Crushing Blow, Thunder Blast & Blood Bath Macro Bug

When I make a macro such as /cast or /use crushing blow, sometimes when I switch specs or go into an arena or dungeon, the macro says spell not learned and will not sequence with any other macro. If I log out, it will work again until I switch specs or enter a dungeon.

Reporting this as a bug, because every other macro works just fine, but Crushing Blow, Thunder blast and Blood Bath all give me “spell not learned” and halt any macro sequence.

Thank you for any and all help

All 3 of these are spell overrides, so raging blow, thunder clap, and bloodthirst will all automatically convert to these abilities in a macro when they are procced. That said, there is a macro bug where macros can pull the wrong spellid of an ability until logout, but using the base ability instead of the override should resolve it for these specific abilities.

Thank you for your response

Yes, using Raging Blow, Thunderclap and Bloodthirst in essence fixes it, but if I don’t want to use the base abilities and just the overrides, it is annoying, especially in sequence macros where I would want Thunder Blast, Crushing Blow, Blood Bath and then Raging Blow and then Blood Thirst.

Hopefully they fix the bug, because it works sometimes, but as soon as I que for an arena or dungeon, or switch specs, its bugged until log out. If reload Ui fixed it, it wouldn’t be an issue, but sadly it doesn’t :frowning:

Could probably make something work with creative use of the [known] conditional.

I tried a few with spell ID and with the name and still no luck. Thank you for the suggestion though :slight_smile:

I mean something like [known:335097] raging blow or [known:335096] bloodthirst
Which is saying cast raging blow if crushing blow is known, or cast bloodthirst is blood bath is known.

I couldn’t get that working either :frowning: . On a good note, I found that if I use (/castsequence raging blow, bloodthirst) it will use crushing blow or raging when up and then go to bloodthirst/bloodbath versus casting that second raging blow most of the time.

Hopefully Blizzard fixes this bug though, because from the macro forums and old bug report posts it seems to be an ongoing bug within many classes.

try [known:bloodbath] and [known:crushing blow] instead

I just want to report that of patch 11.0.5 that it is still giving me a spell not learned for all empowered ability macros. /cast crushing blow, /cast bloodbath and /cast thunder blast all work until you enter a dungeon or pvp area and then leave.

What is new is that when I spam the macro that says /cast crushing blow I have the show tool tip on raging blow and after the spell not learned pops up it says raging blow has a 2 second cooldown, so whatever ability Blizzard is mixing up with crushing blow in the spell not learned, it apparently has a 2 second cooldown if that helps narrow that one down :slight_smile:

Macros like to pull wrong spellids for stuff under certain conditions. It’s common when using overrides, though I don’t know of any reason crushing blow or bloodbath specifically would be bugging out as I don’t know of any additional, old spellids warriors have for those abilities that a macro could end up pulling. Thunder blast could potentially pull the protection warrior version if you swap directly from thane protection to thane fury.

Regardless, /cast raging blow, /cast bloodthirst, and /cast thunder clap will all automatically switch to their override variants on proc and the known conditional with name can be used to verify that they are procced and known. known:spellid hasn’t really been working for spell overrides.

Yes, any macro with /cast raging blow, blood thirst and thunder clap will also proc its override, but it is still a bug that I can’t just make a separate button for just crushing blow, blood bath and thunder blast. Blizzard may not ever fix it like the other override bugs from other classes, but as of 11.0.5 we still can’t make a separate macro for just those overrides, so I wanted to post it as such :grin:.

And yeah, I don’t know any other spell id it would mess with that is on a 2 second cooldown, but that is what shows up on my screen for crushing blow when the spell not learned shows up.
