PoM Macro?

Recommended Posts

I'm using a variant of the suggested PoM/Pyro macro suggested in your guide. It doesn't seem to work... as in with a single press, it "long" casts Pyro... what am I doing wrong?

#show Pyroblast

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0

/use Lifeblood

/cast Prescence of Mind

/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

/script UIErrorsFrame:Show()

/cast Pyroblast

Would it make a difference if you replaced /run UIErrorsFrame:Clear() by /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() ?

Argh, I did NOT see that, thanks for seeing it! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick, when I invoke the macro, PoM seems to NOT get used/cast (I put it on my bar so I could see it "cooling down" and it did not) and I have the 3+ sec cast time for the Pyro.

Not terribly familiar with macro code... but maybe it's that you can't have 2 cast commands in one macro that doesn't use "/castsequence?" Or could it be some interference w/Lifeblood? This has been a long standing macro Ive used where I just inserted the cast for PoM... can the order of commands be a factor?

And thanks for all you do!

I'm not positive, but your best bet is to test for yourself. Just put POM on your bars, use Lifeblood, and see if it puts POM on a temporary CD. If so, then they will not work together in a macro, and that is your problem.

Sorry I was being lazy thinking someone could spot the issue... took some time to find out what was going on and found that with only 2 statements in the macro, cast PoM and Pyro, it does NOT work.

THEN I realized what an idiot I am... d/oh, it's spelled Presence, not Prescence!

I'm going to go rain some fire on my own head to atone!

Always. Always. ALWAYS.

Test your macros here: Fitzcairn's Macro Explain-o-matic

This site is very useful :U

However, I noticed it doesn't want to recognize the difference between /use and /cast.

Wait, not so much the DIFFERENCE, but the fact that they are one in the same. I put in a macro that has " /use [@focus] Polymorph " into it and it said it didn't recognise the ITEM.

silly little things like this don't demean its overall usefulness at all though :P

      Hello everyone,
      Last patch gave us 40% and 10% damage increase on ray of frost and glacial spike
      Does anyone know of these changes make them relevant ?
      Should frost mage play with these or one of these now ?

      Hello everyone! When i downloaded the recent shadowlands expansion, i noticed that my macros no longer worked =0. This is not a single target DPS  macro, this is a Help / Harm selective macro So i did some digging to find out what was goin on, An example of this would be : /cast [help] Innervate ; [harm] Entangling Roots ; Innervate.  This macro utilizes one button for a dual purpose. if i am targeted on friend i innervate them while if i and targeting a opponent it would root them in place. This structure is now broken but has also made things easier in most cases, After doing some digging i discovered some new macros and the new format. Some examples of the new way to write this would be :
       #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]innervate
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Entangling Roots
      #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]Regrowth
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Wrath
      #showtooltip
      /cast [harm,nodead][@target,harm,nodead]Moonfire
      /cast [help,nodead][@target,help,nodead]Rejuvenation
      #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]Wild Growth
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Entangling Roots
      This is what they call a fall through macro, If the first line of code is not available because of a cooldown or if the Help or Harm selection, it will fall through to the next line of code. This works especially well for balance druids, shaman, and hybrid healing classes that use a ton of buttons. You can cut the amount of keys you need press in half which saves space and prevents accidentally pressings the wrong button. I like to pair my spells by the time it takes to cast, Instant casts with instant casts. They also introduces a mouse over macro for heals and rebuffs which is really good for world PVP. One of the better macros iv'e seen is a mouse over Rebirth : 
       #showtooltip Rebirth
      /cast [@mouseover,help]Rebirth;Rebirth
      #showtooltip Remove Corruption
      /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][target=target] Remove Corruption
       
      If you are going to try and make your own macro, you should keep in mind
      1: The Global Cool Down or GCD which is the time it takes between 2 casts and
      2: Not all of your spells and trinkets share a GCD, so you are able to cast 2 or 3 spells at the exact same time as long as it doesn't share a GCD.
      I hope this helps!

      Hi everyone. So I've read the guide on fire mage here on Icy-veins and got some questions related to single target rotation. First I'd like to ask about the meteor. It is mentioned that meteor should be used with Rune of Power which is fairly easy to do since Rune of Power is always ready when Metor is off cooldown. However It's also mentioned that Meteor should always be available when Combustion comes off cooldown. Now Combustion has a 2 min cooldown and meteor has 45 sec cooldown. I can use meteor twice while Combustion is on cooldown. However If I use Meteor twice , It is on cooldown when Combustion is ready. Should I wait for Combustion and not cast Meteor on the second time until Combustion is ready?
      Second what I'd like to ask is about Combustion after the opener. Its mentioned that I need a hot streak before I pop It. I fish for Pyros by casting Fireball until I get a crit and then use Fire Blast. However when I get an Hot streak I'm already mid-casting Fireball. Should I cancel the cast and cast Rune of Power or should I let that Fireball hit and immediately after start casting Rune of Power?
      It's also mentioned that I need to have a Fire Blast charge always ready before going in Combustion phase. Should I save up a charge and ignore the Heating Ups I get regardless and hope for Fireball to crit twice or basically wait for Fire Blast to get another charge?
      Thanks ?
