So i was looking up good macros for my Hunter for pet management and i came across this “failsafe” macro for when you run low on mana "
/cast Wing Clip
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 2)
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 1)
```"
which ofcourse got me thinking about a blizzard macro, unfortunately copying this style but using blizzard instead seemed to use the lower rank first- so ofcourse i switched the lines around but that didn't seem to work either. Anyone know how to write it correctly?Is the goal here to prioritize top rank blizzard and then decrease the rank due to mana availability? If so, and the wing clip macro you have here works, I don’t know why the same syntax wouldn’t apply for blizzard. I would advise simply binding r1 and top rank. There’s really no reason to use mid-ranks. R1 is only notably useful for pulling rogue stealth. If you’re aoe grinding and ooming consistently enough with mana gems that you need to drop to r1 blizzard, I’d advise switching to cone circling and building an eagle set.
This looks like a “fall through” macro. Where you list a bunch of abilities and the macro attempts to cast each one in order. If the first one cannot be cast it falls through to the next one on the list and so on.
My understanding was that Blizzard intentionally removed the ability to make Fall Through macros for any ability that is on the GCD. That removal occurred at least 10 years ago and maybe more.
Makes sense Mist, ty!
And ya i’ve always had r1 and r5 up, but after seeing the wingclip macro (obviously an old post on that one) i started thinking about blizzard- for those times when you get a frost nova resist and it throws the whole rotation off leaving you with less mana to finish- ofcourse this would be times where i’ve forgotten to Recast the mana gem. After i’ve used it on a pull i almost Always forget to recast it
