Heart of the Phoenix

Can someone help me with a makro for Heart of the Phoenix?

Its useless in the pet bar, because pet bar vanishes when the pet dies.

So I made a Makro /cast Heart of the Phoenix (drawn in from the spell book).
Since Cata it doesn't work anymore. Why? And what can be done about it?

The pet bar doesnt always vanish right away. You just gotta be fast enough to click it. :) Truthfully, according to Warcraft Hunters Union, the best dps spec doesnt even have HotP but I like having it when leveling. Dont care for it after 85 though.

I take it on my BM spec'd pets, but don't have room for it on Surv/MM spec'd pets. BM's the one shafted most by a pet death mid-battle, so it works out--I learned the value of a combat rez real fast when working on Lich King. XD Just didn't have TIME to stand there for ten seconds essentially doing nothing.

Have you actually tried using the macro, as in trying to rez your pet with it? There's a bug with the interface that causes macros that display an ability from the pet's spellbook as the tooltip to be greyed out as if they were unavailable. But, that only affects the #showtooltip part of the macro, not the /cast or /use (those commands are interchangeable) parts of the macro; if you use the macro, it will work despite being greyed out.

This is the all-purpose macro that I use for pet healing and reviving.

Code: Select all

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift]Heart of the Phoenix; [@pet,dead][@pet,noexists]Revive Pet; Mend Pet
You can just copy that and paste directly into the WoW macro creator.

The macro should act like this:
1) Cast Heart of the Phoenix if you press it while holding the shift key.
2) If you're not holding shift, check whether your pet is either dead or despawned. If so, cast Revive Pet.
3) Finally, if none of the above conditions are met, cast Mend Pet.

Personally I use the shift key as my all-purpose modifier key, but that can be changed easily if you prefer some other modifier (such as holding the ctrl key instead, or clicking with a certain mouse button, or etc.) If you're not comfortable with changing/editing the macro by yourself, I'd be happy to help.
