I read every macro there, and tried to wrap my head around what each of them do for me, and to my pets. They pretty much summed up everything that each pet needed. The Voidwalker has Consume Shadows and Sacrifice, the Succubus is good for her Seduction, and the... Click here to read the entire guide Last edited by Cormanthor; October 23, 2009 at 02:06 AM..

You can use Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste into your open macro window. As for automatically switching while in combat.. that is not exactly available. One could probably put a macro on Shadow Bolt (or any other spell) like:

Code:

/cast [harm] Shadow Bolt
/petpassive [combat]
/petdefensive [nocombat]

This would put your pet on passive every time this spell is cast while in combat, and if you hit it again after combat (with no target, mind you), it should restore your pet to defensive. I'm not exactly clear why you would want that, but there you go.

If you were interested in saving a little space in your macro, you can take out the 'exists' conditional. 'Harm' duplicates the effect of 'exists'. __________________ Some days it just not worth chewing through the restraints

Sweet, I didn't know that. Thanks! =D
I've been meaning to get into the more heavy-duty macros using '/run', but I don't really have the patience right now. ;-p
Hopefully I can bring some more goodies to The Den in teh future, this website is awesome! =)

These macros also share the Fel Domination use as the above Voidwalker macro. Left clicking in combat (or right clicking any time) will summon the Felhunter in 0.5 seconds if Fel Domination is up. __________________ Some days it just not worth chewing through the restraints
