Ok so if I make this macro in WoW it stays like this:
/cast [known:Tempest] Tempest; Chain Lightning
However, if I put this exact line in GSE and save it, it then turns into:
/cast [known:Tempest] Lightning Bolt; Chain Lightning
How do I make it in GSE stay on /cast [known:Tempest] Tempest; Chain Lightning
Anyone? I guess it is a no?
you don’t, you need to cast lightning bolt as Tempest is only a proc to buf lightning bolt
if you use a default macro in-game, ok, it may work because the game does read the actual skill name, not the skill ID.
But GSM works different, if you want to use the buffed skill, you need first to condition the buff proc to use later use the skill itself.
That said, this is the correct line for GSE blocks
/cast [known:Tempest] Lightning Bolt; Chain Lightning
This way, GSE will change the block line Lightning Bolt into Tempest when it does have the buff up and use Tempest as you want.
If the line isn’t working as you want, try this:
/cast [known:Tempest] Lightning Bolt; [noknown:Tempest] Chain Lightning
Ok, I will try those.. So the prob is, I use 2 macros in game. 1 is ST and other is AOE. That line is for my AOE macro and since it defaults to the single target Lightning Bolt,. it ruins it.
Thanks for answering and taking the time.
I’m not sure if I get the problem, but if this helps:
AOE that I use
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,known:Tempest] Lightning Bolt
/cast [nomod,noknwn:Tempest] Chain Lightning; [nomod, known:Tempest] Lightning Bolt
This macro will cast priority Tempest when you have the buff up, if you don’t it’ll cast Chain Lighting
if you have 2 buffs of Tempest and the rotation is cycling through all the other blocks you can press ALT and fire Tempest when needed prior to other blocks
But, and here a big enphasys on but!
/cast [known:Tempest] Lightning Bolt; [noknown:Tempest] Chain Lightning
this also don’t cast Lightning Bolt if you don’t have Tempest buff available.
