CC Macro

Post by james1337

I'm a complete noob on the subject of macro's, and I hate asking, but I've scoured the forums here and on WoW as well as on WoWWiki and I'm still not sure I'm getting this right. I'm attempting to mimick the Mage's focus macro for keeping a target CC'd but for Blind.

I understand there must be a macro created that just does
/focus target.
Then a second macro is needed to target what is in focus, which as far as I can tell is
/cast Blind

I know I don't need the /targetlasttarget as the second macro won't actually change my target. The main question I'm having is, is there any way to add a modifier to this process that would allow me to combine the two macro's? Such as, assigning it to a button and by just hitting it, it focuses the current target, and then if clicking say Shift or Ctrl and then the same button, it will use the Blind macro.

Any help on this would be appreciated, especially if I'm doing it wrong.

/clearfocus
/clearfocus
/clearfocus
/clearfocus
/focus
/cast Sheep

Hold any key, and it sets your focus to your current target. If your current focus is dead, not an enemy, or doesn't exist, then it sets your current target as your focus whether or not you have any key held. So, if you havent set your focus target yet and click this macro with an enemy selected, it will set it as your focus and cast sheep.

Would this work for Blind as well 'cause right now what's been posted so far has just confused me further. I'm thinking if that's just for a Mage's sheep, just replace my current button for Sap with
/focus target
/cast Sap
And then assign the second macro to another button, so while DPS'ing the MT's mob, I can hit it once the Sapped mob joins the fight
/cast Blind
/raid %t is blind for 10 seconds!

If there's a way to combine that into one macro, awesome. If not, I'll just have to assign an additional button, no big deal really.

Shoggy, that's brilliant! I wasn't aware that those last two lines could be done like that. Understand about the macro will always blind if in combat, but I should only be using it when setting up before a pull anway. Thanks for the help.

Tried it out last night and works beautifully. Thanks again Shoggy!

For reporting a blind on a focused target you'll need to either use a script or download an addon as there is no eqivilent of %t for focus unfortunatly, also if you use the macro in combat it will always use blind, so be careful with it.Actually there is one: %f.

You can add /stopmacro
/ra %f is blind for 10 seconds!to the end of the macro, but that will still say it when the casting fails (i.e. out of range/cooldown/etc.). If you really want to report it then download an addon like Aftercast.
