Examples of Classic Wow Macros

[Zal]

You can use this to see the frame/button name - just make it as a marco and put in on your action bar



My retail accept all marco - not tested on classic (LFG/LFD is not in classic)


EMA have build in trade

Seems that you can't easily trade gold with a macro. GetName got nothing for that popup button....

Thank you for opening my eyes to this. I was so dead set on GSE that I pretty much abandoned regular macros.

/castsequence reset=target Flamestrike, arcane explosion, arcane explosion, arcane explosion, arcane explosion

This is what I made. It resets before I cast 5 arcane explosions alot of the time, but it's a start. I gotta figure out how to add an 8 sec reset on top of the reset combat.

It was confusing GSE with the casting and non casting abilities together.

Next I need to work on my buff macros.

Instead of working on your buff macro there is a addon called Smartbuffs, very easy to set up !

You can make macros that function like this, with probably more flexibility, inside isboxer itself. You can achieve this via keymaps and steps.

For example, if you want to create that cast sequence macro, but have it be less rigid, you could do it like this.

Make a keymap for flamestrike, have it have 1 step, just cast flamestrike as you would normally set it up.

In step one, have it cast flamestrike. In step 2, tick the box "do not pass" for X number of seconds box, to force it to stay on this step, and have this be where your arcane explosion spam is. Then under advanced, tick the box reset to step 1 after 8-10-whatever seconds, after first keypress.

This will give you essentially the exact functionality you want. Your first keypress will do step 1, which will be flame strike, it will then move to step 2, where it will be locked for the next X number of seconds, or until the entire thing resets due to the timer you placed on it in the advanced option. If you want to give yourself some wiggle room for missing the first cast, you could also lock the first step to not progress for say 1.5s or 2s or whatever, so if one mage moves, you can recast without missing it.

You can also do stuff like, have a keymap that calls other keymaps, and those keymaps have this sort of timer based functionality built into them. So, for example, say you're playing warriors and you're want a REALLY lazy DPS spam hotkey. You eventually accumulate too much rage to spend on just whirlwind and mortal strike or blood thirst, so you want to bleed some rage off once in awhile. So you make a hotkey that has say, 2 steps. Step 1 does heroic strike, or sunder armor, and is active for 2s. Step 2 has NO actions, but is locked for 10s. This means everytime you hit your DPS spam key, once every 10s, heroic strike can be used, maximum.

Can't get this to work with party wide buffs unfortunately

Are you sure you changed the party options? You have to select 'Party' in the drop down to set those options (and others), otherwise you're just doing solo.

By party wide buffs I meant Prayer of fortitude, arcane brilliance and the like, and I can't get those to work no matter the selected mode

I don't have Isboxer. I do everything the hard way through HotKeyNet. Is Party Wide Buffs only for Isboxer? I know it's far superior, but I cannot spend any money, ATM.

Ahh. I don't use anything for party wide buffs. I just have a hotkey bound and use it via clique.
