Help with countershot [nomod]

Guides UI and Macro
1

I’ve been using a macro for when I want to use countershot, and when i press Alt, I want to use Intimidation. I also have a separate macro for when i’m in MM spec for using Binding Shot that looks just like this, but with binding shot instead.

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus, exists, harm] [harm] [nomod] Counter Shot
/cast [mod:alt] Intimidation

The @focus part was added for one of the Castle Nathria bosses, and never removed because it doesn’t interfere with general use.

However, I find that when I press Alt to use Intimidation/Binding Shot, it will also cast Counter shot, which sucks because of the long CD on it. I had assumed that adding [nomod] would prevent CS from being cast when I was holding Alt. I’ve tried placing the [nomod] at the start, in front of the @focus, but that doesn’t help either.

Any suggestions?

/cast [@focus, exists, harm] [harm,nomod] Counter Shot
/cast [mod:alt] Intimidation

Your error was that [harm][nomod] means “harmable target or no modifier key held” - I changed that to [harm,nomod] which means “harmable target AND no modifier key held”.

It can be expanded as well:

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus,harm,mod:shift][harm,nomod]Counter Shot;[@focus,harm,mod:ctrl][harm,mod][]Intimidation

That will allow you to use both Counter Shot and Intimidation against your focus unit.

Shift Modifier and a harmable focus: Counter Shot
No modifier and a harmable target: Counter Shot
Ctrl Modifier and a harmable focus: Intimidation
Any modifier* and a harmable target: Intimidation

Defaults to spellbook click Intimidation if no qualifying unit (focus or target).

Harm implies existence, you don’t need both there. Tests for existence are help (helpable), harm (harmable), and exists.

* shift and ctrl are both already used but only if you have a focus unit. If you don’t have a focus unit, any modifier will work here. You can think of it as mod:alt, but it will expand to any mod when you don’t have a focus unit.

Sweet, thanks. Didn’t know that nomod could be in other qualifiers also.

Don’t need two macros, just use the spec:# condition and put the modified presses first:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,spec:2] Binding Shot; [mod:alt] Intimidation; [@focus,harm,nodead] [] Counter Shot

This looks amazing. I’ll switch to this. Thanks :smiley:
