Malygos Spark Macro

[Ovoxi]

Hello,

I've been trying to create a macro for using death grip on a power spark in malygos, followed by chains of ice. my 1st macro was:

Code:

/target spark
/cast death grip
/cast chains of ice

Using the macro twice will cast the chains of ice on the target after it's pulled. Works ok, but there's a problem to it. If there is no spark around, i will still be targetting malygos and i will use my death grip on it. Which is not good, since i got killed by the boss several times now after taunting him.
So now i'm thinking of a macro that will only cast death grip if my target is really a power spark.

Here are some things i tried:

Code:

/targetexact Power Spark
/cast Death Grip
/cast Chains of Ice

Doesn't work.

Code:

/cast [target=spark] death grip

Doesn't work.

Lately i'm thinking of something like this:

Code:

/target Power Spark
/cast [target=malygos] end; [] Death Grip
/targetlasttarget

This one should stop if my target is malygos. But somehow it doesn't work. maybe i've done something wrong in the macro itself.

Does anyone of you know a solution for this?

sorry mate I'm a warlock I don't have much use for macros in instances I just sit there cast CoE, corruption, and spam shadowbolt popping emp demo every minute...

I've pretty much given up my death knight, with an over abundance in the guild I bring much more to raids as a warlock

Found this in another forum. Haven't tried it myself.

/cleartarget
/target Power Spark
/cast [exists] Death Grip
/cast [exists] Chains of Ice
/target Malygos

I looks like it should work. i'll try it tonight. THX!

A useful clause which can be of use here is

/stopmacro [noexists]

[Koni]

/target power spark
/cast death grip

LOOK REALLY HARD ON YOUR TARGET!!! 

But yeah if someone can confirm a good working safe macro that also notifyes the raid if and only if the grip was done.

I found one a few days ago, complete with intro text:

This macro will:

- Assign a raid target to the spark for ease of seeing (Skull, to be precise)
- Focus the closest Power Spark
- Not do anything unless a Spark is in range, and is therefor spammable
- Relieve a little bit of the stress when you are the only DK in a 25 man raid.
- Chains of Ice the spark immediately after deathgripping it
- Switch target to Power Spark immediately after you DG it.

This macro will not:

- Deathgrip Malygos, EVER
- Assign the raid target if you are not raid assist or leader (obviously)
- Suck your *#!%
- Make you pro

/cleartarget
/targetexact Power Spark
/focus
/targetlasttarget
/stopmacro [target=focus,noexists]
/target focus
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", ;
/targetlasttarget
/cast [target=focus] Death Grip
/targetexact Power Spark
/cast Chains of Ice

[Ovoxi]

/cleartarget
/target Power Spark
/cast [exists] Death Grip
/cast [exists] Chains of Ice
/target Malygos

This macro works perfectly. Just spam it when you have to pull one and you will never taunt the boss. great!

I have been testing stormshards macro and i love it, tho i have to say that it uses 256 letters so you are going to miss one letter in /cast Chains of Ice

You could omit the line that sets the target to a raid icon if you're not an assistant.

/target Power Spark
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 8 ); (leave out the space between the 8 and ); )
/stopcasting
/cast [exists] Death Grip;
/cast [exists] Chains of Ice;
/targetexact Malygos

This macro targets the power spark, puts a skull over it, grips it if it's in range and then chains it if it's in range, then switches back to Malygos, I just made a few changes to it today, should be spammable.

similar to others but i use this one i got from another site. (i just added the chains of ice bit) completely spammable, used and tested by me.
