Macro Trinket Slot 2
I was wondering if there is a way to first check if my trinkets are off cooldown and THEN use /use them.
Here is what the problem is.
My macros look BASICALLY something like this.
Problem with this method is when my trinkets are on Cooldown I get bombarded withItem is Not Ready YetandSpell Is Not Ready Yeterror messages, which significantly reduce my casting speed, which is a BIG problem in PVP. You know every failed spell or trinket use trigger a GCD of like 0.5 or more.
I need some way to check if the trinkets are ready before executing the /use command and if they are still on Cooldown, the macro should skip the /use 13, 14 part and proceed directly with the spell-cast.
Here is how I imagine it, USING PSEUDO-CODE to just represent my idea.
Anyone got any idea how to resolve this ? I used the Search function but didn't find anything relevant to my problem.

- But you are right that trinkets are slot 13 (top trinket) and 14 (bottom) and the macro would be /use 14. If you are not going to macro the trinket with another ability such as Icy Veins (for example) just drag the trinket to your action bar and don't worry about taking up a macro slot.edit - most on use trinkets trigger a 30 sec cool down.
To make a macro trinket, you will want to utilize the “/use” macro command. Your trinkets are in slot 13 and 14, so to use one the command is: /use 13. Since trinkets are on the global cooldown, you can combine them with any spell you want afterwards. You can even combine them with multiple spells that also aren’t on the GCD.
Shadowstrike Macro:
Uses [Backstab] or [Shadowstrike] depending on your stance.
Shadowdance Macro:
[stance:0] prevents you from accidentallyactivating [Shadow Dance] twice.
/cast Shadowstrike prevents you from accidentally using [Backstab] after activating [Shadow Dance].
You can add this 2 conditions if you want to, [Specter of Betrayal] or any other on use trinket is usually lined up with [Shadow Dance]. [Symbols of Death] gets usually used pre [Shadow Dance]. This means this condition will never trigger but would allow you to use [Symbols of Death] together with [Shadow Dance] during the animation.
it's still recommended to use 2 macros in case you don't want [Symbols of Death] to line up or if you don't want to use [Shadowstrike].

Marked for Death / Death from Above Macro:
Uses [Marked for Death] or [Death from Above] depending on what Talent is used.
Same but with mouseover for [Marked for Death].
Vanish Macros:
My personal version of the macro, prevents you from accidentally using [Vanish] when out of combat.

Nightblade Mouseover Macro:
Use [Nightblade] on mouseover, uses nightblade on the target if no mouseover exist.
remove @target if you don't want the macro to only work on mouseover.
Shadowstep Mouseover Macro:
It's often quite nice to have the option to [Shadowstep] a target via mouseover during a fight.
