Macro help

Dave \Crash\ Dummy

Hi all

I could use a bit of help with making a macro, please.

I'm trying to kill Thyranir, and he's one difficult dragon. I need to dispel
him, and that's a job for my felhunter. So the macro I need will be to
target the boss, cast devour magic and go back to doing nothing/killing an
add.

I know I need to use /target to make him target the boss. I also know I need
to crite /cast [spellname] if I'm the one casting a spell. What I'm unsure
of is, how to make the pet cast, and whether or not I need to have another
line telling him not to attack the boss. I keep him on passive, so I guess
not.

Anyone care to help me out?

TIA

D

I believe pet spells work the same as your own spells in a macro, i.e.
it would just be:

/cast Devour Magic

to have the pet cast devour magic on your target.

If you want to have the pet mainly attacking another target, you could
make the boss your focus target and then modify the macro like this:

/cast [@focus] Devour Magic

I believe this will make the pet cast devour magic on the boss and then go
back to attacking his usual target, although I'm not certain.

Thanks. Last night I played around with it figured I might be able to just
drag it from the spell book. It put the same line in the macro that you
said, so I guess that's the way to do it. I haven't tried the focus bit yet,
but that was my intention as well.

However, I tried using the macro with only one mob up. I had the mob
targetted, mob cast his buff, I pressed my macro and nothing seemed to
happen :/ Wondering if this is bugged or not. I know it can be dispelled,
as I get a warning when he casts telling me to do so.

Anyone else done this fight?
