Simple Macro

I was just wondering about the 3 minute mage's best friend:

/cast Presence of Mind
/stopcasting
/cast Pyroblast
Does this still work?

As a warlock, I made a macro:

/cast Amplify Curse
/stopcasting
/cast Curse of Agony
And it works.

Just wondering about the Mage one.

I believe so. PoM doesn't trigger the global cooldown.

You would have to change it to
/castsequence pyroblast;fireball;fireblast

You dont need capitols or spaces.

That would actually be /castsequence pyroblast, fireball, fireblast

Using stopcasting does not work with the "global cooldown", the 1.5 second wait time between spells. Because Presence of Mind has its own cooldown, and does not trigger the global cooldown, you can use stopcasting to do another spell, be it one that has it's own cooldown or the global cooldown.

more so like this:/castsequence pyroblast,fireball,fireblast
(no spaces needed)

And you have to hit it again for next spell, not just once.

Blizzard requires a button press for each spell. You can also put a reset timer on there (or have it reset when you hit another button or right click it). Otherwise, if your mob dies before you case fireblast, the next time you click the macro, it will cast fireblast. If you tell it to reset, then it will reset to pyroblast.

See the two stickies by Neuron and Cogwheel for more macro info.
