AutoMacro discussion

[haxxie]

Could anyone make a macro for some hunter grinding? ;D

[xdariuzx]

been a while since i played on my hunter so would you care to elaborate what you want the macro to do?

[haxxie]

just the basic pet attack,autoshoot,steadyshot, and spam aimed when it's up.

[xdariuzx]

well i cant test this atm, but just spamming

/petattack
/ifcast Aimed Shot
/cast Aimed Shot
/end
/castsequence Steady Shot,Auto Shot

not really that familiar with hunter spells and rotations and how to squezze in auto shot

if you wanna try /castsequence reset=target Auto Shot,Steady Shot

[dalgreens]

Any shaman macro available?

[Vladinator]

Anyone tested on PTR to see if it's fixed? perhaps you should.. :P

Also just as a note.. Aimed Shot in a rotation ain't good at all, Autoshot + Steadyshot = real hunter DPS (ye, add BM spec on top too for more dps from the pet :P) - Aimedshot is too slow to cast and does less damage than you fitting in 2 steady shots

[Painkiller153]

Anyone make any cool rogue ones? I was trying to make an arena poison macro where it would switch to my other offhand with mind numbing on it and shiv if mindnumbing wasnt on and crip was on, and trying to work out a nice kick macro.

[Vladinator]

Let me rephrase.. if this is fixed in the PTR then there is no point for you to continue making the macros :P That means it will be broken and not usable once the patch goes live! lol..

[xerses]

Vlad is correct, but as long as it last is however nice to take advantage of it imho

Btw tested and working:

/ifcast Stormstrike
/cast Stormstrike
/elseifaddtb Flame Shock
/cast Flame Shock
/else
/cast Earth Shock
/end

For Enhacement Shaman dps rotations and:

/ifcast Fire Nova Totem
/cast Fire Nova Totem
/else
/cast Magma Totem
/end

For a suboptimal Totems AOE... It miss only an "existance" check on FN totem to be perfect

Bye!

P.S.

On the other hand this isn't exactly an "Exploitation" or a "Cheat" and my limited knowledge about the syntax used make me think that it would be quite difficult to block this kinds of subroutines.... At last I hope that. Btw anyone coulde achive something nearly identical with a good programmable keyboard, and that is silently permitted by Blizzard. Hope, hope, hope.

Seems you lot have figured out how to use this alot better then I managed when I tried it a month ago or something. Maybe someone can help me with a rather simple macro request.

It's basically a 1 button destruction macro that I would want to see for lazy mode.

Basically:
Cast curse whenever its not on the target or will expire in 1s or less
Cast immolate whenever its not on the target or will expire in 1s or less
Cast incinerate when none of the above conditions are met

ofc... havent gotten access to it yet so havent been able to try it.

I logged on the PTR and tried it out; I did:

/if UnitMana("player")>50
/cast Shadow Bolt
/else
/if UnitMana("player")<50
/cast Demon Skin
/end

/if UnitMana("player")>50
/cast Shadow Bolt
/end

Both just used Shadow Bolt, no errors tough but yet they ignored and didn't skip the lines I wanted it to skip. We need to hope for a version 9 or something.

well theres a really easy reason as why they both used shadow bolt since UnitMana always returns points, not percent
so im prettry sure you had over 50 mana at all times, no? ^^

try

/if UnitMana("player")<3000
/cast Life Tap
/end
/cast Rain of Fire

It was a level 1 warlock, I had total of 120 something mana, and I know it returns in value and not precent. It stil tried to cast Shadowbolt even on 0 mana so yeah the addon is broken in the next patch.
