Altered Time - your #1 World of Warcraft Mage resource!

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to make a macro that works like this: when I press de "q" button, it casts Ice Block. When I press SHIFT + q, it cancels it (canceaura).

I'm asking this because many times I spam hit "q" and what happens is I get the Ice Block and then it cancels before the attack expires, and then I die.

Thanks!

That is what I have today, but is not what I asked.

i know this is old, but since it was never answered.... this should work:
#showtooltip Ice Block
/stopcasting
/cancelaura [modifier:shift] Ice Block
/cast [nomodifier:shift] Ice Block

Was looking for something like this . thanks for posting your find.

#showtooltip Ice Block

/cancelaura [modifier:shift] Ice Block
/cast [nomodifier:shift] Ice Block

Unfortunately, this still doesn't work. If you cast Ice Block normally while it is up, it cancels it. As the OP stated, this results in death.

Well, i tried the same as you, but instead of canceling the cube with a MOD, i tried:

/showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Random Skill
/cancelaura [mod:shift] Ice Block
/cast [mod:shift] Ice Block

Then i realized u dont need the cancelaura anymore, the cube cancels itself when u press it again, so i think we cant do more macros about canceling the block with another key/mod

(sry for my english XD)

I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but a technique that people sometimes use is to add "/cancelaura Ice Block" into macros for other abilities. This way you can safely mash your ice block bind and then you can cancel it the moment you press one of your skills to do something.

#showtooltip Ice Block

/cancelaura [modifier:shift] Ice Block
/cast [nomodifier:shift] Ice Block

Thank you, it helps!

This is the macro I am currently using, works like charm:

---

#Showtooltip
/castsequence reset=240 ice block, cold snap, ice block

---

If you are used to cancel the aura by holding "shift", you can add an extra line:

#Showtooltip
/cancelaura [mod:shift] Ice block
/castsequence [nomod] reset=240 ice block, cold snap, ice block

i am using:

#showtooltip Ice block
/stopcasting
/cast Ice block
/cancelaura [button:2] Ice block

right mouse click breaks it again.
