Macro Modifiers

Would like to give a brief explanation in how modifiers work in a macro and options you got.

/cast [mod] Spell X; - This one works with any of the 3 keys
/cast [mod:shift] Spell X;
/cast [mod:ctrl] Spell X;
/cast [mod:alt] Spell X;
/cast [mod:shift/alt] Spell X;
/cast [mod:ctrl/alt] Spell X;

This modifiers serve the purpose of adding extra utility spell by holding 1 of the 3 keys, could be “Alt”, “Ctrl” or “Shift.” If you hold the key, it would light up with the spell icon you input after the modifier. Remember this modifier goes before the actual spell you would like to cast for spamming.

/cast [mod] Rend; Heroic Strike

This macro would respond with no modifiers to a single ability which is Heroic Strike, if hold a modifier key like mentioned before it will try to use Rend ability.

It’s weird because I use it everyday and my friend also. Make sure there are no spaces before the “/” and the proper format looks correct.

I’ve also been looking into trying to find additional mod keys.
If anyone finds anything please update this post with your findings.

There aren’t additional mod keys. Blizzard has limited the mods to Combinations of Shift, Alt and Control. Also to note if shift + 1 is bound somewhere and you have the macro on the 1 key, the binding to the other thing takes precedence over the macro.
