Comments on: Do you use Macros? http://www.gamingnoobie.com/do-you-use-macros/ A World of Warcraft Blog Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:47:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Mcgoo http://www.gamingnoobie.com/do-you-use-macros/#comment-53 Mcgoo Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:47:40 +0000 http://www.gamingnoobie.com/do-you-use-macros/#comment-53 I use a BUNCH of macro's.. As a lock its almost a necessity to stay organized.. Caster > curse of tongues, corruption, siphon life, lifetap, drain life assist a tank > curse of weakness, corruption(adds shadow embrace which further weakens mob) My hunter doesn't really have any, but he's a 49 twink so I don't need to DO a lot to kill a lot.. Although I do have one that if I hit monkey aspect (for melee I can't escape) it equips my 2 1hers.. (recently moved to NOT USED as my 1hers are now teh awesome) My rogue is low to the ground still so I don't know that I need a macro when I am mostly doing 1,1,1,1,2 (sin strike/evis).. We'll see about the pickpocket one though. First time visit to your blog.. if you have warlock issues come visit me at mine http://mcgoomedivh.blogspot.com I use a BUNCH of macro’s..

What you want to do with outfitter can't be done in combat but you can have several outfits that can be swapped outside of combat. You can make a "bow" outfit that should swap your bow and trinkets in for what ever was currently in their slots. Also you don't need /stopcasting anymore that was mainly used for dealing with latency issues which were cleared up in a recent patch. My wife uses that pickpocket cheapshot macro as well as a follow macro (/follow mycharacter /t mycharacter I am following you) this will put her on follow and let me know that she is, we use this when one of us needs to go afk for a few. On my priest I have a shackle undead macro that shackles my "focus" target or my current target if I don't have a focus. On my warrior I have one that will switch me to battle stance and use mocking blow (in two button presses though) and also one for taunt that works the same way. The best site for macro information though is the wowwiki.com macro page, it has every possible command you can use. A couple quick things.

I have two trinket macros, similar to yours, but just as simple. #showtooltip 13 /use 13 and one exactly the same for 14. That way when I mouse over the icons on my bar, I get the tooltip for the currently equipped trinket. I have been kind of a macro junkie lately.

If no player is specified, inspect your current target. thanks for the idea on a post on commands and emots :) just look it up.. /inspect [allied player] (alias ‘/ins’) - Inspect an allied player.

Right now if I mount up it will auto put the 3% faster trinket on me and when I dismount it will put my armor trinkets, but those are auto setup within the addon (if mounted do this.. and you setup your outfit) but if I knew the coding I could have it where if I use my bow, a trinket or armor that has +range will worn. Does the inspect only work on other players or beast also? For changing gear I like to use the addon called outfitter, but need to learn it’s programming better.

Besides that, I didn't sense that the need of macros was there. It would probably ease-up my experience, but I do great without it ... Oh wait, yeah, I do have one macro : /inspect. :) For my level 68 Warrior, I don’t have any macros, but I think I’ll add one to switch between my two-hander and my one-hander + shield.
