Can you guys give me a small overview of macros please?

Like I am a priest, how would I get it to cast Mind blast, Shadow word Pain for example?

So they excute one after another? anyone have good tutorials or something they could link to? I dont want complex stuff, just some basics :)

Thanks
 
Here are a few I use:

Priest - Shackling Focus

Set yourself a Focus target with /Focus and now anytime you need to reshackle you just press this macro. Don't even need to change target as u can have a different one and still shackle it. One of my favourite macros.

#showtooltip Shackle Undead
/cast [target=focus,harm] Shackle Undead; [harm] Shackle Undead
/stopmacro [target=focus,noharm]

You might be able to modify the code of this macro to suit your needs as this one applies the dots on one button, though you do have to press the button each time.

Warlock – Place all dots with 1 button

/castsequence reset=Target/Combat Corruption, Siphon Life, Curse of Agony, Unstable Affliction

Mount/Dismount and also use Flying/Land depending on zone.
So if you are in Orgrimmar and pres syour Mount button it will get on the land mount. If you are in Outlands it will get on your Flying mount. Obviously change the mount names to correspond with your own.

#showtooltip Black War Kodo
/use [outdoors,nomounted,nomodifier:ctrl,flyable] Swift Red Windrider; [outdoors,nomounted] Black War Kodo
/dismount [mounted]

Mind Flay - This macro allows you to spam the button for Mind FLay without it recasting mid cast. Saves your mana.

#showtooltip Mind Flay
/cast [nochanneling:Mind Flay] Mind Flay
 
I tried the /castsequence reset=Target/Combat Corruption, Siphon Life, Curse of Agony, Unstable Affliction

With /castsequence reset=Target/Combat Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain and ONLY the first move casts?

What am I doing wrong?

Do I literally type what I typed in above? I dont get why only the first move is casting?

christ want the game to wipe your bum for you as well?

Just spam the macro and it casts them one after the other, is no function to press one button and cast 5 spells in a row, what would be the point in even playing then :P

What's the point in even playing the game if you want everything on autocast?

I use the shackle macro, because if a shackle is in the middle of 10 people in kara, it can be a pain to click, and even that feels like cheating to me.
 
well said, people have to decide at what point it's cheating, that's why there are people to make rules in a competative game. you were an admin on theladder if i remember right?

Because, I just just hammer 4 and then 5 on my keyboard. and that takes 2 icons. Whats the difference between having one button that does one, and then I press it again to do the next, or to press one button, then the other?

:/

*EDIT*

BTW, 4 is my Mind Blast, 5 is Shadow Word: Pain
