Macro for Shadow Step

I was wondering how do you make an marcro for Shadow Step on my Warshade. I do understand there's an answer on the forums somewhere but I could not find it.

It would help me teleport faster.

I've found that binds are easier for fast chaining of teleports than are macros, so a bind like this one:

/bind SHIFT+LBUTTON "powexecname Shadow Step"

should work very well indeed. However, since you asked for a macro, I'll provide that as well:

/macro TP "powexecname Shadow Step"

Why do I think the bind is better? Because if you bind with the left mouse button (LBUTTON) then you just hold down shift, click, and BAMF! you teleport where you clicked. If you bind to any other key or if you use a macro, then you have the extra step of placing the white teleport reticle where you want to go and clicking.

To sum up: If you use the macro (or bind any other key but LBUTTON), you still have to click the mouse anyway as a second step. So if the goal is to teleport faster...

That's why I use a mouse with thumb buttons on the left side. Front thumb button is to teleport, back thumb button is to recall.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I use binds myself, but use the 't' key rather than the lbutton (I use the lbutton for location targeted attacks and controls such as Lightning Rod or Quicksand and so use 't' as a standard for TP to avoid having to switch my thinking on my WS).

One thing to add to the binds given above is that to have the same key or button work for both Shadow Step and Black Dwarf Step you need to have your shape shift bind rewrite the teleport bind.

I use the 'i', 'o' and 'p' keys for the human, nova and dwarf shape shift binds respectively (again that's to avoid using numpad keys I normaly use for teammate select and buff/heal powers).

My binds for shape shifting are:

bind i "gototray 1$$bind t powexecname Shadow Step$$powexectoggleoff Black Dwarf$$powexectoggleoff Dark Nova"

bind o "gototray 9$$powexectoggleon Dark Nova"

bind p "gototray 8$$powexectoggleon Black Dwarf$$bind t powexecname Black Dwarf Step"


I use button4 on my mouse for Stygian Circle and button5 for Extract Essence, but if you like mouse binds instead simply substitute shift+lbutton for t in the above binds for teleporting and, say, button4 for i, shift+button4 for o and ctrl+button4 for p.
