The macro for some reason is not canceling my Divine Sacrifice. I have ace 2 as well..

Not really sure why it won’t cancel thought.

You can just use:

/cast Divine Sacrifice
/cancelaura Divine Sacrifice

And hit the button twice, and that’ll have the same effect. The /in script just gives the convenience of one button press.

Thanks for reading! :)

So for those of us who do not have the /in Ace thingy…

Could we just use:

/cast Divine Sacrifice
/script CancelUnitBuff(”player”,”Divine Sacrifice”)

And then hit the macro button twice? Or is there a better way to cancel divine sacrifice if I do not have the ace thingy. By the way, does the Ace thingy do anything else that would really be worth it for a tank with a machine that is fps challenged?

Thanks for your great Blog Rhidach!

Nice Rogatien, I probably was just assuming it didn’t work since it is something like automation and I try to stay away from such. I tend to play on the very safe side for things like this only because Blizzard’s banning policy makes me paranoid lol :)

This might be an instance where I do use it though.

You can use it during combat, since it’s just a timer and has no control flow logic (as defined by the WoW API). I’ve used /in macros for correctly timing Less-Rabi and Eregos’ abilities for a long time.

I’ll append the post tonight once I gauge if the macro works or not. But please don’t give me credit, I didn’t write it, I just copy-pasted, haha.

I thought the /in command was unusable during combat… I’ll have to test it out, nice job though :)

I believe /in is provided by ace addons.

Ah good call, you're right. I looked into this and you need any macro that uses /in to use it yourself. The Ace2 framework would do just fine. I suspect many of us already have addons with /in already, so we might not need to add anything. Great catch though, I always assumed that was a standard WoW macro command.

I had thought that “/in” is NOT a default wow command, that it was a utility command supplied by one of your addons.

Are you sure that macro will work even on the standard UI with no addon supplying the “/in” command?
