Cov ability macros dont work? (monk)

my kyrian ability and xuen share 2min CD, so when i try to put them together in an “all in 1” macro, it never casts the second spell, no matter how often i spam the button.

#showtooltip
/use Weapons of Order(Kyrian)
/use Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger)
/use 13
/use 14

is what im using, and even if i switch them around, the 1st skill gets used, but what ever is second doesnt (the trinket does get used though which is 3rd/4th)

am i missing something here? Are cov abilities a different thing for macros?

Are they both on the GCD? If so, you can’t cast them in one go.

If not, the Monk has always had issues with macroing abilities with comas in the name, because the system takes those as syntax. Unfortunately I’m unaware of any work around.

if they share a GCD then once the GCD was done, it should cast the next available spell, right? the macro wasnt using what ever was second in line no matter how many times i pressed it. I could sit there and press the button 20 times but itll only use the first one.

Unless sharing a GCD makes it fail the first one and not do the second one.

You also have an errant ) at the end of the Invoke line.

I saw this one over on the Peak of Serenity monk discord

#showtooltip
/cast [nopet] Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger; Weapons of Order(Kyrian)

No.

If they share a GCD, the first GCD ability will eat the keypress and the macro will never attempt to cast the second GCD ability.

this works as a spamable macro, still needs 2 key presses as 2 gcds
