MOTW Ep 55 – Brewmaster Brilliance

Macros, Monk, Tanking, , , ,

These macros come courtesy of Sunnier, as well as the descriptions for them. Enjoy.

This macro targets yourself with Chi Wave, guaranteeing that Chi Wave will heal you on its first bounce. That’s pretty important if you want Chi Wave to be useful while tanking. Just in case you want to start the Chi Wave bounce on someone other than yourself, use it with the ctrl modifier.

#showtooltip
/use [nomod, @player] Chi Wave
/use [mod:ctrl] Chi Wave

This macro puts all your taunt functionality on the same button. Without modifiers, it simply taunts your target. With shift, it targets and taunts off your Ox Statue, which is an AoE taunt. With ctrl, it casts Leer of the Ox (assuming you have it glyphed), which taunts some mobs onto your statue.

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Provoke
/target [mod:shift] Black Ox Statue;
/cast [mod:shift] Provoke
/cast [mod:ctrl] Leer of the Ox

MOTW Ep 55 – World Raid Markers

MOTW Ep 37 – Havoc & Fire and Brimstone

DPS, Macros, Warlock, ,

Hendlove is going strong for warlocks right now, so here are 2 of Hend’s favourite warlock macros.

Before the fight, set a focus target. (Try the MOTW from Ep 36!) Using the following macro will cast Havoc on that focus. If that target dies and you need to refocus and cast Havoc again, mouseover a new target and hit this. Sets as new target and casts Havoc!

#showtooltip Havoc
/focus [@mouseover,harm,nodead]
/cast [@focus,exists]Havoc

Macroexplain.com explains it like this:

If the unit your mouse is currently over is an enemy and is not dead then:
Set your focus target to the unit your mouse is currently over

If the unit saved as your focus target exists then:
Cast Havoc on the unit saved as your focus target

This gem casts your Incinerate as normal, but if you hold down SHIFT, it will cast Fire and Brimstone first. This macro can also be used for Conflagrate, Immolate, and your Curses just as effectively!

#showtooltip Incinerate
/cast [mod:shift,harm]Fire and Brimstone
/cast [mod:shift,harm]Incinerate;[harm]Incinerate

Macroexplain.com explains it like this:

If you were holding the shift key and the currently targeted unit is an enemy then:
Cast Fire and Brimstone

If you were holding the shift key and the currently targeted unit is an enemy then:
Cast Incinerate on the currently targeted unit

Else, if the currently targeted unit is an enemy then:
Cast Incinerate on the currently targeted unit

Time to blow stuff up!

MOTW Ep 32 – Random Mount

All Purpose, Macros, ,

This macro will randomly call any mount listed as a number in between the { }

/run if (not IsMounted()) then local t = {2,3,4} CallCompanion ("Mount", t[random(#t)]) else DismissCompanion("Mount") end

Enter the number of the mount as it appears in your spellbook. If the first mount listed in your spellbook is the Abyssal Seahorse from Vashjir, that would be 1, and if the second mount is the Albino Drake, it would be 2, etc. If you want the Albino Drake in your macro, input the number 2 in the number section between the { }. Add additional mounts by separating their corresponding number with a comma.

It can be difficult counting the number of each mount as it appears in your mount tab but it will work. When first creating it, I would suggest adding only one mount and try it to make sure you have the correct corresponding number to the mount you want. One thing you will need to watch for is getting new mounts. It will mess with your ordering since the new mount will be added alphabetically and increase the number value of any mounts listed after it, meaning you may need to modify your macro.

Have fun!.
