Trinket Slot Macro Wow
Yes - there are multiple ways of identifying it: - simply the name of the trinket: /use Token of Strength OR /use 13 (top trinket slot in character pane, 14 is the bottom). Shamanistic Rage and Trinket. This macro is designed for those situations when you're surprised and need a burst - both offensive and defensive - to get back into the fight. This requires an at-use Attack Power boosting trinket. /use (trinket that you have equipped) ex. Platinum Disks of Battle /cast Shamanistic Rage. Hi, I've got a trinket that does an AoE heal on my target (similar to how Prayer of Healing works) but I can't figure out how to make a mouseover macro with it. It's in slot 13. Any help would be appreciated.
I was wondering if there is a way to first check if my trinkets are off cooldown and THEN use /use them.
Here is what the problem is.
My macros look BASICALLY something like this.
Problem with this method is when my trinkets are on Cooldown I get bombarded withItem is Not Ready YetandSpell Is Not Ready Yeterror messages, which significantly reduce my casting speed, which is a BIG problem in PVP. You know every failed spell or trinket use trigger a GCD of like 0.5 or more.
I need some way to check if the trinkets are ready before executing the /use command and if they are still on Cooldown, the macro should skip the /use 13, 14 part and proceed directly with the spell-cast.
Here is how I imagine it, USING PSEUDO-CODE to just represent my idea.
Anyone got any idea how to resolve this ? I used the Search function but didn't find anything relevant to my problem.
Name: Holy Light
#showtooltip<br />/use Core of Ripeness<br />/cast Avenging Wrath<br />/cast Holy Light
Once again, the macro is named the move that I want to mainly use, and I wont forget when I give it a quick look during combat.
I'm using '#showtooltip' to show me what I'm using. At first, when my trinket isn't used, it will show me the tooltip for the trinket 'Core of Ripeness', since it can be used. If you want, you can choose which tooltip you want the macro to show. For this example, I want it to always show 'Holy Light', instead of showing 'Avenging Wrath' at all, so, I change the first line from '#showtooltip' to '#show Holy Light'. It would look like this:
#show Holy Light<br />/use Core of Ripeness<br />/cast Avenging Wrath<br />/cast Holy Light
The second line uses my trinket 'Core of Ripeness'. Now, 'use' has different functions in World of Warcraft.
1. It can use the 'use' function of an item and 2. it can equip an item. This may be good if your trinket is always in that slot. But if you're always switching out trinkets and using them for different fights, then this macro isn't as effective. To make maximum use of this macro you will have to make sure that your 'use' trinket is in the same item slot. This is because all items on your character has a slot number. For example, your Weapons, offhand and mainhand, have the slot numbers of 17 and 16, and your relic, wand, or ranged weapon slot number is 18. For this example, I put my use trinkets in the bottom slot, which is slot number 14. To make this macro work for all the 'use' trinkets I have for the different fights and situations I would write:
#show Holy Light<br />/use 14<br />/cast Avenging Wrath<br />/cast Holy Light
Wow Macro Trinket Slot Number
For even more effectiveness, just in case you don't remember which slot your 'use' trinket is in:
#show Holy Light<br />/use 13<br />/use 14<br />/cast Avenging Wrath<br />/cast Holy Light
This will use both slots, but only your usable trinket is usable, so, the macro will use it. If you have two 'use' trinkets, the macro will use whatever is in slot 13 (the top trinket), the other trinket will have a 20 second cool down. If you're spamming this macro then there will be no problem in getting full use of both of the 'use' trinkets.
Trinket Slot Macro Wow
Tip: This is a great way to spam 'use' trinkets to get the maximum effectiveness, especially for healers. For caster damage dealers, this may not be a good macro because you may want to use your trinkets at the most opportune time. We'll go over DPS macros soon!
