Oops, got my conditionals garbled. Try this instead:

#showtooltip
/clearfocus [target=focus, dead, nomodifier] [modifier:alt]
/focus target
/stopmacro [modifier: alt]
/cast [target=focus] Leap
/cast Death Grip
/petfollow

The macro above from Gwaendar:

#showtooltip
/clearfocus [focus=dead, nomodifier, modifier: alt]
/focus [modifier: alt, harm] target
/stopmacro [modifier: alt]
/cast [target=focus] Leap
/cast Death Grip
/petfollow

When i use it in-game is says:
“Unknown macro option: focus=dead”
So did you mean something else then? Please clarify. Thanks

I think a few macros for multi-mob pulling and farming might be handy,

True.

How about this?
#showtooltip
/clearfocus [focus=dead, nomodifier, modifier: alt]
/focus [modifier: alt, harm] target
/stopmacro [modifier: alt]
/cast [target=focus] Leap
/cast Death Grip
/petfollow

Hit once while holding alt to set your focus which will be leap-pulled, then go body pull while targeting something else. Hit the macro without alt and you’ll DG your target while the Ghoul leaps at the other. The /petfollow should normally ensure the Ghoul comes back even despite it having aggro

I think a few macros for multi-mob pulling and farming might be handy, and I’m working on them now. Having a pet that can leap pull will be handy for areas that are high population. I’m thinking of the DK doing a body pull or iT on one mob, Death Grip to get a 2nd, then Pet leap to get a 3rd and bring it back. Then stack the Unholy diseases and aoe.

I’ve just turned the Ghoul Leap ability off. That way it only leaps when I trigger it.

I can pull using Icy Touch or Deathcoil at Range on single mobs, and the Ghoul still runs in to attack. It does not waste energy on leaping, and I want the aggro anyway so the mob is within melee range. Likewise pulling using Deathgrip, its far easier to not use the leap.

To disable the leap just right click on the ability on your pet’s action bar. Same reason you turn off some powers for Warlock pets, so the player chooses when to use them, not the pet’s AI.
