Macro Support & Sample Macros

DoTimer provides several functions for macro automation. Here are some examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">-- Cast corruption if not on target, else shadow bolt
/script if DoT_IsPSpell("Corruption") then CastSpellByName("Shadow Bolt") end

-- Cast corruption and immolate if not present, then shadow bolt
/script if DoT_IsPSpell("Corruption") then if not DoT_SpellOnTarget("Immolate") then CastSpellByName("Immolate") end end

-- Cast Curse of Shadow if not on target, else shadow bolt
/script if not DoT_IsSpell("Curse of Shadow") then CastSpellByName("Shadow Bolt") end

-- Cast Curse of Shadow or Curse of Agony
/script if not DoT_DetermineSpell("Curse of Shadow", "Curse of Agony") then CastSpellByName("Shadow Bolt") end

-- Cast Conflagrate after Immolate has been active for 13 seconds
/script if DoT_ReturnElapsed("Immolate") >= 13 then CastSpellByName("Conflagrate") end

-- Banish if less than 2 seconds remaining
/script if DoT_ReturnRemaining("Banish") <= 2 then CastSpellByName("Banish") end

-- Rejuvenate or Swiftmend depending on castability
/script local r,s,c="Rejuvenation",DoT_SpellOnTarget,CastSpellByName; if (s(r) or s("Regrowth")) then c("Swiftmend") else c(r) end</syntaxhighlight>

Class & Spell Support

DoTimer supports all classes, with some support for priests, druids, and hunters. It tracks common DoTs, curses, and buffs.

How to Customize Spells

Edit spells.lua and spellsdata.lua to add or modify spells:

Use the format:<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ["texture_path"] = { name = "Spell Name", duration = seconds, multiplier = 1 } </syntaxhighlight>
