Help with Earthbind Macro

[Visindyr]

Hey guys. I made this really sloppy macro a long time ago to use when dueling shamans, and I need some help fixing it up.



/target earthbind totem

/cast sinister strike

/if notarget targetlasttarget



I use this in place of sinister strike and spam it. If there is no earthbind totem down, it just casts sinister strike. If there is an earthbind totem down, it gets killed, then it targets my last target.



There are a lot of problems with this macro atm, and you really have to rely heavily on yourself to make it work. For example, if I decide to run away from the earthbind totem, it will keep targeting the totem and prevent me from attacking the shaman unless i bind sinister strike separately.



Basically I want to change the macro to work like this, but I don't know how:



It needs to remain spammable

It only targets enemy earthbind totems

It is limited to a range of say, 5 yards



If possible I would like to redesign it so that instead of losing combo points by casting SS, it simply autoattacks the totem. However, I have no idea how to make autoattack spammable.



Any ideas?

I'll see what I can do. Mess around with some testing tonight.

1) It needs to remain spammable

3)It is limited to a range of say, 5 yards

1) Can do.

2) (Edit! Can do!)

3) Can't do.

4) Can do. (I think..)



I'll polish it up in a bit.

I'm pretty sure you can limit the range using a /console getdistance command. The famous sap macro (which got nerfed and had to be made into 3 macros to work again) used it and it worked like a charm.

I looked up into it for a while, it appears as if /console targetNearestDistance xxx got disabled with 3.0

Thanks for the advice though, if you can get it to work lemme know.

/clearfocus

/focus

/stopcasting

/tar [harm]Tremor T

/tar [harm]Searing T

/tar [harm]Earthbind T

/cast [harm] [target=focus,harm]Sinister Strike

/tar focus

What it does: It will focus your current target so you can re target extremely fast. It will ONLY target and cast Sinister Strike ONLY on Enemy Totems. It will never target friendly totems. the /tar list has a priority that it works in Bottom being what it will go after first and top what it will kill last. If there are no totems casted it will cast Sinister Strike on your target that is focused. This macro is button mash able. It will just keep checking for all the totems from the list bottom up.



How it works: You must be targeting an enemy that you can focus on when your target is a target you can harm [harm] it will target only totems that you can [harm] and then cast Sinister Strike on it to destroy it. Just spam it to your desire. And you will still have your target to cast whatever is needed. Using this macro will cast stop your casting and cast Sinister Strike at the totems/target (great if shamans drop grounding in middle of your cast. Re hitting the macro when you don't have a target will clear your focus so you can pick on another victim.

I have tested and can confirm this works.

As for making it an auto attack instead of sinister strike, try /startattack.
