Hello :) i've been having problems with my macro and wondering if any of you can help. my macro looks like this /cast pickpocket /stopcasting /cast cheap shot. my question is, when i cast the macro, half of the time it doesn't pick up the drops i.e. junkboxes and greys. I should mention that i have my loot set to auto loot. I can see the loot come up when i cast, but it doesn't end up in my bags. Any info on this would be helpful :)
This happens at least 50% of the time on all of my pickpocket macros as well (except my sap>THEN PP macro), not sure why, and I don't know of a fix. I hope someone else here does though!
Server lag, just use /castsequence with a reset parameter instead, it means one extra push of the button but at least you pick stuff up.
It happens with hunters using the standard melee macro, raptor strike to wing clip.
Macro rules says you can do instant casts like this but server lag says otherwise.
And you don't need to the /stopcasting any more since patch before last.

hey Element, could you explain a bit more about the reset paramater?
I've looked at the macro guide dozens of times, but I don't really GET it, I can just copy stuff pretty much, so how would that reset paramater look?
Thanks

Sometimes I notice that the loot window doesn't show when using the macro, but the chat/log shows it's fine. I've never noticed that it's missed a viable target pick pocket... I'll keep my eyes open though.
reset parameter can be a number of things, change of target, timer, key modifier, etc.
Basically for the castsequence command:
/castsequence [reset=n] skills, items, etc.
where n can be target, which means if you change targets your next use of the macro will be the first cast listed, so for a Warlock who has this:
/castsequence reset=target Curse of Agony, Corruption, Immolation, Shadow Bolt
note: there are no brackets around the reset parameter
Will cast CoA first then Corruption, and if he/she changes targets after this then the next spell cast will be CoA and not Immolation.
So for your purposes of pickpocket:
/castsequence reset=target Pickpocket, Cheap Shot
This macro would mean that you cast pickpocket on your first use of the macro and then cheap shot on the next, if you keep changing targets you keep on pickpocketing.
Oh and /castsequence does not account for resists/misses/parries/dodges, so if your spell/talent/cast is resisted it still moves on to the next one in the list.
Just some friendly warning, unless Blizzard stealth patched this, Pickpocket can be resisted, even on sapped targets, so I would use this macro with careful consideration when doing instances.
