Thistle Tea Macro

Guides UI and Macro
1

I’m having an issue with a very basic macro I’m trying to make on my Rogue regarding the talent Thistle Tea.

/use [mod:shift] Thistle Tea; Shiv

The issue I’m having isn’t with macro formatting; it’s that Thistle Tea exists as two different things in-game. There is Thistle Tea the talent, which is what I want to use, and there’s Thistle Tea the item that is made with classic cooking.

This isn’t an issue for characters that don’t know the Thistle Tea recipe, which I confirmed on a newer character that didn’t exist in classic and never learned classic cooking. But my Rogue was created in vanilla, and he was a regular thistle tea user back then, so he knows it well.

Is there any way to distinguish in the macro between Thistle Tea the item crafted through cooking and Thistle Tea the talent? Otherwise my macro is completely useless.

Change /use to /cast, use prioritizes items, cast prioritizes spells. If that doesn’t fix things also try this: Thistle Tea()

I appreciate the help.

Unfortunately, neither of those worked. Changing /use to /cast had the same effect, and changing Thistle Tea to Thistle Tea() made it unknown completely (gave the ? icon when I held shift).

Still looking for a solution if anyone can think of one.

That worked for me to distinguish between the two. I had 5 Thistle teas in my bags & changing between them I could see the charges change with it on the tooltip & more importantly trigger the correct thing.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Thistle Tea; Shiv
