Advanced Warrior macro help needed

ironfang · 09-25-09, 02:42 PM

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift, stance:1] Rend; Thunder Clap
/cast [mod:shift, stance:2] Piercing Howl; Thunder Clap
/cast [mod:shift, stance:3] Piercing Howl; Pummel

Only recognizes Stance 1 (The top line) .... What am I doing wrong ?

Also is there a mod I can use to increase the amount of macro's I can make because the default Macro Ui seems rather limited for space.

I'm not a fan of multiple actions, but the following might work according to a quick check of WoWWiki:

Code:

#showtooltip
/castsequence [mod:shift, stance:1] Rend, Thunder Clap
/castsequence [mod:shift, stance:2] Piercing Howl, Thunder Clap
/castsequence [mod:shift, stance:3] Piercing Howl, Pummel

As for more macros, check out BindPad. And on another note, you could simplify this macro simply by binding it to shift+* and dropping all the mod:shift conditions.

This would be because on the first line you have Rend, wich requires shift and battle stance as condition, however Thunder clap doesn't. I think you just want castsequence?

Code:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=target [mod:shift, stance:1] Rend, Thunder Clap; [mod:shift, stance:2] Piercing Howl, Thunder Clap; [mod:shift, stance:3] Piercing Howl, Pummel

if not:

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift, stance:1]Rend;[stance:1]Thunder Clap;[mod:shift, stance:2]Piercing Howl;[stance:2]Thunder Clap;[mod:shift, stance:3] Piercing Howl; [stance:3]Pummel

The reason that won't work is that Thunder Clap will cast whenever the condition on line 1 returns false. What you want is:

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod:shift,form:3]pummel;[nomod:shift]thunder clap;[form:1]rend;piercing howl

i.e...

"cast pummel in form (stance) 3 without shift, thunder clap in form 1 or 2 without shift, rend in form 1 with shift, piercing howl in form 2 or 3 with shift"

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift, stance:1] Rend; [stance:1] Thunder Clap
/cast [mod:shift, stance:2] Piercing Howl; [stance: 2] Thunder Clap
/cast [mod:shift, stance:3] Piercing Howl; [stance: 3] Pummel

I believe that's what you're looking for. And, since I'm compulsive about character counts:

Code:

#show
/cast [mod:shift, form:1] Rend; [mod:shift, form:2/3] Piercing Howl; [form:1/2] Thunder Clap; [form: 3] Pummel

FYI, #show has less functionality than #showtooltip, so it's not always appropriate to use it just for the smaller character count.

In any case, mine had fewer already. If the character count really matters, it's not necessary to explicitly state which modifiers or forms (same meaning as stance but shorter) you want to check for if you've already exhausted the alternatives. Although I guess I could have done with with mod instead of nomod:

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,form:1]rend;[mod:shift]piercing howl;[form:3]pummel;thunder clap

As an experienced macro user, I know this can be done even shorter:

Code:

#showtooltip
/use [mod,form:1][mod][form:3]Rend;Piercing Howl;Pummel;Thunder Clap

I am always terribly annoyed when I see /cast or /script, they are just long versions of /run and /use. It is a good practice to use Capitalized Characters in spell/item names. In this case, and in the most cases, mod:shift is not needed. Mod is enough. Now you might think, what if he has CTRL+<somebuttonhere> bound to something else? Quote WoWWiki: "If you bind A to a macro with, say, [modifier:shift] and you have something else bound to SHIFT-A, the SHIFT-A binding will take precedence and your macro will not run." That's about it.

Your macro will always cast Rend unless those three conditions aren't met. Here's a fixed version:

Code:

#showtooltip
/use [mod,form:1]Rend;[mod]Piercing Howl;[form:3]Pummel;Thunder Clap

No it doesn't, my macro was ok. Placing all parameters up front is just a matter of style and is exactly the same as [paramenter]spell;[parameter]spell;.
