Not A Bug Hotkey with /pause blocks other hotkeys

    Hi,

    Took me a while before I figured out what was going on, so may have been like this for a week or longer.

    When you press a hotkey with a /pause in it, it blocks other hotkeys for that period.

    For example:
    • Hotkey 1: /pause 100
    • Hotkey 2: /pet attack
    • Pressing hotkey 1 will block hotkey 2 for 10s

    Unfortunately, this has always been the case, and is why macro hotkeys tend to be subpar for most situations.

    This is intentional to prevent you from being able to perform multiple actions at the same time. (IE set a short delay then cast a long casting ability with hotkey one, in that short delay hit hot key 2 that turns on auto attack or casts another spell.. they need to block so you cannot do things like that)

    So keep your macros concise and focused.

    /stopsocial will allow you to abort it and start a new hotkey if you want.

    I hold + dragged the pet attack from the Pet Info window instead of the /pet attack macro I was using before, that seems to work.

    I guess a hold + dragged pet attack is something different than the 1 line /pet attack macro.
