I'd like to add a little something.
I'm not sure if any of you have had the problem, but these macros refuse to summon a demon when it is dead (unless you dismiss it, which can be a hassle in things like arena). Because a dead demon still counts as having a demon out as far as macros are concerned. An easy way to fix that is to use the following:

/cast [target=pet,dead] demonName
/cast [nopet] Summon demonName

This'll summon your demon when it is either not out, or dead.

Appreciate it. I was looking around everywhere to find scripts to make these OSX like stacks. I feel with your macros, it would be a better version of the original summon demon idea.

4.0 Re: Pet Macro Guide

I'd like to share my new macro with you all :D
Really I have nothing new to add to what else is posted other than a way to work around the 255 character limit by making it reference a second macro.

First part pet macro 1:
/use [pet:succubus, nomod, @mouseover, exists][@target] Seduction
/focus [mod:shift]mouseover
/use [pet:succubus, mod:alt, @focus]Seduction
/use [pet:felguard, nomod] Axe Toss
/use [pet:felguard, mod:alt] Felstorm
/click MultiBarRightButton10

The important part is the last line. That tells it to find a second macro on right action bar one and 10 buttons down.

Second part pet macro 2:
/use [pet:voidwalker, combat, nomod] Sacrifice; [nocombat, nomod] Consume Shadows
/use [pet:felhunter, mod:alt, @focus, exists] Spell Lock; Spell lock
/use [pet:imp, mod:alt, @mouseover, exists][mod:alt, @player] Singe Magic; Firebolt

For this to work the above macro would need to be placed in right action bar 1 and 10th button down. You can change it to suit yourself.

MultiBarRightButton# is right action bar one
MultiBarLeftButton# is right action bar two
MultiBarBottomLeftButton# bottom left action bar
MultiBarBottomRightButton# bottom right action bar

Soo let's say you set pet macro 1 to D. Press D and it'll go through the part 1 macro, find the line at the end that tells it to go through the second macro. So it works around the 255 character limit.

This macro will do the following:

-when you hold shift it will focus your mouseover
-when you hold shift it will clear your focus if you have no mouseover

Succubus
-seduces target
-will seduce mouseover, takes priority over target
-when holding alt it will seduce your focus

Felgaurd
-uses Axe toss
-uses felstorm when holding alt

Voidwalker
-When in combat will use Sacrifice
-When out of combat will use Consume Shadows

Felhunter
-When holding alt will spell lock your focus
-When not holding alt will spell lock your target

Imp
-will cast firebolt once
-hold alt will singe magic yourself
-hold alt on mouseover will singe magic on mouseover, takes priority over targeting yourself

This macro is tailored to my preference but the work around on the 255 character limit is pretty clever and I wanted to share that. Hopefully it'll make it easier for others to make their own pet macro and not be restricted by the character limit. Props to my friend Precipice for figuring that out.

Hi
I'm having problem with this macro that i made

#showtooltip [pet:felhunter] Spell Lock
/focus [target=focus, noexists]; [target=focus,dead]
/cast [mod:Shift, pet:felhunter, target=focus, Devour Magic:] [nomod, pet:felhunter, target=Focus, harm] Spell Lock;

my pet casts Spell lock as he sould but when i hold down Shift he still casts Spell lock and not Devour Macig as i whant him to do.

There are a few typos in your macro, some misplaced formatting, as well as some syntax which is outdated. Try:

Code:
#showtooltip Spell Lock
/focus [noexists][dead]
/cast [mod:shift,pet:Felhunter,@focus] Devour Magic; [pet:Felhunter,@focus,harm] Spell Lock

4.0 Re: Pet Macro Guide

Question. I am trying to make a macro that will keep my pet from attacking a target I tab to, unless I finish casting my immolate on it. Basically to keep pet from aggroing a target when I tab and cast too quickly and then have move to stop my cast. Here's what I am using (got from a thread on MMO Champion).

#showtooltip Immolate
/cast Immolate
/cast [@pettarget,exists,nodead,combat] Firebolt
/petfollow [nocombat]



Thenacro doesn't seem to work at all and frankly it may not really be what I need. I'd welcome any suggestions.

Thanks!

The default AI for pets waits until you are in combat before engaging in defensive mode. You might benefit more from binding /petpassive on mousewheel down and /petdefensive on mousewheel up. I have the exact macros I use at the beginning of this guide (I moved camera zoom to shift + mousewheel).
