Paladin macro help

[thorrium]

Hey guys, I am an "old timer" returning, having not played anything wow related since mid BC.

I would like some assistance, I am trying to get simple macro's working, so I can fiddle with it later on, when I get higher level.

For now all I want is to be able to click the macro, and activate a seal (seal of righteousness) into a judgment on the selected target...
I would love any advice on how to write it.

I don't know whether this is possible because activating a seal triggers global cooldown. You'd have to wait for that GCD before you are able to use judgement again. And I think that wait is what is making it hard implementing a macro like that.
On the other hand I barely use macros, so there might be a solution.

Judgement is off the global cooldown.

Judgement is off the global cooldown.

Ah of course it is, forgot about that.

Judgement is off the global cooldown.

But you should be able to make a casting sequence right? I have tried looking into the things, but tbh it is a lot to understand in a very short timephrame, which is why I could really use some help... (if it is at all possible).

A basic

/cast Judgement
/cast Seal of Command

should work. You'll have to hit it twice, but with most people mashing buttons, it shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise you will need some scripting. I borrowed this from the internet people

/run local b=false; for i=1,16 do if(UnitBuff("player",i)) then if(string.find(UnitBuff("player",i),"ThunderBolt")) then b=true; break; end; end; end; if b==true then CastSpellByName("Judgement"); else CastSpellByName("Seal of Righteousness()"); end

This one will always cast max rank. It will also re-seal if you don't have a seal active.

PS: Castsequence it a TBC thingy, sadly it doesn't exist in vanilla. No #showtooltip and other goodies aswell.

You will need SuperMacro tu use "/cast" in macros.

 

[Psojed]

Nope Voodoom, the cast macro works with default blizz interface. First click activates Seal, and if you have a seal active, it casts Judgement.

I tried the first one already, it don't seem to work, or at least I can't get it to taget the mobs.
it just reuses seal again and again.
But I will totally look into the 2nd one.


I am just so sure that back in the day when we did pvp we all had these great macro's, sadly it was in OG vanilla, so I can't remember it properly.

Oh really ? I always thought that it was broken and Vanilla and used /script CastSpellByName...
Guess it's time to clean my macros ! :biggrin:

@thorrium If the second macro is not working, I will give you mine.

 

[Psojed]

Well the first macro does not target anything, you are supposed to target something first :biggrin:

If you can send me your macro I would be happy, you can do it in PM if you don't want the others to see the majestic writing

It do work, but then I rather have it set up as a quick combo (1,2) as I feel it is strange to double click the macro.
But it do work...
