06.30Two-button Total Pet Control
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...With two buttons (macros) you can have total pet control if you make them context sensitive. The point of this is that a keyboard can become utterly cluttered, and requiring more than 2 buttons for 5-6 functions on your pets results in more buttons than preferred being in an unreachable place. Before the macro I’d bind pet function 1 (attack) and 5 to two buttons, but occasionally the situation comes up where the pet needs to be recalled, or needs to be told to stay in a position in sentry mode. Using the mouse + pet bar for these more advanced techniques wastes valuable time, multiple buttons waste valuable pet space. I therefore wrote a macro to bring it all down to two buttons, based on having a target selected or not.
Macro 1:
/petfollow /petpassive /petattack [harm]
Macro 2:
/petfollow [pet:succubus] /cast [harm] Spell Lock /cast [help] Devour Magic /cast Seduction /cast Sacrifice /cast Intercept /petstay [noexists] /petdefensive [noexists]
This allows you to do the following things:
- Send your pet to attack pressing button 1 while targeting an enemy
- Get your pet to return to you immediately by deselecting any targets and pressing the same button again
- Have your pet use its special attack (Seduce, Sacrifice, Intercept, Spell Lock) when you target an enemy with the second button
- Have your pet (other than the Voidwalker) stay in one place and become aggressive when pressing the second button and no target is selected
- Have them return again to you and become passive again pressing the first button again
- You can now re-seduce without the succubus being blocked by an ongoing seduce
- The Felhunter will attempt to devour Magic on targeted friendlies, and spell lock targeted enemies.
Basically everything you ever need to do with your pet in 2 buttons.
