		<description>You can pull the trinket macro into all of your attacks and have it as a sepearate button you have to push. Just create a macro for your attacks like the one below

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 13
/use 14
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/cast Sinister Strike &lt;---- *or whatever attack you want*

Even tho it looks like alot of lines, whe you press teh key this macro is assigned to, it will use the first trinket and use Sinister Strike with one button press. The second trinket will be usable in 30 seconds unless you have two of the same trinkets.

This macro uses whatever trinket is not on cooldown AND you don&#039;t have to have a separate macro to start your trinkets. The console Sound_enableFX 1 part stops the error sound from occuring when you press the macro but your trinks are on CD.

Why should you do this? TO USE YOUR TRINKETS! Yes, your trinks won&#039;t be used everytime you attack and yes they might be on CD when you face a boss (tho you can wait for the CD to come off), but you&#039;ll be using your trinkets as much as possible. Make your trinkets work.

I would use the above macro if I had two +Attack Power trinkets. If I had one trinket that had +AP and the other that say added HP, which you would only use during certain circumstances, then I&#039;d drop the &quot;/use #&quot; that corresponds to the +HP slot. (trinks are the 13th and 14th slots if #1 is your helm, just don&#039;t count your shirt and tabard, they don&#039;t count)

Also, if I was a caster (which I am) and I had several spells I always cast (think DoTs), then replace the &quot;/cast&quot; with &quot;/castsequence&quot; and separate out the spells with &quot;,&quot;. Like this:

&quot;/castsequence reset=10 Curse of Agony, Haunt, Corruption, Unstable Affliction, Siphon Life&quot;

So the first time Hit the button, the trinks go off and Curse of Agony is cast. Everytime afterwards that I hit the same button, the next spell with go off.

The &quot;reset=10&quot; means if you stop casting for 10 seconds, the rotation will reset and you&#039;ll start at the beginning of the sequence (CoA).

Hope that was helpful</description>

		<description>I use a BUNCH of macro&#039;s.. As a lock its almost a necessity to stay organized..

Caster &gt; curse of tongues, corruption, siphon life, lifetap, drain life

assist a tank &gt; curse of weakness, corruption(adds shadow embrace which further weakens mob)

My hunter doesn&#039;t really have any, but he&#039;s a 49 twink so I don&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t know that I need a macro when I am mostly doing 1,1,1,1,2  (sin strike/evis).. We&#039;ll see about the pickpocket one though.

		<description>A couple quick things.

What you want to do with outfitter can&#039;t be done in combat but you can have several outfits that can be swapped outside of combat.  You can make a &quot;bow&quot; outfit that should swap your bow and trinkets in for what ever was currently in their slots.

Also you don&#039;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 &quot;focus&quot; target or my current target if I don&#039;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.</description>

		<description>I have been kind of a macro junkie lately. 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.</description>

		<description>just look it up..   /inspect [allied player] (alias &#039;/ins&#039;) - Inspect an allied player. If no player is specified, inspect your current target.

thanks for the idea on a post on commands and emots :)</description>

		<description>For changing gear I like to use the addon called outfitter, but need to learn it&#039;s programming better. 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?</description>

		<description>For my level 68 Warrior, I don&#039;t have any macros, but I think I&#039;ll add one to switch between my two-hander and my one-hander + shield.

Besides that, I didn&#039;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. :)</description>
