Hey, I'd just like some help with a macro if anyone here has some knowledge about that? I'm very bad at making macros myself
<
.



It's not a very important macro bu saves up time/bar slots. What I'd like is a single macro that makes me swicth between my Sharpened Scarlet Kris and my Furbolg Medecine Pouch in off-hand. Would be very greatful if someone could help



Also a question since i'm slightly on the topic. What's better the pouch or the dagger? Guessing the dagger, it's always what I use. But I dunno.



Thanks,

Enone
 
From my knowledge, you want to start a fight with medicine pouch for the extra 100 health, once you loose 100 health, switch to the dagger and just as you are about to heal (Lifeblood, First Aid, Health Potions) you want to equip the pouch again? As for the macro;

/equipslot 17 Balanced Heartseeker

Pouch gives more hit because of 1H, always start with pouch and switch.. so you the advantage of 100hp extra



/target focus

/use Heavy Runecloth Bandage

/targetlasttarget



/duel



/forfeit



/cast shadowmeld

/sit



/script ConvertToRaid(); ((script btw))



/run SetAllowLowLevelRaid(true) - ((script))



Easily swap to dagger in OH - /Equipslot 17 Sharpened Scarlet Kris

The pouch isn't neccesary because its an off hand.. just drag it into an action bar:)
 
you get more dps from the BoA mace and swords than you will from the daggers. As to when its better to DW versus SW + Furbolg, that's situational. There's a ton of posts in these forums that outline the PVP and PVE situations.



as for the macro there are a ton of ways to do it.



1) The easiest - setup and name it in the built in Equipment Manager. Lets say your Dual Wield set is named DW and your Single Wield + Furbolg is names SW. Make a macro that says:



Code: 
/equipset DW

and one that says

Code: 
/equipset SW



2) Get an addon like Itemrack or Outfitter and set it up that way



3) If you really want to, but it would be silly to really, you could macro it yourself with something like:

Code: 
/equipslot16 [nomod] Fine Scimitar

/equipslot17 [nomod] Furbolg Medicine Pouch

/equipslot16 [mod:shift] Keen Machete

/equipslot17 [mod:shift] Simple Dagger



this will make it so that if you hit your equip macro twice, you'll load your 1H+Furbolg and if you hold shift and hit your equip macro twice, you'll be dual wielding



4) there are also the bag slot macros, but those will only work if your items are in the specific bag slot space you say they are in the macro. (i.e. - don't use this because it can be unreliable)



Code: 
/script if ( not CursorHasItem() ) then PickupContainerItem(0, 1); PickupInventoryItem(1); PickupContainerItem(0, 1); PickupContainerItem(0, 2); PickupInventoryItem(17); PickupContainerItem(0, 2); end



this will only work if your mainhand items are in your backpack in the 1st slot and if your offhand items are in your backpack in the 2nd slot. If not, it will try to equip whatever is in those places. you can adjust this by changing the values in the script.

So I should have a sword or mace in offhand instead of dagger?

Also, I don't think you guys really got my point. I want to be able to switch my offhand between 2 different items with a single macro if that's possible? I rather not use up two bar slots if I don't have to.

So you're saying I can use my pouch until i drop 100hp, and then switch to a weapon and I will not have lost my health? I was considering if that was possible, but figured that no one does it at 85 so I thought it's probably not.



Also, raid? LvL 1 can still be in a raid group? And what's the difference between script and macro?

Sorry have got 0 knowledge in that.

idk why I wrote script behind it.. you write it in a macro & save it.. but the script is more like.. permanent I think? It runs a software or something like that.. In this case it lets you make a raid.. then u gotta use a command to make the raid grp cause u cant click the button.

Yeah thanks mate! Just tried it out, awesome. I had no idea it was possible anymore. Does this mean I can be in a raid where they do [For The Alliance!] for an example?

only if you start the raid...you still aren't able to join them



also, macros don't need to be tied to bar slots...just to a key sequence.



however, this will work for what you're asking. Just make two different equipment sets in your in game equipment manager, the macro uses DW and SW. Then just click it once for your equipment set 1, and shift click it for your equipment set 2





Code: 
/equipset [nomod] DW

/equipset [mod:shift] SW
 
Ah alright thanks a bunch. And apparently I am able to join them :S. I'm ina raid where they farm bloodsail rep ATM. They didn't need to write the script or anything. Just invited me and I got in. Was it cuz I wrote the script myself earlier?
 
nope ... it sure doesn't
<




modifier/nomodifier was changed apparently to mod/nomod. I rewrote (and tested this time
<
) this one, and it does work. You need to setup your gear in the equipment manager in two different sets. Clicking the macro 1 time will equip your first set, and shift-clicking it will equip your second set.



You can rename your item sets whatever you want (i just did SW and DW for ease of the macro) and your can change your modifier to a different key if you want (like alt, ctrl, etc.)



Code: 
/equipset [nomod] DW

/equipset [mod:shift] SW



I couldn't get it to work with equipslot for some reason...
 
#showtooltip

/equipslot17 sharpened scarlet kris

/equipslot17 furbolg medicine pouch



Macros (particularly weaponslot macros) abide by the GCD rule, and so you do not need any sort of specific \ terminate commands included.

Press the macro once and it will equip the BoA dagger, hit it again and it puts the pouch back on.



I don't use it anymore (since 3 GCD's for a shiv isn't worth it imo), but this should work because it is what I used to use for my shiv macros. If you are worried about being confused, then you can just make multiple macros for all of your offhands and then bind them with shift+, alt+, ctrl+, etc.



If you want to do it all in one macro, it is a little more type work, but accomplishes the same sort of thing.



#showtooltip

/equipslot17 [mod:nomod] sharpened scarlet kris

/equipslot17 [mod:nomod] furbolg medicine pouch <--- I am not 100% sure if this will work. Ideally, it will swap the unequipped in.

/equipslot17 [mod:shift] weapon B

/equipslot17 [mod:ctrl] weapon C

/equipslot17 [mod:alt] weapon D
 
Thanks alot for the help!

"/equipset [nomod] DW

/equipset [mod:shift] SW" Worked out fine so that's what I'll go with. Don't ming pressing alt, I just like when it's one single macro that does different things
<




Cheers and thanks again! ^^
 
@volsci - yeah, i tried that, but it kept putting the dagger in the main hand...i couldn't figure out why, so i just went with the equipset
 
If you have two scarlet kris's then it only registers the dagger once, so if you use the same weapon with different (or the same) enchants and try to put one in offhand, if you already have one equipped, it will not work.



You need to do this: /equipslot17 [insert item ID here]

Alas, I apologize that i do not remember the script to find an item's id :Z
