Is it true that we cannot put two abilities in a macro?

In-game macros will not get caught by Warden. Running out-of-game automation will.

So it is acceptable to put multi commands in one macro to do multi actions with one click?

gcd is a thing so there are only a small amount of abilities you can even macro together like what you’re thinking

So long as that macro is built in the wow macro toolkit, yes. If you are referring to a macro using Razer Synapse, that is not allowed.

1Cii2: any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that allows the automated control of a Game, or any other feature of the Platform, e.g. the automated control of a character in a Game;

These are what are not allowed, a hardware/software macro outside of the Blizzard client.

Good thing there is a whole forum for UI & Macros…

Including a pinned post with examples…

You can stop being dense anytime you want.

if you think macros are some game breaking tech, you’re gonna flip out when you discover what weakauras are capable of

you can only macro what you could otherwise do for yourself

/castsequence

allows you to do just that

but it just loads a bunch of abilities into one button. you still have to push the button

so, like, a guardian macro might be (maybe I get the syntax wrong)

#showtooltip mangle
/castsequence
/cast mangle
/cast ironfur

this lets you smash your mangle button as a bear and if you have enough rage, you will also cast ironfur since it is off the global cooldown. since mangle generates rages, you will very likely be able to have both abilities go off one after the other.

if you somehow found a way to have hekili or weak auras do all of your abilities for you, then you are in botting territory, which is bannable.

i believe as long as your fingers are hitting the keyboard, you can “program” more or less anything you like.

ymmv

I mean…aren’t there addons that make rotations one button? You’re not going to get a bad for trying to put multiple abilities in a macro, but they won’t work if they’re both on gcd.

e.g. if you’re trying to set up a macro that casts rsk, and if it’s on cd, bok, and you have it set up as

/cast rsk
/cast bok

expecting it to just cast bok if rsk is on cd, it doesn’t work that way. Modifiers are a way around this but in my mind those are just different hotkeys, but with less buttons showing on the screen. You could also castsequence as others have mentioned, but a lot of times conditions are not always 100% consistent e.g. if you might not always want spells in a certain order, or timing may get messed up based on procs etc.

Also macros <> automating, even if they did have multiple skills, it still requires user input each time. (unless off gcd)

No, there’s no addon that can do that.

If you can put it in the macro, it’s fine. The line is pretty grey, but basically if you can get the game to do it, and you are not casting multiple abilities with ONE KEYPRESS they won’t ban you. Not one macro.

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=time ability, ability
/cast ogcd ability
/use 13 or 14 whichever your on use trinket is
/use Tempered Potion
Can do however many you want the time is whatever you want to reset macro back to start if you haven’t used it in the amount of time otherwise it will reset back to start if you used every ability

People have entire rotations on macros. I’ve always thought it sort of defeats the game of the game, especially for newcomers just ripping builds from icyveins or raider io. But, I have to admit sometimes you can miscast something, and as a warlock, you can be stuck casting a demon bolt before you know it. never cast those ordinarily.

So there is an addon that allows you to make bigger macros that you can created a 1 button macro on it casts the abilities in a priority order

Your close with yours but it lookes like this
#showtooltip
/cast Mangle
/cast Ironfur
Dont need to put Mangle after the tooltip since its the first ability on the macro and ironfur is ogcd will always cast if you have the rage for it

/cast Berserking
/use 13
/cast Combustion

That kind of thing won’t get you banned

They won’t ban you, but they send their hit squad (me) to join your groups and remind you I don’t have a single macro every time I see an opportunity. Sorry, bud, even considering it has put you on the list. See you in M+.

Yeah retail death Knight has like 400 CDs and consumes and trinkets to pop you really need to macro them all into one click lol.

I find it strange that the first response to this wasn’t “no” and post closed. I do appreciate the history lesson about wait commands casting 2 spells though.
