Macro works 80% of the time?

So i was trying to make a macro switching from one weapon, then use a skill then switch back to the original weapon. But it dont allways work.

/Equip weapon B
/useskill Hammer Crush
/delay 1
/Equip Weapon A
/attack

Sometimes it works. but also alot of times it sticks with the weapon B and says i cant change weapons during a skill.
Thats good enough but why does it work sometimes and not others? i dont get it. And using /delay 2 is no good becuase then i stand still for to long ...
And i am not clicking or doing anything to disturb the macro.

If someone has a functional Macro doing this plz tell me ^^

thats cuz ur delay is too short that ur line that says to put back ur other weapon is accessed when ur still doing the skill


quick fix = playing with the delay to have it a bit longer

Hammer crush is a slow skill, the delay will have to be longer.

Use /delay 2. I have this macro going for 1v1 pvp where I use either a bow or 2-h sword to my pole for stun. I tried /delay 1, but found that the macro sometimes fails. Enjoy!

But how can it work sometimes and some dont? is the time it takes to use a skill random? i thought things like this was set in stone and if something ´work once then it should work allways.

If you press any other macro while the first is going, it halts the first, requiring you to press a macro/skill to 'free' the macro before you can use a macro again. Also, if the macro tries to do something and it fails (such as /target or use a skill that's recharging) it fails like if you pressed a macro button. Also, if you do pretty much anything while the macro is running (like clicking the mouse or ... basically anything) it halts the macro.

Also, try putting your weapon on a bar somewhere, and using /useshortcut (bar) (number), that may help.

Im not doing anything while the macro opperates.
And i am using the.
"drag icon and drop in macro window techniq."

It's the Hammer Crush skill, you need delay 2 for it to work properly ;)

I suggest that you ditch the macro and place the blunt, the skill and the original weapon on an alternate hotbar which you use when you stun, much faster and no worries about a macro going bad.

If only i could keep my cool.. Im the kind of person that in PvP i throw the shortcuts away, starts to run in strange directions, and do all funny stuff.

If i do what you suggest; you see a Gladiator trying to stun his enemy with his fists and then run away screaming. :p

But is the macro system bugged? i mean if it works once it should work allways. that is kind of the point for a macro :confused:

Perhaps it matters whether you trigger it ON tick or in the middle of a tick, thus why it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't?

Just guessing.

To answer your original question, yes the Macro system, when switching weapons, is bugged.

Do a quick Search on these boards and you will see a few threads concerning this.

I got around it by using a different macro for each weapon.

I was using a blunt to stun (back when I was fighting mobs it would work on) and duals to overall fight.

Macro one = Equip Duals

Macro two = Equip Shield ... Equip blunt ... Stun

When Stun was reset I would click Macro two.

Then click Macro one.

Much better then realizing I have been punching the mob with my hands for the past minute.
