[pvptalent] macro conditional in BFA?

PVP War Mode and World PvP
1
I make good use of the [pvptalent:X/X] macro conditional on live and realized that this can't really work given the new pool-pick system.

Anyone know if anything equivalent has been planned or implemented?
Or maybe we can brainstorm an efficient syntax for it here?

[pvptalent:<spell>] is a bit out of line with other existing conditional syntax. The way the pool list is organized makes an index system seem unwieldy...

I use to love this for my stings to change out on their own depending on what I took

I think the best way to handle this would be something like /cast pvptalent1-3

As you say, an index won't really work here anymore.

I posted about this recently as well, asking for /cast pvptalent1 etc.

+1 We really need this for macro and UI simplicity.

Ive been searching for something like this, and finally found a solution that works...although it doesn't update the icon/tooltip until you press the bind, this is a huge step forward

Excuse the example, just have a bind to swap out Clones/Thorns/Overgrowth...but you will get the idea

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast Cyclone(PvP Talent)
/cast Thorns(PvP Talent)
/cast Overgrowth(PvP Talent)
/run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell(GetRunningMacro(),G"Cyclone"or G"Thorns" or G"Overgrowth")

OP here to necro the post with an update. I also found this same solution while looking around recently! But it’s definitely a bummer that you have to hit the macro every time you log in or swap talents to update the tooltip… so I just scripted it with a mini addon.

Have a few macros that are just:

Then in the scrip you just set up a frame that listens to PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD and PLAYER_PVP_TALENT_UPDATE and runs that G"ability" code right inside the script. It saves heavily on macro space and automatically updates when you log in, swap specs, or change talents.

I can go more in depth on how to set it up if anyone is interested.

Omg ty this macro is sick

(Tested 9.1 Shadowlands) There is currently a macro conditional for Warmode, but only as a generalised spec, so you can’t have it change automatically with your talent selections.

/cast [spec:wm] ability

Also

/cast [nospec:wm] ability

I hope this helps anyone else searching for macro solutions.

That conditional is not working for me. Are you sure it’s not from some addon?
