what macro's do you use ?Follow

I've seen tanks use macro's to announce succcesfull/failed taunts, activating of last stand + the amount of HP they'll loose and WARNING : "I'm pulling target X".

I've decided to use these 2 macro's for arena + PvE (taken from wowwiki rogue macro's found here) :

After Gouge :

I'll use this after a succesfull Gouge. I'm not using the macro as mentioned on the wiki because it will also activate a bandage even after an unsuccesfull Gouge. I'm putting this next to my Gouge button and will look what hotkey i'll assign to it.

Cast for blind :


I have a few questions about this; what does %f do ? will it show in say, raid, party or yell ?

How do i make a macro that shows my abilities fail ? Like announce to my teammates that my kick/gouge/kidneyshot was resisted ? I would have to (and i also want to) switch all these abilites to a macro.

What macro's do you use ? If needed we can make a list of very usefull macro's and put them in the sticky ?

ah yes, missed the /p there .. lol. Rated up for that :D Anyone with some very good helpfull macro's that aren't on the wiki ? Also still looking for the macro that msg's when something fails. Can't find it on the warrior macro wiki. I'll keep looking :D

Go to the O boards and use the search to search for posts regarding Macros. There was a great one on there a while back.

Edit: %t in a macro will put your targets name into the chat message, just fyi.

Edit 2: Adding further lines of "%f has been blinded blah blah blah" preceded by the /y, /raid, and /s commands is a surefire way to make sure the message isn't missed.

WTF

ok tested the blind macro yesterday. It doesn't work. It says no target if i target a group member and when using it in arena it doesn't even seem to give any kind of error ?

I switched /p with /raid.

i switched the first two lines of code

I removed the [target=mouseover] and [target=focus], then it says that it has no focus :/

Anyone with any ideas ?

I'm also still looking for a piece of code that shows in /raid or /p that a blind missed with a different warning.

I've been trying this one to activate my trinket before using eviscerate.

/use Bladefist's Breadth
/cast Eviscerate

I don't think this is the most effective way of using it though :/

/cast Cloak of Shadows
/cast Vanish

/cast Sap
/focus

/castrandom Ghostly Strike, Hemmorhage

Activating ShS starts global cooldown. Macro tries to cast both of them at the same time, but that's not possible because of GC. But I think cold blood + evi would work, because cold blood doesn't activate the GC.

you can't do this with a macro.

but you probably can find an addon which will provide that functionality (by scanning the combat log)

hell, i bet you could configure sct to do it.

You just need to have set an enemy as your focus (/focus).
