Title: Ootah's Macros
Post by: Ootah on April 25, 2012, 11:01:22 PM
For you Grogona :), most of my macro's are for a clean UI, let me show you why:

anyway here are some of my macro's I like the most:

Switch Battle Stance / Defensive Stance

#showtooltip
/cast battle stance
/equip ruthless gladiator's decapitator


#showtooltip
/cast defensive stance
/equip ruthless gladiator's right render
/equip ruthless gladiator's shield wall


Basic stuff, since I like to micro manage most actions myself I only need these because I have all my keys memorized.

Burst Macro

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier] inner rage ; deadly calm
/cast [modifier] recklessness ; 14
/cast [modifier] sweeping strikes
/cast [modifier] blood fury


This works well, you press the macro without the modifier popping bottom trinket (Ruthless Gladiator's Badge of Victory) and deadly calm. Wait till deadly calm fades and press the same key now with the modifier popping inner rage, recklessness, sweeping strikes (some prefer to leave this one out) and your orc racial. Works best if you have Mortal Strike and Overpower macro'd with Heroic Strike, see below:

Mortal Strike / Overpower

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier] piercing howl ; mortal strike
/cast [modifier] ; heroic strike


#showtooltip
/cast [modifier] demoralizing shout ; overpower
/cast [modifier] ; heroic strike


This way every time I use Mortal Strike or Overpower and have spare rage I will automatically do Heroic Strike. The shouts are merely for my own convenience because I am used to controlling my shouts with Shift 1 till 4, you can replace it with a skill you prefer.

Self-Heal

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier] enraged regeneration ; berserker rage
/cast [modifier] rallying cry


When you have enough rage press the button for Berserker Rage, immediately press it again for enraged regeneration and rallying cry.

Throw Macro

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier] shattering throw ; heroic throw
/cast throw


Without modifier you use heroic throw, while modifier held you swap for shattering throw, when either is on CD you use throw (replace by /cast shoot if you have a gun / bow / x-bow).

Anyway like I said before these macro's are basic stuff, and the way I prefer to play. I hope they help!

Since we're sharing keybinds and macros, I suppose I'll let you all in on the formula that allowed me to win the Tournament of the Blades twice in a row.

Here's my frost mage's typical screen set up:

And for those curious, here's the expertly-programmed script for my random-cast macro, entitled 'Win':

#showtooltip
/castrandom Ice Lance, Ice Lance, Time Warp, Ice Lance, Mirror Image, Ice Lance, Portal: Dalaran, Ice Lance, Polymorph, Ice Lance, Hearthstone


This macro is best utilised by simply placing one's face directly above the keyboard and rolling the face from one side of the keyboard to the other (and back!) until all enemies are dead. Follow these thoroughly theory-crafted instructions and perhaps you too might become a PvP God like me!  ;)

Nice one Sadok :D

Portal: Dalaran and Hearthstone macro'd together is so OP  ;D

I forgot to mention you can also pre-define a modifier key by using [mod:shift] instead of [modifier].

This could be handy for my burst macro if I dont want to burn my sweeping strikes. For me to use all the spells it would require me to press and hold the alt key.

Burst Macro

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier] inner rage ; deadly calm
/cast [modifier] recklessness ; 14
/cast [mod:alt] sweeping strikes
/cast [modifier] blood fury
