• Just wondering about a macro for Using a trinket based on its slot id instead of item id? Question I want to make a forever macro that shows tooltip with a modifier of shift.
• /use 13 (top trinket slot in character pane, 14 is the bottom) jemaris. /use That on Use Trinket Or macro it with a cooldown spell /cast Tiger's Fury.
• This macro is a rebuild of the above TotT macro, this one simply puts the focus target function into the macro itself and allows you to select your Focus target by targetting them and clicking this macro, then select the target to be TotT'ed to the Focus and hit the macro and up goes TotT.

Equip TrinketName in slot 14 End Macro Else if right-clicked Equip TrinketName in slot 13 End Macro It never even gets to the 'or if right-clicked'- it just reads the first command and then ends the macro. By swapping it around, you get: If right-clicked Equip TrinketName in slot 13 End Macro Else Equip TrinketName in slot 14 End Macro.

Macro Formatting Guidelines

Note: With the release of 6.0.2, many spells have been renamed, and much of the scripted command functionality has been modified. In an effort to keep Wowpedia posts relevant, please re-validate and re-post macros that work in the current version.

Re-Creating Old Macros

When re-creating a macro in Useful macros please

• follow the example format posted below (to get the frame around your macro, add a space before you start it)
• describe what it does
• note the version of WoW in which you tested it
• remove it from the Old Macros page

Example Macro

• Use: This yells, 'Hooray, I made a macro!'
• Works in 6.x

Useful Macros

Switch language

• Credit: Telarrus @ US-MoonGuard. Based on original code by Yza @ EU-Ysondre.
• Use: Intelligent swicth between default and racial language for races that have one. Does nothing for races with only one language.
• Works in 7.3.5

Cycle language

• Credit: Kiingy @ US-Frostmourne. Based off the above switch language macro.
• Use: For those with only 2 languages it will toggle between them. For those with 3+ it will cycle through each of them, moving to the next language on click.
• Works in 8.0.1, for both factions and all races/classes.

Swapping Talents, Equipment and Stances

Swap Current Dual-Spec Talent

• Credit: Earthsoul of Thunderhorn, many thanks to Desiday of Antonidas for inspiration
• Use: 'Quickly' swaps your Primary/Secondary talent specs.
• Also changes your equipped item set, only need to change the name of Eq1 and Eq2
• Works in 3.1.1

Here is one that switches the set before the spec (may avoid some errors):

Just have to replace PSS with the name of your primary spec set, and SSS with the name of your secondary spec set.

Swap Talents, Equipment, and Stance

This macro will switch your talent spec and put you into the respective gear and stance.

Here is an alternate version for fury warriors that cannot use the above macro due to Titan's Grip. Left click swaps the talent spec, right click swaps gear and stance.

A one button spec, stance and equipment interchanger, caters for Furry Warriors Titan's Grip

Offhand weapon switching

You might find yourself in a situation where you have two offhand weapons with the same name but different poisons on them and you want to switch between them quickly. Or perhaps you just want to alternate between two offhand weapons with just one hotkey.

• Keep your alternate dagger in the sixteenth slot (lower right corner) of your main (rightmost) backpack.
• The number 17 refers to your offhand weapon slot.
• #showtooltip makes the macro's icon and tooltip display the icon of the equipped weapon, or hold down a modifier key (say Alt) and it will display the icon of the weapon that's ready to be switched in.
• Works in 3.2.2

Suppressing Sound and Error Messages

Sound and Message Error Cleaner

When you spam a spell you get sounds and error messages that can be annoying. Using the macro below you will avoid all that.This example is a macro which you can use to spam Arcane Missiles. It will not cut an already channeling Arcane Missile cast, nor will it make the error sound or spam your screen with error messages.

• Credit: Vermin of Talnivarr.
• Use: Change the third line to the spell you want to spam.
• Works in 3.3 but at least one or two errors will not be cleaned with this macro

No Error Text or Sound (Improved)

For people that macro cd's into normal spells, such as petattacks, trinkets, everlasting potions, etc. it gets annoying being spammed with 'This ability is not ready' and that fun error sound. I've seen a common solution online (similar to the macro above) that fixes this problem with a single issue that's almost as bad as the problem it's fixing.

For people who play without sound to begin with, these macro will -enable your sound- every time you use them. So here is my solution:

The overall effect is the same, but my macro checks to see what you sound currently is set to (enabled or disabled), disables it for the error, and then sets it back where you had it. (ex: if your sound was already off, it will prevent the text error without turning your sound on at the end)

• Credit: Xaeros of Shadowmoon
• Use: Replace 'ExampleTrinket1' and 'ExampleSpell2' with your cd(s) and abilities, then drag to your bar like a normal macro.
• Works in 3.3.3a

No Error Text or Sound (Improved Again)

This is just like the one above but with an added tooltip that matches the original skill, and doesn't disable sound for the skill's error messages. Sound and error messages for the trinket use are still suppressed though. If you set the name of the macro to a blank space, you can't even tell it's a macro. This one is designed more for trinket use than anything else, but it's here for when you only want to silence one of the two skills this macro uses.

If you're running low on characters and you're using this for a trinket, you can replace the use command with 'use 13' (for upper trinket) or 'use 14' (for lower trinket).

• Credit: Vandalite of Feathermoon, and Xaeros of Shadowmoon for the macro this was based on.
• Use: Replace 'ExampleTrinket2' and 'ExampleSpell1' With your cooldowns and abilities, then drag to your bar like a normal macro.
• Works in 3.3.2

Old macros

Macros written before the current patch that have not been re-validated in newer patches can be found on the Old Macros page.

Trinket Slot Macro Classic Wow

Take care of your UI, if you set it up properly it will make your time in the game a lot easier.

Remember, what works for someone else might not work for you, but I highly recommend the following addons.

• Weakauras - The most powerful addon in the game (in the right hands it can do pretty much anything you would ever want)
• Bigwigs / LittleWigs or Deadly Boss Mod - Timers for dungeons and raids
• Details - It has more uses than just damage, explore it and you will find a lot of useful information.

Macros

Combustion Macro

This Combustion macro uses your troll (or Orc racial), your on-use trinket on slot 14 and Combustion at the same time.

Remove Curse Macro

Trinket Slot Macro Wow

Uses Remove Curse at your cursor location.

Alter Time Macro

Removes the Alter Time buff in case you regret using it.

Fire mage doesn't require many WeakAuras. There are only 3 types of must-have WeakAuras that show you:

1. The duration and charges of Infernal Cascade
2. The duration of Firestorm
3. The duration of Combustion

Trinket Slot Macro Wow

You can search for individual WeakAuras above or collections and find ones that work for you from wago.io.
