Spell macro error (worked in previous expansion)

Good morning!

Since patch 11.0 the following macro does not work only in dungeons/raids:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, nodead, help] Depuración

Outside of dungeons or raids it works normally

I am having the same problem with Power Word: Life. Trying the ability results in a spell is not learned error. The macro worked in Dragonflight.

/cast Power Word: Life

I still need help with the skill, in this Dungeons i need use many times “Detox” (Depuración in spanish).
When i use the spell in a macro, does not work in a macro, only in the original spell:

#showtooltip Depuración
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help,nodead] [@player] Depuración

Your command should work. Are you sure the spelling is the exact same?

Try opening the macro window and the grimoire, click on the macro text box, then shift + click the spell, and check how the game will auto-complete the /cast command. There could be a typo on how the game is translating the spell.

In theory, your macro should work. In these kinds of spells, I like to use this:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player][@mouseover,group,help,nodead][@targettarget,help,nodead][help,nodead][] Depuración

This works like this:

  • If you press “Alt”, you are the target
  • If you are in a group, it will use the @mouseover target
  • If you are not in a group or no mouse over target, it will target a friendly unit (either selected enemy’s target or selected ally). If all else fails, it will default to standard behavior (usually this means targetting yourself).

The problem arises only when I enter a dungeon, the skill can be used, but when using it from a macro, it gives the message “Skill not learned”, which makes no sense, since the skill can be used if I use it directly from the book of skills

Have you tried this? It may be an issue with a typo:

I tried it, but when entering level 80 heroic dungeons the game does not allow me to use the skill from the macro, and considers it as an “Unlearned Skill”, however it works if I use the skill without a macro
