Hi all
I am trying to get a cast sequence & button 2 button macro to work for my mage with shimmer & Flicker(Night Fae) but the Btn 2 is not working.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers
This is my standard Blink/Shimmer macro but I have added the Soulshape & Flicker to extend the blink/shimmer range from one button.
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Ice block
/stopcasting
/cast blink
/castsequence reset=25 Blazing Barrier
/cast [button:2] Soulshape(Night Fae), Flicker(Night Fae)
Wouldn’t a modifier be more preferable than having to click a spell you want quick access to?
Also I assume the blazing barrier cast sequence normally works with the blink macro? It just looks a bit odd to me.
That being said, I would hazard to guess that the issue is one of sequencing. Currently your Blink has no modifiers which means regardless of which mousebutton you use to press it, it will meet the requirements and use blink.
The options I believe you would have is either move your button 2 cast to be prioritised above your non-modified blink, or add a button 1 modifier to the blink cast.
I’ll try and have a look when I get access to the PC later to confirm as I tend not to use button macros, and haven’t had much need to macro Soulshape so would need to double check the interaction with it changing to flicker.
Just in case there are other issues interrupting the macro that I’m not aware of.
Thanks mate.
The original macro works fine, blink/shimmer with barrier. in or out of iceblock.
I was hoping to add the flicker for more range.
A mod would prob do it, ill have a go too.

I assume you want them to both cast at the same time then?
My only concern would be the game working out the distance on both blinks at the same time and not improving the range.
Also, if Blazing Barrier is off CD and is available on the cast sequence, the GCD from casting that would prevent Soulshape being able to cast as that is also on the GCD.
Easiest way to check the distance though to make sure it works would be just making a basic macro with
/cast Blink
/cast Soulshape
Obviously the Shimmer talent also needs to be taken for the macro to work as the Shimmer talent removes Blink from the GCD.
No one after another.
I have two shimmers then soulshape, and flicker in 4 secs etc
More of an escape macro.
It works if I castsequence them all
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Ice block
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=90 Shimmer, Shimmer, Soulshape(Night Fae), Flicker(Night Fae)
Cheers mate
Oh, gotcha. Yeah, a standard castsequence would work in that case.
If you are going ahead with something like above you could possibly add a modifier reset on the castsequence even so you can force reset early if needed.
Obviously it resets back to shimmer after the first rotation is used currently, but if you reuse early with Shimmer’s short cd won’t the 2nd cycle of the castsequence get caught up on Soulshape being on cd?
