Fantastic post!

Thanks bro.

Thanks Viral, I'll be testing tonight.

Good luck! The good thing is that as a hunter if the macro doesn't work, you can just send your pet in, turn on autoshot, and then AFK to still do 80% of your damage anyway!

It's controlled by the variables...not the ordering of hte lines...this will change the 9-second cooldowns to be CONS->HS->JoW:

Do you have luaninja installed?

haha thought i made that pretty clear, yes i do and yes it works perfectly. just still not having luck with getting the affliction macro to do anything at all, can anyone else confirm it works besides flyby?

I'll test the one on the front page when I'm at wow machine.

flyby

Prefer "Viral" over "flyby"...

haha, Viral*

[Jotylyn]

Affliction macro works fine. It obviously wont work on the lvl 80 dummies they have 1 health and the boss ones I believe are at 99999k? Youll either need to adjust the HP variables to much lower to test on a boss dummy or just jump into a raid.

+rep for the thread great work

[Blehbot]

I recommend health check rather than level check on target...some trash in ICC has tons of health so might as well use cooldowns. =p Heck, Readiness is only 3 mins anyway.

Also, when I get to it, I'll actually just check the actual cast time of Steady Shot and use that for your last part...That way it's correct accounting for all buffs including Bloodlust. =)

The reason I was going to check remaining cooldown time is because hunters GCD cannot drop below 1.5 seconds. I agree on the health check I just always want my readiness/rapid fire up at the start of a boss fight since I can Rapid/Readiness/Rapid then both should be back up by the end of most boss fights to use again.

That won't work...you're missing the "if" at the beginning.

What that will do is use if the target's CURRENT health is over 1MM. If you want to use no matter what the current health is as long as the target's maximum health was over 1MM, do this:

/run if GetSpellCooldown("Readiness")==0 and UnitHealthMax("target")>1000000 then CastSpellByName("Readiness") end

Would this work to also do a check and only click readiness after Rapid Fire has been used?

/run if GetSpellCooldown("Readiness")==0 and UnitHealthMax("target")>1000000 and GetSpellCooldown("Rapid Fire")>0 then CastSpellByName("Readiness") end

Sorry to clutter up your thread Viral awsome work on the macros so far.

...is because hunters GCD cannot drop below 1.5 seconds.

You insult me sir by assuming I would not check for GCD cap!

Would this work to also do a check and only click readiness after Rapid Fire has been used?

/run if GetSpellCooldown("Readiness")==0 and UnitHealthMax("target")>1000000 and GetSellCooldown("Rapid Fire")>0 then CastSpellByName("Readiness") end

Sell != Spell =)

Yes that should work...but you're better off saying ~=0 for not equal 0 rather than >0. This is because GetSpellCooldown doesn't actually return the cooldown time remaining...I think it will work either way but I'd feel safer doing not equal 0 rather than greater than 0.

On that note though...should you not also check that you currently have Rapid Fire? So like this...

/run if GetSpellCooldown("Readiness")==0 and UnitHealthMax("target")>1000000 and GetSpellCooldown("Rapid Fire")~=0 and not UnitBuff("player","Rapid Fire") then CastSpellByName("Readiness") end

Sorry to clutter up your thread Viral awsome work on the macros so far.

Never any worries...glad I can help. =)

Ok, was playing around at work trying to build something that should work tonight.

/run if UnitExists("pet") and UnitHealth("pet")/UnitHealthMax("pet")<0.35 and IsUsableSpell("Mend Pet")==1 and UnitBuff("pet", "Mend Pet")==nil then RunMacroText("/cast Mend Pet") end

1. Uses Tranqilizing Shot on Icemaw and Deathwhisper adds if needed.
2. Uses Call of the Wild when you get Bloodlust - For the Horde, change to Heroism if ally.
3. Uses Aspect of the Viper if less than 1k mana.
4. Uses Aspect of the Dragonhawk when above 8k mana.
5. Uses Trueshot Aura if you don't have it or one of the similar buff falls off. Thx Blehbot
6. Keeps Serpent Sting on target.
7. Heals pet if it's under 35% health and in range.
8. Uses Kill Command on cd.
9. Uses Furious Howl on cd. - Wolf pet only, remove line if not using a wolf.
10. Uses Silencing Shot on cd.
11. Uses Engineer hand enchant. Remove if not Engineer.
12. Uses Rapid Fire on any target that has 2 million+ total health and 500k health remaining and you do not have the buff.
13. Uses Kill Shot, Chimera Shot & Aimed shot on cd.
14. Uses Readiness on any target that has 1 million+ total health and you have the Rapid Fire buff.
15. Uses Hunter's Mark if not on any target that has more than 1million total and total health of 500k+.
16. Uses steady Shot.

