Hi Guys,
So I am searching for a macro that will recast Drain Soul after its full duration finishes - I need it for Soul Shard farming from the dummies. Instead of repeatedly waiting for Drain Soul to end and cast it again simply to recast itself after its end - if not ''infinite times'' - at least as much as possible.
I am new to macros in general, I tried finding on the Net but to no avail. If someone can please make this macro for all of us locks out there ! It would be of great help as it would save a lot of time doing Soul Shard farming instead of PVP/PVE.
And also if someone can explain or give a guide to all the macro commands such as ''/cast'' and etc it would be really appreciated - I dont mean guides to creating macros because there are such guides on the Net - I mean the exact use of all the commands in the macro itself (such as ''/cast'').
Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

I don't think that's possible.There is a timer,but you can't use it for spells.

An macro for this would be cool, but i dont think its possible either.
Go for the addon instead

Spammable drain soul:
/cast [nochanneling] drain soul

Recast macro is not possible, since it would be simple to make 1 button rotations and macro based bots.

Using aftercast
/aftercast /cast Drain Soul
/cast [nochannel] Drain Soul

Should work did it with the wild growth on druid if not I will use ace3 timers

Well Hei - I copied this to the macro :

/aftercast /cast Drain Soul
/cast [nochannel] Drain Soul

but after trying to use it the macro doesnt do anything and gives a yellow text :
'' Unknown macro option : channel '' on the lower left in the chat panel.
Any ideas ?

It is [nochanneling]

/aftercast works only with the addon Aftercast
It's outdated (2006). I downloaded it but didn't test yet.

Oopps lol

Tried it with [nochanneling] , it cast but nothing after that , as if I cast a normal Drain Soul.
Ill try again after I download and ''install'' the add-on , I am a bit busy for additional work these days so I ll probably try it after a few days, I ll report my findings , If someone tries it too - please post for us to see the result , wish me luck XD !

Sadly guys I downloaded Aftercast and tried the macro again :

''/aftercast /cast Drain Soul
/cast [nochanneling] Drain Soul ''

It cast but after it - nothing.


So Myth which add-on ?
Hei please tell us more about ace3 timers ?

It wont work dude, aftercast is an addon to do emote or say something in chat when the spell is casted. I dont know about ace3 timers but its probably the same thing, there is no legit way to make a spell recast itself.

Hmm wasn't sure if it would work with ace3

That may work if not maybe our new development Natrist who knows lua better then me can make something that will allow casting

PS I believe casting from addon is protected

/in only supports chat commands. It is impossible to make an auto-recast macro. Blizzard made sure of it.

Well it's not impossible there are lua unlocker lol I don't trust them though
