Basically i’m trying to make a macro that does this:
If the target is a enemy player, cast Necrotic Strike
If the target is any other kind of enemy (PVE), cast Scourge Strike
If anyone can help me with this one
There is no way. It’s separate abilities. So have to replace with macros for when you PvP to switch on a key one same for pve. It’s what I do. I switch one key bond macro out for necrotic or scourge strike if I’m doing PvP or pve.

/cast [mod: shift] Scourge Strike; Necrotic Strike
You can change shift to alt or ctrl or whatever. But I think this is the only way you could do something close to what you want.

I agree that this is super annoying. Is there any other spec in the game that has this weird issue where a pvp talent gives you an ability that basically replaces your main spammable strike, but only on players?
It’s just so irritating having to either macro it to shift or something for the open world, or be ready to drag and replace if you get jumped.
Macroing it doesn’t work for me. I hardly ever pvp, but when I do, i’m spamming necrotic and I want to use the muscle memory I have from plague strike.
Here’s this one I found a while back that I currently use.
#showtooltip Necrotic Strike
/use [mod:shift] Clawing Shadows
/use [mod:shift] Scourge Strike; Necrotic Strike
/use Scourge Strike
/use Clawing Shadows
/run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell(GetRunningMacro(),G"Necrotic Strike" or G"Scourge Strike"or G"Clawing Shadows")
Honestly I don’t really understand the macro text, but it sets Necrotic Strike as default if it’s available(WM on, arena, BG). In a raid/dungeon where PvP talents are turned off, it defaults back to Scourge Strike. If specd into Clawing Shadows it’ll default to Clawing Shadows if Necrotic is unavailable, replacing Scourge Strike. You can force it to use Scourge Strike/Clawing Shadows in (WM on, BG, Arena) by holding on to shift, useful for completing open world content like WQ and Assaults or destroying Vehicles/NPC in BG like Ashran, IoC, AV.
No need to swap keybinds between content. Credit to whomever made this a while back, I just copy/pasted it.
