Is it possible to create a macro that casts Tempest, if its up, otherwise Chain Lightning?
This is automatic for Lightning Bolt, why its not the same for Chain Lightning?
Generally not possible, because you cannot create an if parameter without player input from my experience. I might be wrong but the best you can do is make it clear when you have the tempest proc.
Yes i had the same need while playing Tempest. Here you are:
#showtooltip
/cast [known:Tempest] Tempest; Chain Lightning

Teh question should be why Chain lightning does more damage than Useless Bolt at single target.
Knowing blizzard: they will just nerf chain lightning damage
Tempest should replace Chain Lightning not Lightning Bolt
My LB does 10k more damage than CL, and generates 6 maelstrom instead of only 2.
That doesnt do what i want. I want Tempest to replace Chain Lightning when it procs, just as it does with Lightning bolt.
This worked for me very well right up until recently. Just a moment ago stoped and giving an error. Has anyone a tip why?

Same, idk why. But I know there has been some issue with my Tempest (pet ability) macro when I play ele, it won’t cast it anymore. It mixes up the spells I assume. Not often do spells have the same names like this, maybe that’s part of the issue
Tempest should work like this: Every 300 Maelstrom spent , the next time you cast Lighting Bolt or Chain Lightning, you additionally cast Tempest at your target.
Macro is working for again for me fyi.
#showtooltip
/cast [known:Tempest] Tempest; Chain Lightning
Anyone elses macro sometimes get stuck on Tempest, and you have to relog?
For me it happends sometimes after doing a timewalking dungeon or raid… 
I tried to create a similar macro for Primordial Wave and Voltaic Blaze (Flame Shock AoE Proc)
Couldn’t get it to work.
To be fair: the macro works, its just the tooltip thats wonky.

It worked for me until yesterday, i just use permanent tooltip chain lightning, but now it tries to cast tempest no matter what… it’s frikken annoying because why should we not be allowed to do that @blizzard?
It’s a known bug, if you log out and back in, it is fixed.
It did in fact not fix, as i said it has been an issue for about a day or 2. I don’t care about the tooltip update as i just had it set to chain lightning anyway. If people experience issues with the actual addon not working this seems to bypass it:
#showtooltip Chain Lightning
/cast [known:454009] Tempest
/cast Chain Lightning
bear in mind you need to track your tempest procs in another way as this wont change icon
