Newb Shaman question

[Hardizzle-dalaran]

Never really messed with macros before, but would it be possible to make a macro for my guy that does

1. casts tempest if it’s up
2. casts lava burst if tempest isn’t up and it has charges
3. casts lightning bolt if tempest and lava burst aren’t available?

Thanks in advance

3. Macros - What can they not do?

Macros cannot make smart decisions for you. They can’t cast spells based on cooldown, or check if a buff is active, or magically fit all your abilities onto one button.

That said, if Tempest changes your list of spells known when it procs, then you’ll be able to perform that part of it using the known condition, but it’s not possible with macros to check if you have LVB charges.
