How to skip a totem in a castsequence if it's on CD?

[Clovis]

Currently for my totem dropping, I use a /castsequence macro

Char 1 /castsequence tremor totem, cleansing totem, grounding totem, searing totem

Char 2 /castsequence cleansing totem, tremor totem, grounding totem, searing totem

Char 3 /castsequence grounding totem, searing totem, cleansing totem

Char 4 /castsequence searing totem, grounding totem, tremor totem, cleansing totem



Ect -- the problem however is that if a totem is on cool down, such as a grounding totem the macro stops -- so if the grounding totem is the first or second totem -- the totems that follow will not be dropped until the cool down on grounding totem is back up.

Is there a way or modifier to fix this?



Thanks!

There isn't really a way around this as far as I know.

I actually never use CD spells in /castsequence unless i'm pretty sure the spell is always ready when it should be called.
Instead of that i use separe line with CD spells.

Example:

/cast Grounding Totem
/castsequence cleansing totem,tremor totem,searing totem

I tend to put
/castrandom Grounding Totem
in with my dps macro

Heres an example for char1 that should work

char1 macro
/castsequence tremor totem, cleansing totem, , searing totem
/castsequence , , grounding totem,

this isnt a macro to spam you have to time it with your GCD basicaly when you get to the 3rd cast as there is no cast and so no GCD the macro will cast the spell from the 2nd cast sequence

You could do this with MacroSequence:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7911-MacroSequence.html

In your Sequences.lua file you would have something like this:

Totem1 = {
reset = { seconds = 60, combat = true },
"/cast TremorTotem",
"/cast Cleansing Totem",
"/cast Grounding Totem",
"/cast Searing Totem",
},

Totem2 = {
reset = { seconds = 60, combat = true },
"/cast Cleansing Totem",
"/cast Tremor Totem",
"/cast Grounding Totem",
"/cast Searing Totem",
},

...

Each shaman would /click the appropriate sequence in a macro:

Shaman 1:

/click Totem1

Shaman 2:

/click Totem2

etc.

Ya, you would have to use /cast or /castrandom as suggested. You should be able to string some macros together with /click if you wanted to use /castsequence, but I don't know if this would be better than the other suggestions.

no longer helping here

Could you potentially use the /click button command instead and if its on CD it should still go to the next button regardless since its not technically a /cs command or is it? I would assume that its the same thing as /cs but not as restrictive it almost would seem like a /cr instead but still in the order you want. Have not played much with /click so not sure just throwing something out there so that some one can try it out and report back to us.

I like to have the combination of two types of totem macro's.

I have the default (initial) totem stomp macro.
There are two of these, one is pvp focused the other is pve focused.
This is done at the start of a combat, when everything is available.

I also have individual totems, which when clicked each shammy does immediately.
I used to stagger my Tremor Totems, but making a cast sequence and spamming it 4 times over 2 seconds.
Regardless, I can have shammies drop staggered: Tremor Totems, Earthbind Totems or Fire Nova Totems. Same idea as the staggered Thunderstorms.
I can have all shammies drop Grounding Totems, Magma Totems, Searing Totems, Healing Stream Totems + One Mana Spring.

Basically decide which totems you'd like on demand.
And which totems can just be stomped as part of your Totem Farm macro.
For those on demand, decide which are dumped all at once (4x Grounding etc) and which you'd prefer to castsequence to take advantage of effects like the Fire Nova stun.

Some people like to stagger cleansing totems for pvp too.

Well yeah, I was just thinking about that Aelli said he would do that for arena.

But yes, I found it extremely painful that you cant move people around in the bg raids anymore, or seems like it anyway, thought it was lag, but seems the leader cant move people?
