Help with mind flay in cast sequence macro please!

[Galactica]

Hey guys,

I run 4 70's, Prot pally, Shadow Priest, Warlock, Boomkin with a 5th Healer being a friend in my pve setup. My problem is with my shadow priests cast sequence macro. At the moment when i keep spamming my attack button to have my 3 dps cycle through there cast sequences, when the shadow priest gets to its mind flay it will cancel half way through when i press my dps button again and start the next spell in the sequence. As i use 3-4 mind flay's in my cast sequence, this adds up to alot of wasted mana and maybe dps.

Here is an example of my cast sequence, not exact as the servers are down for me to check them

/assists main

/castsequence reset=24/combat/target Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Embrace, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Shadow Word: Death, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay

Any tips would be appreciated.

/cast [nochanneling] Mind Flay


is what ur looking for. that condition prevents you from casting anything in that macro if you are already channelling a spell..

so urs would be

/assist Main
/castsequence reset=24/combat/target [nochanneling] Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Embrace, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Shadow Word: Death, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay

i think

[nochanneling] didn't work for me with a castsequence.

/stopmacro [channeling] may work as a first line.

[nochanneling] didn't work for me with a castsequence.

Try

/castsequence reset=##/target/combat [nochanneling:name of channeling spell] spell name, spell name, spell name, channeling spell name

I think that will work

Thanks for the replies guys.

Here is my macro

/assist retitan
/castsequence reset=15/target/combat Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Embrace, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Shadow Word: Death, Mind Flay, Mind Flay

When i add both your suggestions, it works but another problem comes up. It does not reset on new target or out of combat anymore.

hmm weird... there seems to be nothing wrong with your syntax.

can I make a suggestion though, use

/castsequence [target=retitan-target,nochannelling:Mind Flay] reset=15/target/combat Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Embrace, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Shadow Word: Death, Mind Flay, Mind Flay

in PVP it can be advantageous as the intended target won't see that character as having him targetted (80% chance) :)
