Spammable DK OT macro
Post Reply

I'm wondering if the following spammable macro works for picking up adds as an OT (after setting the MT to focus).
#showtooltip
/targetenemy
/stopmacro
/stopmacro
/castsequence reset=8 Death Grip, Dark Command, Icy Touch, Icy Touch, Death Coil, Death Coil
The theory is that I spam it after I tried to pick up spawning adds to help aggro any missing adds to me.
With my limited macro skills, I'd like some input on this macro before I taunt Sarth or Globulus through the raid on my next run.
BB code removed, it rendered the first 4 lines invisible for my browser

I intend to only use the macro to get any adds I missed into my nice AoE zone of Doom (Death and Decay, Unholy Blight and pestilence-spread diseases). After 2 or 3 are pulled in I'll have to switch back to doing my AoE thing to actually keep them there ofcourse.

and the other conditional below it are invalid. A lot of people are misunderstanding the way the target conditional works, lately.

Read that. If you have more questions, ask :).

The wiki page I linked to is an evolved copy of that very post.

Thanks for the replies. As I understand it, what I'm trying to do is not possible (silly not letting macros play the game for us stuff), but is this a workable alternative that does the same:
#showtooltip
/targetenemy
/castsequence reset=8 Death Grip, Dark Command, Icy Touch, Death Coil, Death Coil
This requires all tanks to be in the same party without non-tanks. With the currently limited number of partywide buffs, this shouldn't be a problem.
Theory:
Select a new enemy target.
If the target's target is in your party, the target is already attacking a tank. Try to cast a harmful spell on this tank and fail because he is friendly.
In any other case, cast a harmful spell on the target itself, hopefully aggroing it to you for the time being.
I think a ; thrown into the right part of the macro would make step two do nothing instead of causing a failed cast, but don't know how to use it within a /castsequence and how to make it do nothing if the condition is true. I also don't know if a failed cast within a castsequence moves it further along, which would make a semicolon mandatory.

Interesting...
To answer your questions first, castsequence can only have one of each thing in them: a set of conditionals, a reset condition, a sequence of spells. As far as I know, the sequence will not continue until the current item is successful.
I had some ideas about your macro, but I can't quite get them straight. Let's just see if it works your way.
