Ok so I've been playing retail WoW using the modern version of the addon "clique" for years and since it was never backported and the old version is a totally different addon i want to recreate the same setup manually by making my own macros but i never created any so i need some help from someone experienced with these things.
I'm a healer and there's a couple of abilities I'm trying to "merge" together to save some space on my action bars and be more efficient with my kit.
Exemple #1: I want the same macro to trigger both Mind Sear AND Prayer of Mending. Not at the same time obviously because they both trigger the GCD and using them together make no sense. If I'm just targeting the enemy i want to cast Mind Sear. If i MOUSEOVER a teammate portrait i want to throw Prayer of Mending at him instead.
Exemple #2: I want to combine both my dispels together. If i point somewhere in the screen i want it to be Mass Dispel, if i mouseover a portrait i want to cast Dispel Magic instead.
Exemple #3: If i cast Inner Focus i also want to trigger trinket X,Y or Z.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this out!
I suggest you use modifier keys in macros, otherwise it will be very clunky, unreliable.
So, something like this 1#:
/cast [nomod] mind sear
/cast [mod:shift, @mouseover] prayer of mending
/cast [mod:alt, @player] prayer of mending
replace mind sear with mass dispel, mending with dispel magic for your 2# macro
This way you wont accidentally remove shadowform and such, it will happen only if you send clear command by holding down the modifier key.
And 3#
/cast inner fire
/use 13
That's pretty much it, 13 and 14 are trinket slot numbers.
Put in another line in every macro
#showtooltip
so it shows you spells description when you mouse over the macro in your toolbar. Leave macro icon as default red question mark, it will use spells icons then and change nicely when you press modifier keys.
If this is not your jam, you need to find an addon.
