Spell & Trinket Combination

Hello,

Is there a way to combine Bestial Wrath (Beastmaster Hunter ability, 2 min. CD) with Devilsaur Eye (Hunter Trinket, 2 min. CD as well)? I have already tried the macro below but it did not work:

/cast Bestial Wrath
/use Devisaur Eye


P.S. I would be thankful if anyone mentions a command that works like #showtooltip too.

With regards,
Capri

A few things...

Unless one of those doesn't trigger the global cooldown, you won't be able to use them simultaneously. One cooldown trigger per macro.

Second thing is that /cast and /use should require SuperMacro or something similar. In vanilla WoW, the macro API was much different, and uses CastSpellByName("Beastial Wrath") and UseInventoryItem(14). If you have SuperMacro, then ignore this "issue".

The last thing is, sadly, there is no #showtooltip. This was also added later when they changed the way macros were done (can't remember if it was TBC or a little later they added #showtooltip). The closest things you can get are maybe SuperMacros option to replace buttons, which is just going to give you the button for the first thing it finds (Beastial Wrath), and you can add this line to the beginning of the macro:
Code: Select all
/run if 1==0 then cast("Beastial Wrath");end

That should show the cooldown for BW.

Trinkets do not trigger the general GCD

/use requires supermacro, /cast doesn't

Thanks for introducing SuperMacro lads. It did help a lot.

/use requires supermacro, /cast doesn't


I stand corrected.

I would highly recommend SuperMacro, though. If you plan to use many macros, it will make things a lot easier, and quite a few of the macro lists you'll find on the forums will require it.
