Crazy good information in this series. I’m relatively comfortable w/ my UI, but I’m going to see what I can do to pull in a lot of your elements. Thanks so much!

I’m loving this site. Glad I stumbled onto it.

[...] Guardian Spirit: Castable Cheat Death. Borrowing a term from our WWI resident Shadow Priest on what it essentially is. Ability to negate a killing blow. A mini-you shadows your target and if your target dies, your mini-you dies in its stead. Expect to see this bound into our oh crap macros. [...]

FOR THE RECORD: I have a fully-qualified entry-T5-level human priest. I just like my Troll better.

Yeah… I couldn’t fit a whisper or /targetlasttarget in there with it as-written. I’ll tweak it once I drop herbalism (for inscription, so it’ll be a while.) I might play around with the spell-order, although I’ll keep Shield before ProM. (personal preference) Thanks for responding, Auz!

“Any improvements would be welcome, (AUZ!! Are you listening?!?!?) but that macro has saved my bacon many, many times.”

Yes I’m listening, I suggest you roll a human and get desperate prayer AND 10% more spirit than Matt!

Actually I did put PoM before PWS on my version. My version whispers me MT with a note that says “Help Help I’m being oppressed.” Having my tank know I’m getting beat on has saved my bacon more times than I can count. Maybe add the command to return to your last target too. My version doesn’t switch my target, just casts on me. I suppose I could pull it out and paste it, but I’m lazy.

Aha the stopcasting macro is just what I’ve been looking for, I currently look quite odd moving in a twitchy manner at the back of the party. Love the series so far, I’ve been fiddling with my UI to pick up on some of the great ideas presented.

Unglar: Yes, there are multiples that trip the GCD. I just spam my little heart out, and the "use" items come into play. If any item (a healthstone, for example) is on CD, that command won't execute, and the next time I hit the button, it'll try the next line. Any improvements would be welcome, (AUZ!! Are you listening?!?!?) but that macro has saved my bacon many, many times.

Possibly a very basic question, but on your emergency macro, you seem to have multiple spells that would trip the GCD. I always thought this would stop a macro from running. Am I mistaken or do you spam the macro in a similar way to /castsequence for warlock dots?

If you’re ally, change “Orcish” to “Common”

Ok on the one macro for the life tap that one is brilliant (especially since I have locks that I group with that normally life tap themselves to death or on Najentus) but I am trying to use it and its not working it still cast the renew but does not send the tell I cut copied and pasted it to make sure the spelling and spacing was correct but still not working
