Matic’s Error Cancelling Macros!

Matic heard us discussing error cancelling macros and I guess he figured he could do better than us. Well, he was right! Wrap your head around these magnificent macro monstrosities!

#showtooltip Regrowth
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 13
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/script UIErrorsFrame:Show()
/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][] Regrowth

Some useful Resto Druid macros…

Pressing this out of combat will make you prowl, in combat you will shadowmeld first.. you can spam this button cause it wont cancel your prowling.. you can easy do it with pressing shift modifier..

#showtooltip Prowl
/cast [combat] !Shadowmeld; [noform] [nocombat] !Prowl; [combat] !Shadowmeld:
/cast [modifier:shift] Prowl

Big escape macro..

/stopcasting
/cast Barkskin
/cast [target=player] Ironbark
/cast Evasion
/cast Healthstone
/cast Displacer Beast

Healing touch always trying to cast Nature’s Swiftness first..

#showtooltip Healing Touch
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast !Nature's Swiftness
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/script UIErrorsFrame:Show()
/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][] Healing Touch

MOTW Ep 33 – Ascendance

A simple macro for a simple shaman.

/cast Ascendance
/cast Fire Elemental Totem

“Assuming that Glyph of Fire Elemental is beneficial to us in 5.2, this macro could come in super handy, as both cooldowns will both be up within 3 minutes. Ascendance does not take a GCD to pop, so pairing it with something else can make binding everything a bit easier. Even if the glyph isn’t optimal in 5.2, this overly simplified macro is great for openers.” – Saz

Hunter Macros from Episode 32

We discussed a lot of Hunter macros with Ghemit in Episode 32. Here they are in all their macrolicious glory!

Simple Misdirection
This casts Misdirection onto your friendly focus target (main tank) without deselecting your current target. If you have no focus target selected, it will cast Misdirection onto your pet.

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [@focus,exists][@pet,exists] Misdirection

This macro will cast Misdirection on the target you are currently mousing over, provided that they are friendly and not dead. Otherwise, it will cast Misdirection on your focus target, if they are friendly and not dead. If this is not a valid choice either, it will cast Misdirection on your current target.

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead][] Misdirection

This hunter macro casts Readiness (When activated, this ability immediately finishes the cooldown on all Hunter abilities with a base cooldown less than 5 minutes) immediately following your Rapid Fire ability (Increases ranged attack speed by 40% for 15 sec).

#showtooltip Readiness
/cast [nomod] Rapid Fire
/cast [nomod] Readiness
/cast [mod:shift] Rapid Fire

This is a really handy macro for Wow if you PVP alot and get someone up in your face as a Hunter. It clears your target and targets another enemy that is closer, then casts your Hunter’s Scatter Shot on it.

#showtooltip Scatter Shot
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/cast Scatter Shot
/targetlasttarget

Easy mouse over scatter macro

#showtooltip scatter shot
/cast [target=mouseover,exists,harm,nodead] scatter shot

This macro allows you to cancel your Deterrence (by pressing it twice). This is useful, because while Deterrence is active, you cannot perform any attacks. With this macro, you can use Deterrence to avoid a specific boss ability and then quickly resume DPS.

#showtooltip Deterrence
/cast Deterrence
/cancelaura Deterrence

Episode 33 – Solo All The Things

If you’re like us, you want the battle pets added in 5.1 and you also want the super rare mounts that drop off old raid bosses. To help make this feat a little easier, Saz joined us tonight and gave us some great tips on accomplishing this! While discussing soloing old raid bosses, the discussion, at times, breaks into Super Shaman talk as well, but that’s okay. It really is the best class in the game! No really, it is. Just ask me!
