What circumstance do you want to press heroic strike, not have enough rage, and not start auto attack?Black Monarch wrote: ↑5 years agoThat would deliver acceptable results.
Try this:FTHforever wrote: ↑5 years agowrote a one button Overpower / Revenge macro but I would like to show it the current available abilities tooltip.
I triedBut it only shows the tooltip for one ability, even if in the correct stance. Any ideas?Code: Select all
#showtooltip [stance:1] Overpower, [stance:2] Revenge /startatttack /cast [stance:1] Overpower /cast [stance:2] Revenge /cast [stance:3] Battle Stance
Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/startatttack
/cast [stance:1] Overpower
/cast [stance:2] Revenge
/cast [stance:3] Battle StanceI don't have a warrior right now with those skills, but I did write something similar to test on my druid with stances and it seemed like it worked.
@FTHforever the comma after overpower should be a ; afaik.

From the beginning of Classic this time around I decided to learn how to use them and man they make a huge fucking difference. You should give it a shot.Stupeed wrote: ↑5 years agoI just right click on the target, never failed, always worked. Q E R, strafe A/D. Disarm Macro, B Rage Macro.
Best and worst thing about warriors, is that you need a lot of muscle memory. But once you get it, you're a god.
I didn't know anything about /startattack macro, that's a thing to keep in mind now I guess.
If I can give any tip for people in here, use this /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() to hide the annoying "You're too far away", "Not enough mana" popup on the screen. That's as far as I go on macro knowledge D:
Here's an example of a macro I use. Sometimes I want to attack something in bear form, but don't have any rage. I press Maul and nothing happens. I press it again, still no rage, I'm still standing there. I'm sure that as a warrior you know this experience well. I could right click the mob to start attacking it, but I've already lost time and I'm getting behind in threat generation. It's a bad situation all around. So instead of putting maul directly on my action bar, I made a macro that looks like this instead:
I put this on my action bar instead of maul. This time if I go up to a mob and press my maul keybind without enough rage, I at least start swinging. I don't have to spend time to realize that I lack rage, I don't spend time realizing that I need to right click to start attacking, I don't lose any time at all. I immediately start attacking. I don't get my maul because I don't have rage, but I don't waste time just standing there either. No matter how good your muscle memory is, these macros save you time and saved time equates to better performance no matter what role you're in.Code: Select all
#showtooltip maul /startattack /cast maul
Note that the /startattack command starts attack. It does not stop attack. This means that pressing it twice in a row does not cancel auto attack. I bring this up because the stock keybind of 'T' for auto attack does switch auto attack on and off and cycles through on/off every time you press. The /startattack command does not behave this way. Every time you press the button for this macro it will ensure that you are auto attacking.
You should consider replacing every attack on your bar with a macro like the one above. Just replace 'Maul' with the name of whatever your attack is. And note that you just type out the name of attacks with multiple words, no use of quotation marks or anything. For example, this is what Heroic Strike would look like for you:
Also note that if you select the "?" macro icon and start the macro with #showtooltip <name of spell>, then the system will automatically replace the ? icon with the correct icon of the spell named in the #showtooltip command. This happens after you drag it to your action bar and close the macro interface. I just learned this trick last night and it's already saved me a lot of time trying to find the right icon manually.Code: Select all
#showtooltip Heroic Strike /startattack /cast Heroic Strike
@Black Monarch you should consider this too because it means you get your attack button off your action bar, you get another keybind back, and you don't lose time having to activate this. Just incorporate it into all of your attacks through macros like this.

Think you did the work for us with the "Modest Proposal" and block anyone who disagrees with me (paraphrasing) threads...Black Monarch wrote: ↑5 years agoIn other words, you like to talk a lot of shit but can't back it up with evidence.
In all honesty, make your posts, but don't get so surprised when you're met with resistance. New ideas aren't necessarily bad, but trying to alter this game that thousands of us have been trying to get back into the "classic" state likely isn't going to be embraced with open arms. Seriously, it's been over a decade that we haven't had access to this game we loved and missed in any official capacity, and within weeks, folks who clearly aren't the target audience are asking that it be substantially changed. This pushback is amplified by some threads like this that show you're not the most experienced player with classic. Nothing wrong with being new, but perhaps you should take classic for what it is, or find an experience that's more in line with what you're looking for.

I have most my keybinds macroed with startattack, especially for PvP because if someone is lagging or running around you like crazy with either sprint or similar it is hard to right click (Which I usually do when casually leveling because of the predictable movement of the mobs).
So most attacks are macroed, if I maybe want to tag a mob with a melee hit and don't want to waste mana or for what ever reason, I just right click.

It wasn't satire because you had no point. Satire uses exaggeration and mocking to call out people's inadequacies, all you did was name your post after a piece of famous satire and purpose dumb ideas.Black Monarch wrote: ↑5 years agoYou mean you're too retarded to notice obvious satire?

If you were say, making fun of people proposing changes by proposing a bunch of stuff that made it obvious that #nochanges was your logical stance, then it would be satire.

I have attack on my hotbar cause I like clicking buttons. I don't really care for using macros, but I'm not being an elitist about it like some people in this thread who adores macros.

Either way, if you actually read my post, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and have a tempered discussion about your posts. I shan't make that mistake again. Happy shitposting.
No, it was satire, mocking the Legion legendary system, and some people were too dumb to realize it (or did not witness the idiocy that was the Legion legendary system).

You were obviously proposing the legion legendary system, but what was your point? Everyone hated the legion legendary system, which is why we came to classic. So you were proposing the putting that system in classic because..... ?Black Monarch wrote: ↑5 years agoNo, it was satire, mocking the Legion legendary system, and some people were too dumb to realize it (or did not witness the idiocy that was the Legion legendary system).

Yes I do, but I don't feel like you do. Let's investigate.
sar·casm
/ˈsärˌkazəm/
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt
mock·er·y
/ˈmäk(ə)rē/
noun
teasing and contemptuous language or behavior directed at a particular person or thing.
Your "satire" post used neither teasing nor contemptuous language, so it does not appear to be mockery. I believe you thought you were being ironic, but you weren't, so it wasn't really sarcasm.
Hmm...
i·ro·ny1
/ˈīrənē/
noun
the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
You were close, but to express your meaning, you would have needed to have a point. Which brings us back to my original question, what was your point?

Last night, I showered for the first time since Classic launched. I feel like I really accomplished something and am getting my life together.
That the Legion legendary system was retarded, and if you had suggested it to the 2004 dev team, they would have thought you were on drugs.

As much as the dude needs to calm down it was clearly a baited shitpost in regards to the legendary system.
With that though, as much as I enjoy shitposts, it has a time and place. This forum is mostly used as a go-to place for quick advice, tips, guides and overall sharing the game experience. It's not like Something Awful where you can spam shitpost threads, I don't think its appropriate for this type of forum and only clutters the important stuff from the public view. If you want to comment on threads with random shit then sure but spitting our threads is kinda rude.
