Looking for a downrank macro for arcane explosion

Looking for something that if I have no mana for rank 5 arcane explosion, then I can a rank 3 instead

or

a shift modifier macro when pressing 4 casts rank 5 AE and shift 5 casts rank 3 AE

You get the idea is this possible? IF so can you link the macro thanks!

/Cast ArcaneExplosion
/Cast ArcaneExplosion Rank 3
/Cast ArcaneExplosion Rank 1

The first cast is max rank. If it fails then the rank 3 will cast. If both max and rank 3 fail, rank 1 casts

It didnt work for me but thats exactly what I am looking for

Your initial request isn’t possible. Macros can’t ‘fall through’ like that anymore; if a spell fails to cast, the macro ends execution.

For the second request, though:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Arcane Explosion(Rank 3); Arcane Explosion;

(Note: I’m assuming that this was a typo, where you asked for 4 to cast rank-5 and shift-5 to cast rank 3. I assume you want them on the same button. If you don’t, delete the last “Arcane Explosion;” from the macro, put the macro on 5, and bind AE to 4. This macro as written will also automatically upgrade the non-shift version to Rank 6 when you learn it.)
