WotLK Why would my castsequence macro not work?

[Nolrac]

Hello! I hope someone can help me with my macro. My mage wants to cast Fireball first then followed by Frostbolt, but the following macro doesn't work for me.

/castsequence reset=1 Fireball, Frostbolt


Any ideas? Thank you!

reset=1 means it will reset after 1 second and start casting from first spell

try reset=3 or 4

I did that and it still does not work the way it should. My character always just casts the first spell.

Even with macros like these:

/cast Fireball
/cast Frostbolt

My character just casts the first spell and stops there. Is the macro bugged?

I copied your
/castsequence reset=1 Fireball, Frostbolt
Doesn't work. Why? it resets back to Fireball before you even finish the cast.
With reset=4, that will only leave you small window to cast Frostbolt (reset time - fireball cast time = time you have left to begin casting frostbolt).

/cast Fireball
/cast Frostbolt
This macro is just trying to make your character cast both spells at same time. So it would never work, unless there's instant non-GCD Frostbolt proc.

I tried

/castsequence reset=4 Fireball, Frostbolt

But it still does not work.

My wotlk is probably bugged. I can't think of any other explanation. :(

just use

/cast [nomod] fireball
/cast [mod:shift] frostbolt
#showtooltip

it will work just like if you would pull fireball spell in your bar and when you hold down Shift it will cast frostbolt. Very simple and easy way to keep all your spells in reach.
You can even go

/cast [nomod] fireball
/cast [mod:shift] frostbolt
/cast [mod:Alt] Frost nova
/cast [mod:Ctrl] ice block

or put multiple spells when you tap it, for example dps cooldowns

/cast [nomod] Blink
/cast [mod:shift] Morror Image
/cast [mod:shift] icy veins
/use [mod:shift] Your Trinket
/cast [mod:shift] Berserking(Racial)

Also comfortable macro
/cast [nomod] ice block
/cancelaura [mod:shift] ice block

Way more reliable, castsequence is just.. not good and limits you greatly. This takes some time for your fingers to adjust, just play and you muscle memory will take over.

Wow! This is really great advice! Thank you very much! I'll be sure to try this one out! :)
