Is there anyway to make a macro that will cast Void Torrent first but when I hit it again it will cast Mind Flay (because Void Torrent is on a 45 second cool down)? I’m trying to cut down on some button. I would assign it to shift but I am already using it.
I can’t think of a way to make this work well.
You would have to use /castsequence
Because Void Torrent is on a long CD you have to guess at how Mind Flays to follow in the sequence.
/castsequence Void Torrent, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay…
Lose too much control over abilities with this. Better to not macro them together.
Ok thank you ;D!
I just replaced my Mind Flay button with Void Torrent since I use Mind Spike and work that in with my Mind Blast.
However, here is an idea that you could try.
#showtooltip
/cast [channeling]!Void Torrent;Mind Flay
Haven’t tested it but how it should work is that it will default be Mind Flay but will instantly change to Void Torrent when you are casting Mind Flay. So if you are spamming your button, you would interrupt Mind Flay and it will become Void Torrent and if you keep spamming the button, it will not do anything during Void Torrent because the ! Will not cancel your Void Torrent cast. Then in the case that Void Torrent is on cooldown, you don’t have to worry about any interruption as spamming the button will do nothing but just start a new Mind Flay after the previous one fully finished being channeled until Void Torrent come back off cooldown.
Essentially this will make it so you have both spells on the same keybind and with only a slight delay in casting Void Torrent as it will cancel Mind Flay in order to do so. Or you can simply not spam the button and just hit the button again near the end of Mind Flay so you don’t really waste it in the case of it being Mind Flay: Insanity.
But try it and see how it feels.
I thought about trying to do some channeling/nochannel shenanigans but since they’re both channel abilities I didn’t think you could, so if what you got here works it’d be pretty cool
Yea it’s the same concept that was used for Searing Nightmare in Shadowlands.
You use Mind Sear and while it’s channeling, it becomes Searing Nightmare which essentially once again combined both spells into a single keybind.
So you take that concept and just swap Mind Sear with Mind Flay and swap Searing Nightmare with Void Torrent.
That sounds like a clever way to put them both together
I wouldn’t myself because of the Insidious Ire talent requires a certain setup before hitting Void Torrent, and the macro may have you fire it without the 3 dots rolling. But I wonder if this macro would work for Void Bolt, because that surely is an annoying key to press, since Void Eruption is usually on a more recluse “big cooldowns” area of my keyboard.
Probably.
Just replace Void Torrent with Void Bolt.
The issue with that however is that you will be forced to start casting Mind Flay every time you want to Void Bolt.
Since you have a short window of time to use as many Void bolts as possible, it could cause timing issues.
However with Void Bolt having a cooldown, it could just be fine because you would just spam Mind Flay and as soon as Void Bolt comes off cooldown then it will fire it.
