Why is this macro not working properly?

Guides UI and Macro
1

Doesn’t allow me to use Ravager properly, the ground reticle never appears. I can get the ability to go off sometimes if I’m clicking the ground at the same time. Also, it’s like it ‘unclicks’ my mouse 3 button if I use it when I’m moving my camera.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:ctrl]Whirlwind; [mod:shift]Shockwave; [mod:alt]Ravager; Thunder Clap
/use Oppressive Orator's Larynx

Just want to use my trinket when it’s off CD.

Alt by default is self cast meaning it will drop on you if its not disabled.

Appreciate the reply, but that wasn’t it (although, I would much prefer for Ravager to just drop right on me since that’s where I want it 100% of the time). The /use command is somehow tripping the macro up because when I deleted that line, it worked fine.

I’ve triggered trinkets this way for a long time, so something must have changed?

It just clicked with me that by trying to cast another ability, ie the trinket, you’re clearing the targeting circle. You can move the trinket to be first and adjust the showtooltip if you want to keep the targeting circle, or you can keep it how it is and just do [mod:alt, @player] to drop it centered on yourself, or [mod:alt, @cursor] to drop it wherever your mouse is.

Brilliant!

Now, what would you do if you wanted to add a CD ability to this macro, to cast every time it’s off CD? Like this:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:ctrl]Whirlwind; [mod:shift]Shockwave; [mod:alt, @player]Ravager; Thunder Clap
/cast Berserker Shout
/use Oppressive Orator's Larynx

OR, since I have a Shout macro that I’m punching every 45 sec, would it be better to do this:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:ctrl]Battle Shout; [mod:shift]Rallying Cry; [mod:alt]Avatar; Demoralizing Shout
/cast Berserker Shout

dunno why you would want to do that but either of those would work since berserker rage/berserker shout are off gcd.

Yeah, I thought about it and would rather have it ready as needed. I’ll drop Battle Shout on my bar since I only use it once in a while and put Berserker Shout in its place in the macro.
Thanks again!

I wouldn’t recommend macroing either of those things into damaging abilities. Battle Shout you really only use every hour/when someone gets rez’d and Berserker Shout is entirely situational and you don’t want it to be on CD when you actually need it.

For trinkets, you can use the slot they’re in rather than the trinket name, so it’ll use whichever trinkets you have equipped without updating the macro.

If I drop both into the macro, will it affect functionality if one (or both) trinkets has no on-use ability?

No.

/use also works for spells. And if you want to have OCDs in a macro just add them the same as you would your trinkets as their own line.

#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrl]Whirlwind;[mod:shift]Shockwave;[mod:alt,@player]Ravager;Thunder Clap
/use Avatar
/use Recklessness
/use Blood Fury(Racial)
/use Berserker Shout
/use 13
/use 14
