] lesser healing wave

You can add in the UI removal of the error message if you want. Up to you. Everything else is just un-needed fluff. The cooldown on trinkets is no biggie. Also trinkets can buff your heals as well, so why not? :)

#1 Nice... replacing wave sound file. I'll try that.

The macro though is not quite what I'm trying to do. What I'm trying to achieve is to alternate between lightning bolt and healing wave (or 4 LB then LHW) - there should be no target switching required at all to prevent the lag issue when switching targets. So basically, if you stragger the healing wave across 5 shamans in a cast sequence you can just spam your lightning bolt and 1 or 2 shamans (depending on how its sequenced) will toss a heal to whoever is being damaged at that time OR just dps the focustarget. If that makes sense.

Maybe:

Code:

---

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence [target=focustarget,harm] Lightning Bolt,[target=focustargettarget,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave(Rank 6)
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Edited my post with an example, but can't try it at the moment - at work.

One sure fire method would be to use THREE keys on your keyboard, and do this:
Then just push the three keys in order. 1... 2... 3... "repeat"

I think with the Keyclone round-robin feature you could get something better to work.

lol .. the piece of wood idea is looking better and better.

Roight I'm not sure if this will work but here goes

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/use [target=focustarget,harm] 13
/use [target=focustarget,harm] 14
/castrandom [target=focustarget,harm] Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt; [target=focustargettarget,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()


U'll notice I removed the (Rank6) cos otherwise it goes over the character limit :S although you could use a /userandom [target=focustarget,harm] 13, 14 instead of lines 2 and 3 to save some space and downrank :)

so:

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/userandom [target=focustarget,harm] 13, 14
/castrandom [target=focustarget,harm] Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt; [target=focustargettarget,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave(Rank6)
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()


I rly hope this works for ya :)

the reason I added 2 lightning bolts and one LHW is simply cos you seem to still want this as a dps macro :).. if you want to dillute it even further I recommend you place this macro only on 2 of your clones :)

Edit: I just realised an advantage of a castrandom macro in this case, over a sequence.. in a random.. it will always try to cast one or the other, and when the conditions for one are not met, it will exclusively cast the other.

what I mean by this is:

if your target is a Friendly..

A sequence won't cast until one LB has been fired off.. as it would be in front of the heal in the sequence
A random will cast a random spell, but only on those on which the conditions are met. so if you target a friendly it will always just heal that friendlies target. if you target a enemy, it will randomise the casting between LB and healing the enemies target.

that's provided I got the macro right ofc

EDIT2: well just tested it and it seems to work, but only when i remove the rank.. i dunno why but i never get them to work properly with ranks :S

Great! I'll try this out later, as for the ranks-I had that problem too, you have to type them exactly. "Lesser Healing Wave(Rank 6)"

Notice there is no space between the opening bracket, and there is a space after "Rank".

ah hehe that'll be why :) gl with the macro tho :) is that more or less what you were looking for? or would you like it more specific?
