Very interesting.. Am I right in thinking this is basically a macro within a macro?
If so, it might now be possible to do a few other nifty things that would normally cause your macro to fail.

Maybe it would be a way to include those nifty spells with long cool downs into a castsequence?

I'll have to play around with this tonight. :thumbsup:
That's what I'm thinking too, but I have a feeling anything that fake-starts a GCD is going to trip it just like any other inline macro.

The wowwiki writeup on /cast was basically "use this if your macro is greater than 255 characters". So I suppose that's the intention of /cast. *shrug* I'd try it and see, though.

Or have one button that presses 5-10 decurse macros that decurse a different character?
My /follow key on my aff warlock (felhunter) goes...
/cast [target=focus,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [target=party1,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [target=player,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [target=party2,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [target=party3,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [target=party4,help,nodead] Devour Magic
Of course, it's a pet skill so it doesn't really put ME in the GCD which (I thought) was the reason why I could spam it and it would work. Pets seem to work on this weird near-queue system. For example, I can spam "intercept" on a felguard and even if it takes him a while to reach the target, he WILL eventually intercept it when in range. Once the pet actually hits a point where someone has a debuff he can devour, he stops there and I'd imagine the subsequent queued casts would just result in "spell not ready yet" for the pet once that happened.

I think /click wouldn't work for dispelling multiple targets because any /cast throws you in a "fake" GCD such that the subsequent casts "aren't ready yet". Trinkets work because trinkets don't trip the GCD. /Assist works because /assist doesn't trip the GCD.

I know for certain this doesn't work
/cast [target=player] Dispel Magic
/cast [target=party1,help,nodead] Dispel Magic
Even if "player" doesn't have a debuff to dispel. So I'd imagine even the /click wouldn't work, because you'd /click on /cast [target=player] Dispel Magic, hit a fake GCD, then hit /cast [target=party1,help,nodead] Dispel Magic and it "wouldn't be ready yet".

It's worth some investigation, but even if it works I'd be careful about asking for confirmation from the GMs before using something that clearly doesn't work when it's in a "normal" macro.
