    [Help] Macro issue

    hello, i'm not quite sure you have heard this one but ill try anyway.

    so i am using different macros to uppdate the tooltip/icon of the 3 talent choices in each tier such as tier1 containing /cast ability1 ability2 ability3 along with a getspellinfo macro to uppdate this according to what one i currently have.

    now to my problem, as i have this on every talent tree(it is working flawlessly on my other chars) it seems to uppdate/work normal, to 3seconds later return to the error icon(red question mark) and uppdate wheen i click it again to repeat this, i have deleted my wtf/cache, but since it works on my other chars its really weird.

    and by random i found out that if i am dead(in ghost) the macro works, but once i ressurect it goes back to the loop, i have no addons on / installed and i need your help.

    bellow is a example of my tier4 macro for warlock.

    #showtooltip
    /cast Blood Horror
    /cast Burning Rush
    /cast Unbound Will
    /run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell("Tier4", G"Blood Horror" or G"Burning Rush" or G"Unbound Will")

    there is nothing wrong with the code, just macro api seems to be broken on my warlock(on two macros tier2 and tier 4)

    here is a gif recording of the macro in action, as you can see it does work and loops back into not working.

    /cast [no mod] Howl of Terror
    /cast [no mod] Mortal Coil
    /cast [no mod] Shadowfury
    /cast [mod:alt,@focus] mortal coil
    /run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell("Tier2", G"Howl of terror" or G"Mortal Coil" or "Shadowfury")

    #showtooltip
    /use Burning Rush
    /use Unbound Will
    /use Blood Horror
    /run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell("Tier4", G"Unbound Will" or G"Burning Rush" or "Blood Horror")

    they used to work, now they just change back to a red question mark few seconds after they've updated to the real tooltip and icon etc..
    Chances are you're using a spell that doesn't exist any more, spelling it wrong, or the syntax is now redundant. Best response I can give, as I don't play a warlock, is make a new macro and copy each line in separately and test it line by line.

    Dude i have exactly the same problem, and i play warlock too, maybe it could be related?
    I didn't found anything to make the macro works again.
    I asked help on the official forum of my country, and guys who answered me, seem to have no problem with the Set Macro Spell command.

    I just found another way to make the iconTalents work, for exemple if you want make macro about Talent from lvl 45 then:
    /use [talent:3/1] Talent 1
    /use [talent:3/2] Talent 2
    /use [talent:3/3] Talent 3

    (Just change Talent 1,2,3 by your own spells of course)

    My main problem is that i used "Set Macro Spell" for many other spells that aren,t Talents, and i can't make them work anymore.(ex: Soulfire, chaos bolt, agony)
    (before the patch, i used an addon called Super Duper Macro, i don't know if it is related with my problem).

    Come tell my if you know a way to bypass this problem.

    thank you for your answer, i tried making a macro using the template you described and i cant get it to work, not sure if i am stupid or just missunderstood, here is the macro

    /use [talent:3/1] howl of terror
    /use [talent:3/2] mortal coil
    /use [talent:3/3] shadowfury

    it does nothing tho, and im sure its just for warlock the macros are broken, as on my mage,paladin,druid,monk,rogue these exact same macros work just fine, i even tried it on another pc and same issue without addons or with a brand new wtf map. hope blizzard fixes this

    This should works:

    /use [talent:2/1] howl of terror
    /use [talent:2/2] mortal coil
    /use [talent:2/3] shadowfury

    The first number in the [ ] is the line of the talents, the second is the spell
