Typing /macro in a macro, you can create a macro to open the macro window
-
...watched this incase I had missed a trick with wow macro's - and there it was - Rainbows!
-
A friend of mine macro`d "/roar" into every single one of his Prot Paladin buttons... he got kicked from his M+ Group :D
-
Protip: when making modifier macros, instead of creating another line and copy of "/use ", you can save space by adding a ; after the spell you're using. Eg. "/use [mod:shift] Devour Magic; Spell Lock" will give your warlock its interrupt on a normal push, but remove a magic effect from your target on a shift-push. ^_^

Like your "I'm Hazel" macro, I created one for my Worgen warrior that would yell, "Squirrel!" every time I Heroic Leaped at something.
-
Tell me we all remember every Death Knight macro'd "get over here" with Death Grip?
-
"HI I'M HAZEL *MURDERS COW*"

This is one of my favorite macros for mount summoning. I got a few favorite mounts I use, but sometimes I need to use a specific mount (for vendor/repairs, taxiing my friend, or if I'm underwater). /cast [mod:shift, mod:ctrl] Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder /cast [mod:alt] Sandstone Drake /cast [mod:ctrl] Grand Expedition Yak /cast [mod:shift] Sky Golem /run if SecureCmdOptionParse"[nomod]"then C_MountJournal.SummonByID(0)end Hold down Shift and Ctrl, it'll summon my Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder Alt... Sandstone Drake Ctrl... Grand Expedition Yak Shirt... Sky Golem If no mods are used, it'll summon a random mount that you have favorited. Press it a 2nd time and it'll dismount you. (Any suggestions to improve it are welcome)

One of my gnome priests (I, er, have a few) yells "YAAAAAARGH!" every time he uses Psychic Scream. Another says "Bless your little cotton socks!" when she heals people. I also have Hunter's Mark and /petattack macroed together on my hunters. Those mouseover macros, though, thank you! A lot of my toons are going to be using those.

Hi Hazel, love the video - U taught me something "/wm " so I'm returning the favor - "/tm [1-8]" instead of /run script also if u have a targeting macro u spam and u want to place a target marker and leave it on "/tm 9"(doesn't exist) "/tm [1-8]" - this will prevent the tm from blinking on/off

Been playing for 15 years, the @cursor and @player are going to make life better! Always learning!
-
I absolutely love help/harm macros on my healers for M+ combine it with mouseover so I can target enemies to dps and just hover allies to heal.
-
My friends and I would get together on Saturday to run dungeons. One night I left my laptop unattended and one of my friends changed all my buttons to yell something every time I pressed them. They thought it was hilarious. I thought so later.

My favourite flavor macro is "An illusion? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?" in my NB's racial :)

Warlock: 1. pet attack and opener macroed together, so my pet will attack whoever I recently cast immolate. Knowing this, you can control your pet easier even when you cancel the cast. Also, pet will start attacking at the start of the cast rather than then end of the cast. 2. "G" for me is life drain, Shift G is health funnel 3. Rclick to place demonic portal. That way place demonic port, and port to demonic portal are no longer two buttons. also, there is a console command to prevent the "item not ready" spam when you macro toys to spells (as you should).

Hey Hazel, one of my favourites is "/swapactionbar 1 2" which does, what the arrows next to your action bar in the standard UI do. With this trick you can have multiple spells, that are on the GCD in a pseudo castrandom-macro. Now you can combine that with castsequence, reset-conditions and internal CDs of skills to create all kinds of loops and priority systems. For example on my brewmaster monk, I was able to combine: - Keg Smash (used on pull and on CD) - Blackout Kick (used on CD) - Ironskin Brew (used every 6sec) - Tiger Palm (used every 6sec) into a single button with no modifier needed

Back in Cataclysm, before I took a rest from WoW for roller derby, I had a couple of macros on my mage to let the my guild know what I was doing. There was “Expelliarmous, err, no.... ungulate!” hooked in to polymorph, and “Let’s do the time warp again...” on, well time warp.
-
Good video. There are macros also to use your generic trinkets Which can be: /use [bag slot number for the trinket, can be 11 or 12] Example: /use 11

I imagine some are going to say that this all super basic. But as someone that never really messed with macros, I really appreciate this guide. Thank you.

/castsequence macros can be really useful for spells that are always cast in a sequence. I.e. for a spriest’s searing nightmare something like /castsequence reset=3 Mind Sear, Searing Nightmare, Searing Nightmare Will make a single button that can be pressed three times and will, in sequence, cast searing nightmare while channeling mind sear (which is the only time it ever gets pressed).
