Can you /cast twice in a macro?

I haven’t worked with them in forever. Trying to combine a few buttons on my pally. I know you can use multiple /use in a macro, but /cast multiple times doesnt.

For instance. I want to combine Divine Toll and judgment. Is there a command to allow both or no?

I don’t know if this will help, but /castsequence spell 1, spell 2, … allows you to press the key over and over and it will alternate through the list of spells in the order you put them. I don’t think you can automate multiple casts otherwise, but I could be wrong.

Yes but only with specific spells. Wow has a Global Cooldown (GCD) which is minimum delay between ability casts and is usually 1.5 seconds (reduced by your haste). This prevents things like 2 instant cast spells (with 0 casting time) from being cast immediately 1 after the other as the GCD won’t allow the next spell to go off for 1.5 seconds. Spells that are channeled longer than your GCD time or spells that have a cast time longer than the GCD can be immediately followed by another ability cast. They are still on the GCD technically.

Wow will only cast the first GCD-triggering ability in a macro and ignore any other GCD-triggering abilities.

However, there are spells and abilities that are off the GCD. If you lookup on wowhead the talent/spell/item/ability you want to put in a macro if it has a GCD time of 0, it’s off the GCD and you can combine it with other /cast items in a macro, like below:

#showtooltip
/cast Divine Toll
/cast Other Ability not on GCD

Divine Toll is on the GCD and the other one is off the GCD and both will be cast at the same time.

Both Judgment and Divine Toll are on the GCD and you would not be able to activate them both at the same time in a macro. You can have them in the same macro but it would require 2 macro activations to cast both
For example,

#showtooltip
/cast [mod]Judgment;Divine Toll

If you activate the macro while holding down a modifier key (ctrl, alt, shift) them Judgment is cast, otherwise Divine Toll is cast. Both are in the macro but it requires activating twice.

Everything seems to be on the gcd. I just tunnel vision and will often miss things with a longer cooldown. Was hoping I could just combine a few. I know it wont be like the golden age of tbc where 1 button kills were a thing (beastial wrath, trinket 1, trinket 2, kill command…. I did love that) but just to add a couple so I dont forget.

Since it’s mainly ret (prot pally is fairly straightforward). Just wanted to add like execution sentence to blade and Toll with Judgment.

Just because when popping wings, im already weaving hammer, strike, blade and judgment. If i could remove the other 2 things or even 3 (wake, toll, execution) to the buttons im already spamming would make things nice.

Ive already macroed my weapon and trinket to blade and my 2 big attacks (name eludes me) so I know those are always popping.