The red can be changed to have less/more use of selected abilities.

I'll be testing it tonight, thanks again to Viral & Elitetech for the help with this.

I am also trying to add a line that will use Berserking only when Readiness is on cd and I don't have the Rapid Fire buff. I'll try and figure that out when I get home from work.

Edit - I have tested this on the training dummies and it works great, going to give it a try tonight in raid and see how it handles there.

[Blehbot]

You insult me sir by assuming I would not check for GCD cap!

Not at all I'm just swiming in uncharted waters for myself and thought it would be easier to check this way since I know its a hard number.

Sell != Spell =)

Yes that should work...but you're better off saying ~=0 for not equal 0 rather than >0. This is because GetSpellCooldown doesn't actually return the cooldown time remaining...I think it will work either way but I'd feel safer doing not equal 0 rather than greater than 0.

Ok I understand, that makes alot of sence. It stumps me on how to do a cooldown check for the steady shot part I want to do if it doesnt report time remaining so I may have to wait for your macro there.

On that note though...should you not also check that you currently have Rapid Fire? So like this...

/run if GetSpellCooldown("Readiness")==0 and UnitHealthMax("target")>1000000 and GetSpellCooldown("Rapid Fire")~=0 and not UnitBuff("player","Rapid Fire") then CastSpellByName("Readiness") end

Yes the rapid fire buff check is going to be needed as well. I am going to also add that to the rapid fire part of the macro as well.

EDIT. Come to think of it I dont want Rediness to wait on the rapid fire buff to fall off I want it to fire right after so its comes off cooldown faster so the buff check on Rapid fire should be good enough.

[Viral Fly-by]

It stumps me on how to do a cooldown check for the steady shot part I want to do if it doesnt report time remaining so I may have to wait for your macro there.

I'm working on something that will make your life much easier...but for now, you do this:

/run local cd={GetSpellCooldown("MY SPELL")}; if cd[1]==0 then cd=0 else cd=cd[1]+cd[2]-GetTime() end;

After that, the variable "cd" will contain the amount of time left on the cooldown in seconds.

Then if you want the cast time for something (adjusted for haste), you use GetSpellInfo like this:

/run local ct=({GetSpellCooldown("MY SPELL")})[7]/1000;

After that, ct will contain the cast time...so for your steady shot, you can just add after that "if ct<1.5 then ct=1.5 end" to cap it.

[Viral Fly-by]

Getting time in seconds until spell is off cooldown:

/run local cd={GetSpellCooldown("MY SPELL")}; if cd[1]==0 then cd=0 else cd=cd[1]+cd[2]-GetTime() end;

After that, the variable "cd" will contain the amount of time left on the cooldown in seconds.

Getting cast time in seconds of a spell (adjusted for haste/buffs):

/run local ct=({GetSpellCooldown("MY SPELL")})[7]/1000;

After that, ct will contain the cast time...this does not account for GCD cap.

As an aside, this is the kind of stuff I was going to put into the Miscellaneous post on the first page...what do you guys think? I was also thinking of starting a new thread for "Lua Tidbits and How-tos" for this kind of information. In that case, I would use the Miscellaneous post in this thread for some smaller macros or parts of macros such as dispelling, using trinkets, buffing, etc.

Thoughts?

[Blehbot]

Yes Viral a how to would be awsome. This thread is the first one I read through that really helped me understand what everything was doing. Being a complete novice I would say you helped a ton.

Exactly this, 2 weeks ago I would have looked at this stuff and been lost, now I can at least understand some of the basics, and attempt to create macros that work.
