Help with macro

Hi! I have a question. I have always liked that druid spell where you can turn into a bear and make yourself speed up your running at the same time (Stampeding Roar). Now I am trying to create something similar for the shammy and I am wondering if it is possible and if so, if anyone can help me out with this!

A macro that puts down the Wind Rush Totem on me and turns me into a Ghost Wolf at the same time. And whenever the totem is on CD that it will just turn me into a Ghost Wolf. Is that possible to create with just one click?

Try this;

/cast Wind Rush Totem
/cast Ghost Wolf

I don’t think a macro can make them both happen at the same time, it’d have to be 2 clicks of it?

It takes two click back to back But better than having two separate keybinds so it is worth it.

For some reason this only turns me into a Ghost Wolf and my totem is off CD.

Unless one or both spells are off the GCD, you can’t put them both into a macro to be cast at the same time.

Oh, the totem is a targeted spell right? Maybe add some targeting :thinking:

/cleartarget
/target player
/cast Wind Rush Totem
/cast Ghost Wolf

I couldn’t even use it while both were off CD. I guess I will just have to stick to two buttons :slight_smile:

You misunderstand. Most spells in the game have a 1 to 1.5 second global cooldown. So you can’t cast two spells at the same time unless one of them doesn’t trigger that. I don’t know if either of those qualify, off the top of my head.

But if you just want a fire and forget macro for Wind Rush, use:
/cast [@player] Wind Rush Totem

So you don’t have to deal with the targeting reticle.

What about puttin a castsequence in the macro?

No. You need to click it super rapidly, back to back in rapid succession. Your clicks should come in less than a second.

Shammy used to have the best macro capabilities in WoW but they have been nerfed tremendously. You have to click it back to back because you have to deal with GCD and you want to get the next one up as soon as GCD is cleared. So a rapid double click with your mouse should work for that.

Is Wind Rush Totem off the gcd? I don’t think it is.

If it is,

#showtarget
/cast [@player] Wind Rush Totem
/cast Ghost Wolf

or

#showtarget
/cast [@cursor] Wind Rush Totem
/cast Ghost Wolf

Will put the totem at your mouse location instead of at your feet.

But, if they are both on gcd, which Im pretty sure they are, you can’t do both in a macro without a castsequence

#showtooltip
/castsequence [@player] reset=2 Wind Rush Totem, Ghost Wolf

And it will cast across two separate casts back to back, not at the same time.

I guess this is always better than two seperate buttons! This should help, thank you!

Mouse over macros more effective here. That would require any variation of /cast [@cursor] Earthbind Totem

I do that for my EB.

/cast Ghost Wolf
/cast [@cursor] Earthbind Totem

Well thats not technically a mouseover macro. but still it works the way I said. But you sometimes do have to tap it twice back to back for it to work. Other times it works with one single keybind push.

Yeah, me too and I also use that macro for my earthquake (without the ghost wolf cast of course). I actually use that macro for lots of spells on different toons. Very useful!
