Utilizing /click to run concurrent castsequences

[Stealthy]

Hi all,

Here's my one button spam for Ret pallies:

Macro 1:

/assist focus
/startattack
/stopcasting
/click MultiBarLeftButton1
/click MultiBarLeftButton2
/click MultiBarLeftButton3
/click MultiBarLeftButton4
/click MultiBarLeftButton5

I'm using a focus setup, but you can easily change it for an FTL setup. Note you can use different click commands depending on where you are putting the other 5 macros:

ActionButton# = Main Bar
BonusActionButton# = Dynamic bar that switches actions based on Druid Forms, Warrior Stances, and Rogue Stealth
MultiBarBottomLeftButton# = Bottom Left Bar
MultiBarBottomRightButton# = Bottom Right Bar
MultiBarRightButton# = Right Bar
MultiBarLeftButton# = Right Bar 2 (to the left of "Right Bar")
PetActionButton# = Pet Bar
ShapeshiftButton# = Druid Forms, Paladin Auras, Warrior Stances, Death Knight Presences, Rogue Stealth


The /stopcasting is there for exorcism and art of war procs...since excorcism now has a cast time, if the macro is called it starts to cast it, and art of war hasn't proc'd, the next button press will stop the cast. If art of war has proc'd however, it will be instant cast and the macro will go ahead. This macro will also cast Hammer of Wrath when the mob falls below 20% health. You can sub in Flash of Light for Exorcism if you want heals instead of dps. You can also macro in Consecration if facing multiple mobs (although this tends to chew through mana).

Here are the rest of the macros that get called from the /click functions:

Macro 2:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=8/combat judgement of wisdom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Insert whatever judgement is appropriate.

Macro 3:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=10/combat Divine Storm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,

Macro 4:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=4/combat Crusader Strike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Macro 5:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=15/combat Exorcism,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,

Macro 6:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=6/combat Hammer of Wrath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


Note - there aren't supposed to be spaces inbetween the commas, it just 'appears' that way in my posts.

I'll post my prot pally macro when I get home (at work now).

Let me know if you have any questions...

Cheers,
S.

BTW, I got my /click setup pretty good and it made such a huge difference I was able to clear UK today! I also downed that crazy spit monster Erk in Gundrak yesterday. Looks like I am going to be able to start getting more emblems a day. Can't wait to finish pve gearing so I can start working on the pvp sets.

Thanks!

Do we still need /click?

I remember the reason for it originally was multiple castsequences in one macro would bug out, and not remember their positions correctly. Has this been fixed since then?

I just built a macro for my shammies based on the one Fursphere posted that involves something like this (all in one macro using macaroon):

/castsequence [harm] reset=combat/3 flame shock,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [harm] reset=combat/3 lava burst,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [harm] reset=combat/3 chain lightning,,,,,,,,
/cast [harm] lightning bolt; [help] lesser healing wave

This seems to work fine, without needing /clicks to call separate macros.

The benefit of using /click is that it makes the 255 char limit of WoW macros less of an issue. Macaroon gets around the 255 char limit as well...but not eveyone wants to use an addon to do this. Also by not using an addon you have less chance of running into a problem after a patch, unless Blizz themselves change the functionality (actually I don't think Macaroon has been updated for 3.2 yet?).

/click isn't meant to be the only solution...it just gives you another option.

Hi all,

Here's my one button spam for Prot pallies:

Macro 1:

/cast [nocombat] divine plea
/startattack
/click MultiBarLeftButton1
/click MultiBarLeftButton2
/click MultiBarLeftButton3
/click MultiBarLeftButton5
/click MultiBarLeftButton6
/click MultiBarLeftButton7

Basically I start spamming this just before entering combat make sure divine plea is up and running as soon as I hit combat. Once I'm actually in combat, that line of the macro is skipped.

Here are the rest of the macros that get called from the /click functions:

Macro 2:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=8/combat judgement of light,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Insert whatever judgement is appropriate.

Macro 3:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=6/combat Hammer of the Righteous,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Macro 4:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=8/combat holy shield,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,

Macro 5:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=6combat Shield of Righteousness,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Macro 6:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=8/combat Consecration,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,

Macro 7:
#showtooltip Cleanse
/cast Cleanse

Note - there aren't supposed to be spaces inbetween the commas, it just 'appears' that way in my posts.

I set cleanse as the last macro instead of Hammer of Wrath, since I find myself using cleanse much more during boss fights. I have a another button macro'd for all pallies to cleanse each other as well if necessary.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
S

Hey Stealthy, I noticed you did not have sacred shield in your click macros? you have that on a separate button?
