Hello, I have a question regarding the use of razer synapse macros. Is it allowed to make macros that presses 2 buttons at the same time?
My current understanding of blizzard’s rules is basically 1 Click = 1 Action. My specific case here is that i want to make a macro that will press 1 and 2 at the same time, i bind 1 to mind blast and 2 to smite so when mind blast is off cooldown it will always press 1 which is mind blast and when it is on cooldown it will also press 1 but it will do nothing (because it is on cooldown) so it will end up pressing 2 which is smite.
I hope I’m not confusing anyone here and any answer would be appreciated <3
I don’t think this would be allowed, but I also don’t think you would be punished for it, so it’s an “illegal but there is no punishment” type of situation.
Somewhat similarly, I totally didn’t ever use an auto-clicker to right-click hundreds of Thin Jellies from my inventory to speed up getting the bee mount and I totally just sat there for an hour right-clicking until my finger fell off.
it’s not allowed because the in game macro system specifically disallows what you’re trying to do.
Let me rephrase it: it’s not by accident that you can’t write such a macro in WoW.
The closest I can think of is a castsequence macro with a reset= cooldown on mind blast.
Depends - you can macro certain CDs together and both activates at the same time, but rotational abilities? Yes, one click per ability.
If they’re CD’s? Yes.
You can make a sequence macro.
EDIT
For example
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset Mind Blast, Smite, Smite
After the second smite, the macro will be back to Mind Blast - it’ll still be -1- ability on your action bar, but the ability will change, and thus will require one click for each one.
That was my thinking process too, but then I asked around discord and group of friends and i had plenty of people tell me they have been using macros similar to the one i discussed in this post for over 5 years and still got no bans or even warnings, so i assume blizzard dont want to allow it but they cant detect as good as they want to.
I’m using a cast sequence thanks for the reply, but you cant do that when the spell have multiple charges (mind blast for example). You will have to always cast 2 mind blasts if youre going the castsequence route
To be fair I don’t know how pressing 2 buttons at the same time would work in practice in terms of which spell gets cast first, I know how Synapse macros work but I don’t know whether the sequence of keys would affect that, you’d have to test it to find out. You may end up casting both Mind Blasts with the Synapse method as well.
all you have to do is add a delay of 0.015 between the first spell and the second and that will cause it to always cast the first spell if it was off cooldown
No, if you are going to make a castsequence macro you will have to specify the number of spells in the macro to cycle through.
let me give you an example of a castsequence macro and a razer synapse macro:-
Castsequence macro: cast mindblast > mindblast > smite, if you have 1 mindblast charge the macro will be stuck until mindblast comes off cooldown to continue cycling or ofcourse you add a reset=time. you will always have to specify the number of mind blasts in the macro.
Razer synapse macro: it will cast mindblast and if mindblast is off cooldown the cast is successful and the cast go through, it will continue you cast mindblasts until its on cooldown which then it will revert to casting smite always because the macro clicks mindblast and then waits 0.015 seconds and then clicks smite. This basically creates a conditional, ( If(mindblast is off cooldown) {cast mindblast} else{cast smite} )kinda thing
currently I’m just using a castsequence macro that casts mindblast 1 time and then spams smite with a reset timer of 2 seconds, its good but was just wondering if macros are allowed or not. Thank you all for the replies <3
