Fiancee is helping another player with his hunter. I promised to repost his pulling macro.
Here’s the macro I use for pulling something. Set this up in your macros with the “?” icon.
#showtooltip Distracting Shot
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,noexists]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/cast [target=focus] Distracting Shot
/stopcasting
What it does:
Show the distracting shot icon.
If my focus is dead,
or if my focus doesn’t exist,
Set me target to be my focus.
Cast distracting shot on my focus.
Then stop shotting (Ie, stop my auto-shot).
Normally you’d use this to pull something to you to put it in a freezing trap (but stop auto-shooting so you don’t break your freezing trap). This sets your target to be your focus.. so if you have the right addons (I’m thinking Quartz) setup you’ll see a timer for your trap duration.
Keep in mind that distracting shots don’t break ice traps. So if you think that the healer is getting higher than you on the trapped mob’s threat list (or if you have to feighn death) you can hit this macro again to hit your focus with another distracting shot.

The following macro will allow you to have a single button for multiple healthstones. If you have all three sizes, then clicking this once will use the biggest one. Then the second click (after 2 mins) will use the middle sized one. Clicking this a 3rd time (after 2 mins) will use the smallest healthstone.
It will show as a tooltip the smallest healthstone. Assuming you have one in your inventory the icon will show up until you use the smallest healthstone.
#showtooltip item:22103
/use item:22105
/use item:22104
/use item:22103
If you wanted to, you could add “/use Charged Crystal Focus” as the last line and then when you run out of cookies it will start eating crystal focus.

So I’ve got this macro problem.. you might call it an addiction.. but that’s only if you look at it from the outside where it looks all obsessive and weird. From the insider (my view) it looks perfectly normal.
Anyway.. Lilac has run out of macro slots. I know, hard to imagine.. but every single slot for a macro for Lilac is totally full. The part that frustrates me.. is that most of her macros follow a template.
I have all these spells.. and I want them to work the same way.. no matter which spell I hit.

Yesterday it occured to me that suddently Tatia is using a lot of macros. I’ve added a page just for the macros. Enjoy.

So.. well.. I’m a programmer at heart. If it’s good as it is, it’d be even better if I could get a computer to do it.
Last week Lilac ran Mana Tombs and I got my first taste of warlock CC. I dutifully made up a focus macro to get seduction to work.
/cast [button:2, target=focus] Seduction
/cast Seduction
If I click this button with my right mouse button, cast seduction on my focus. Otherwise, cast it on my target
It was lovely. CC worked. Mana Tombs was a win. Then I went back to questing.. At this point I changed back to using my voidwalker.. and had a moment of “harumph”. It seems rather silly to have a button for “Seduction” on my button bar when I don’t have my Succubus out. Then I got to thinking (cue ominous music).

I tweaked my Hunter’s attack macro based on the buggy piggies. This macro lets me take “Charge” off auto-cast but still uses it at the beginning of the fight. It should also prevent my piggie from breaking my (and other people’s) traps. New macro:
/target [help] targettarget
/cast Hunter’s Mark
/petattack [target=pettarget,noexists] target
/cast [pet:Boar] Charge
/stopmacro [target=pettarget,noexists]
/petfollow

From Patch 2.3.2:
# /cast will toggle spells again unless the name is prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g. /castsequence Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
I hate to let a good option go to waste.. so I’m noodling the uses for this.
Toggle-able spells I can think of:
Auto Shot (for hunter)
[name of] Aspect (for hunter)
[animal] Form (for druid)
[name of] Aura (for paladin)
Find [some trackable group of things (Herbs, Minerals, Demons, etc)] (for anyone)
Stealth (for rogues and kitty druids)

Fiancee asked for a macro yesterday. He noticed that Kill command doesn’t trigger the global cooldown so he wants it to try and do Kill Command whenever he hits Steady Shot. This would eliminate a button from his screen… and it would make sure that he triggered Kill Command whenever it was up.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been living under a rock.. but yesterday I -finally- figured this out.
I have several outfits that change depending on the circumstances (Outfitter does the changing). Each outfit has its own trinkets. Some of these trinkets have “Use:…” abilities and I need them to show up to remind me to use them. If I don’t see the trinket I forget to use the trinket.
Enter button macros:

Amplify Curse
Instant 3 min cooldown
Increases the effect of your next Curse of Doom or Curse of Agony by 50%, or your next Curse of Exhaustion by an additional 20%. Lasts 30 sec.
I spent a lot of time playing Ette over the weekend and have really come to enjoy the Warlock class. One spell that Ette got recently was Amplify Curse. The problem I’m having with it is that I constantly forget to use it. It’s on such a long cooldown that it just slips my mind.
I had an ah-hah moment and decided to write a macro to take care of this problem. Amplify Curse doesn’t trigger the global cool down so I can trigger it and another spell in the same macro.
