Macro Help

Guides UI and Macro

HI - I am new to macros and would like to make a macro for my DH.

I want the macro to first cast
Vengeful Retreat
then cast
Fel Rush

I have attempted this as I thought it would be simple and only VR casts.
Any help is appreciated!

In theory because Vengeful Retreat is off the GCD (Global Cooldown) while Fel Rush is on the GCD (a very microscopic one), you could do this:

#showtooltip
/cast Vengeful Retreat
/cast Fel Rush

But you might end up getting some inconsistent results as Vengeful Retreat has a cooldown timer that is modified by Fel Rush and you may want to use Fel Rush as a gap closer, especially since it has 2 charges. Fel Rush seems like an ability you would use frequently.

If it was me I would make them accessible from the same keybinding but use a modifier to trigger the Vengeful retreat

#showtooltip
/cast [mod]Vengeful retreat;Fel Rush

Activate the macro (click the action button bar its on, hitting the key that its bound too, etc…) triggers fel rush, but do it while holding down a modifier key (ctrl, alt, or shift – assuming that those are not keybound to something already) and it would cast vengeful retreat instead. So you could hold-alt-click-macro-release alt-click macro to get the effect you want of retreat and rush.
