Warrior Macro: One Button Intervene


For this episode I will be covering a One button Intervene macro for Warriors;

I use this macro all the time now since they made Intervene usable in all stances. 



Here is how this macro works: 
This macro will cast Intervene  on your target, if you have one. If you don’t, it will cast Intervene on the nearest friendly ally. When done, it goes back to your original target if you had one. This macro is a lot of fun in PVP. You can add some modifiers if you know how to make your own macros if you want to customize it further, for example substitute the target friendly command with the name of one of your banners or a shaman’s totem.

Achievement Macro: Shado-Pan


For this episode I will be covering an achievement Maco I got off of Cold's Gold Factory;

The Getting Around With The Shado-Pan Achievement requires you to complete 15 daily quests with each of the Shado-Pan Heroes.  (You just need to have them when you turn in the quests.)  Since you can only choose one per day, you need to keep an eye on which ones you have or haven't yet used, instead of always taking your favorite Shado-Pan hero along on your dailies. 

There is also no default way to track your progress with the Getting Around With The Shado-Pan Achievement .  Go to the site for an awesome macro that you can copy / paste and create an in-game macro to check your progress with the Shado-Pan Achievement. 

/run local a=7298 print(format("\124cffFFFF00TODO for %s\124r",GetAchievementLink(a)))for i=1,GetAchievementNumCriteria(a)do local d,_,c,x,y=GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(a,i)if not c then print(format("%s %d/%d",d,x,y))end end

Once you create this macro, simply pressing the macro button will list all of the Shadow-Pan heroes that you are still progressing for the achievement.  Once you have completed 15 Shado-Pan quest turn-ins with a specific hero that Shado-Pan hero will no longer display when you press this macro.  So create the macro and save yourself the trouble of figuring out which heroes you still need for the achievement.

Hunter Macro: Burst DPS


For this episode I will be covering a Burst DPS Macro for Hunters;


If you have ever needed to burst your DPS to open or to close a kill then you’ll want to check this macro out. Once you get set up it’s a good idea to test it out on a training dummy a few times to get used to how it works.

Here is how this macro works: 

  • Use Rapid Fire and Stampede
  •  Use both of your trinkets
  • Use your slot 10 or any other “on use” item
  • Use a Potion
  • Use Blood Fury racial if you are an Orc
  • Use Berserking racial if you are a Troll

Directly after using this macro I go into my full rotation and at the end of the first cycle hit “Lynx Rush” for extra DPS. This macro is great for questing when you have a target that is over the normal amount of health. I have found it particularly useful while doing the Kalaxxi hidden dailies.
