Boy am i embarassed to say that it was because I was mis-spelling Berserker.
I actually noticed it before I read your reply...but thanks very much for pointing it out.
I have it working like this.
/cast [stance: 1/2] Berserker Stance
/stopcasting
/cast Pummel

seems to be working fine. thanks for your help

/cast Bestial Wrath
/stopcasting
/use Devilsaur Tooth

I could use some help on another macro--

I want to spam Unending Breath and Detect Invisibility on my group for PVP. This would add 2 extra layers of magic buffs for enemies to debuff. I'm looking for a way to just spam 1 button and buff everybody (if thats even possible without targetting them).

Not only for arena, this would be nice for BG's too.

Cheers, thank you.

I'm home now and totally redoing my UI. Trying to hotkey everything I use, memorize it and hide it. I'm getting close, I should be able to test these macros in about an hour.

The section on focus I found really helpful. I finally installed a unit frames addon, just to see my focus targets. I'm mainly focused on PVP now, so the macros will be more PVP oriented.

An example is clearing a flag room. If I see a healer, I want to immediately target and /focus them. Then I'll see their castbar and debuffs on the focus unit frame, so I can get that clutch spell lock, keep curse of tongues on them forever, drain their mana, all without switching from my target.

So the macros I'm working on are all based around focus. Curse of tongues on focus target, spell lock, deathcoil, fear, seduce. They're all basically the same macro, just different ability names, ie:

#showtooltip Curse of Tongues
/cast [modifier:shift,target=focus,harm] Curse of Tongues; [nomodifier,harm] Curse of Tongues;

Same thing for fear

#showtooltip Fear
/cast [modifier:shift,target=focus,harm] Fear; [nomodifier,harm] Fear;

Or drain mana

#showtooltip Drain Mana
/cast [nochanelling,modifier:shift,target=focus,harm] Drain Mana; [nochannelling,nomodifier,harm] Drain Mana;



I'm just not sure if the syntax is correct. I had an old drain life, mana and soul macro from wowwiki, which used that nochannelling option. It basically says don't recast unless channelling breaks (by interuption, spell completion), so you dont spam it early and waste mana.

I'm also not sure if I need that harm option in there, but I guess it never hurts to be over-specific right?


I guess those macros could easily apply to other classes too.

#showtooltip Counter-Spell
/cast [modifier:shift,target=focus,harm] Counter-Spell; [nomodifier,harm] Counter-Spell;

In theory you'd be watching your focus targets cast bar (like a healer), while dps'ing someone else (your main target, like a warrior). When you see a heal coming, shift-click (or shift-hotkey) to counter-spell the healer, without switching off the warrior.

You could also substitute polymorph for counter-spell, assuming my syntax is correct.

Does Intimidation use the global cooldown? I'm pretty sure it does... try /castsequence Intimidation, Mend Pet

You'll have to double-tap it, but it should work.

I just briefly skimmed through it, but nice guide, and I'm sure it'll help me when I start or when I'm mid-level

I read the article...but I don't understand one thing...Can I write a macro to cast Power Word: Shield on myself without having to have myself targeted? And if I can, how yould it be written?

edit: asked this question in another thread

Is there any macro out there that allows autocasting?

By this I mean, is there something similar to autoattacking, but for spells, which allows you to cast one spell over and over again against a designated target?

Great guide.

Sorry if this has been covered and I've just missed it.

I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to macros in WoW. I do use a few, and need clarification on this:



I have some macros on my paladin for casting blessing of protection and lay on hands. Both of them have /rw and %t to notify the raid that the spell has been cast.

What is the [conditionals] to put after /stopmacro to prevent the /rw from going off if the spell is not cast?

I've tried unsuccessfully to use your "Get There Deluxe" warrior Macro. My brain cells mutiny when I try to break it down to find what's missing/wrong. Possibly it's only my misunderstanding of the macro's function.

I understood it to be two macros.

The first appears to at least partially work. When I'm out of combat and in battle stance, it will charge, proc BR when holding shift, and will switch me to berserker stance with a double tap. The second one also appears to partially work. When I'm in combat, in berserker stance, it will intercept. However, when I'm in berserker stance, out of combat, neither macro will do anything. It won't switch me to battle for a charge, nor will it simply intercept.

Am I expecting more out of it than what it's capable of? Is there possibly an error in the layout you posted?

Also, you might want to include add another macro to your Rogue list. It's a simple Pick Pocket macro that allows you to attempt to PP every enemy you engage from stealth.

/cast Pick Pocket
/stopcasting
/cast Cheap Shot

You must have auto loot enabled in the interface for it to work, and of course you have to be in stealth. If you like to open with something other than Cheap Shot, just replace that with whichever move you open with (Ambush, Backstab for low lvl toons, Garrote, etc). I just replaced my cheap shot key with this macro. If the mob doesn't have pockets or is invalid, you'll get a message stating as much, but the opening attack will still happen.
