Recently in Macros Category

I have been growing incredibly frustrated with WoW of late, since I had grown really comfortable with questing and farming on my characters. I blogged about all of this, hoping that someone in the community would know how to fix all of this. To remind you, I have a general macro, and a Paladin macro, both of which uses the bird in Outlands and my cat in the old world, where flying is not allowed. The Paladin version has the added code to swap my aura's between Crusader and Retribution, so that I am always able to fight and fly to my best.

The old macro, posted here, was:

/cast [nocombat, nomounted] Crusader Aura; [mounted] Sanctity Aura;
/stopcasting
/use [flyable]  Cenarion War Hippogryph;
/use [nomounted,noflyable] Reins of the Swift Frostsaber
/dismount

As I explained, the aura's and the mounts are all on the GCD, which prevent them from being used one after the other. For some reason, though, even removing the aura bits still didn't actually do what I needed. The new, and working macro, is as follows:

#showtooltip
/cast [flyable] Swift Blue Gryphon; Swift Mistsaber

As you can see, the new macro, even being the extra line for the tooltip, is much shorter and more concise, but also does exactly what I need. It summons the right mount based on location, dismounts, and works perfectly after much testing. I do not see any reason, when patch 3.0.3 hits, why the following will not work.

/cast [nocombat, nomounted] Crusader Aura; [mounted] Retribution Aura;
/stopcasting
#showtooltip
/cast [flyable] Swift Blue Gryphon; Swift Mistsaber

I will, of course, let you all know when I have had a chance to test 3.0.3 for that macro and see if it truly does work as well as it does in text on the blog. Cheers!

I am in need of some help. I am trying to make my mounting macro for my Paladins work in Wrath like they do in live TBC realms right now, and it's not working. The live macro right now is:

/cast [nocombat, nomounted] Crusader Aura; [mounted] Sanctity Aura;
/stopcasting
/use [flyable]  Cenarion War Hippogryph;
/use [nomounted,noflyable] Reins of the Swift Frostsaber
/dismount

Now changing that to be the new aura I am using, and the 2 new mounts, and nothing else changing, I get this.

/cast [nocombat, nomounted] Crusader Aura; [mounted] Retribution Aura;
/stopcasting
/use [flyable]  Armored Snowy Gryphon;
/use [nomounted,noflyable] Reins of the Swift Frostsaber
/dismount

The problem, my friends, is that using the aura triggers the Global Cooldown, which means that the now casted mounts cannot be used. The only point when I can mount up is when the Crusader is being dispelled on a second macro execution. Now the only thing I can think of is that mounts, before the recent change, were not on the GCD, but as they were items had no cooldown. Anyone have any suggestions on this? Thanks!
