Hey all.

Iam using Jamba macros to set up the spells for all my chars. But iam having truble. when ever i stand and tank a mob, my dps is mostly not doing anything.

I think what i need is a dps macro, that can do pretty much evrything. But i cant find any. I could try to make one my self.

iam using this right now, but it is not working out so well for me

/castsequence reset=target Faerie Fire, Insect Swarm, Moonfire, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Moonfire, Wrath

i havent started making a macro for my tank, but i guess that would help out a lot also

(iam level 49 at the moment)

what seems to be the problem(s) as 4x2 wrath should kill most at level mobs.
What software you using? IS would open up a lot tricks (round robin starfall/treants)

Basically you'll go with two sets of DPS keys.

The first will be Wrath or Starfire spam on trash.
Because trash will be dead relatively fast.
Possibly go with something like Wrath x3 or x4, followed by Starfire casts.. to catch some of the Eclipse action.
Probably set this up as a castsequence, with reset=combat not =target, that way you can keep the Eclipse benefits from one mob to the next, as a combat continues.

For bosses or anything that will last more then a few casts... look into a click castsequence.
This is simply a priority system, in which the earlier spell is cast if its available.
The priority will be:
a) Insect Swarm (glyph this)
b) Moonfire
c) Wrath or Starfire

You'll probably end up going with strings of Wrath then Starfire, but if you want you can manage the procs on these. I'd just go with 3-4 of one, then 3-4 of the next.

If you want to mange the procs, check out Jamba proc or MSBT.
You'd need some form of toggle for each balance druid, so as to change them individually as procs occur.
Not worth the effort, with more then one druid.

Optionally, spec one of them into Improved Faerie Fire, as the 3% hit is nice to have.

Also there are some nice /click macors here http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=26161 for most classes it would help for your dps and make your eclipse procs at later levels easier to manage I myself have never really played a crit chicken and am unsure of how it would pan out for you. as for you bear, I remember my former bear tank saying he wished he had more buttons to push all he ever did was FF every 8 and bind maul to every key.

Thanks for the help.

Iam not home now, so i cant check if this. so here goes.

/click MultiBarRightButton1 - where is the multibarrightbutton 1? and can i just chose another button. say alt + 1 ?

If you use the default Blizzard frames, then:

MultiBarBottomLeft - is the left horizontal bar, above the default bar.
MultiBarBottomRight - is the right horizontal bar, above your bags.

MultiBarRight and MultiBarLeft - are the extra vertical action bars, left vertical bar and right vertical bar.

Capitalization is important for the Bar and Button numbers, but doesn't matter for the /Click portion.

The master/spammed macro can be Alt 1, or 1 or whatever.
It will call other buttons, so by pressing this master macro, the other macros are being pushed too.
Then you put each of the spells or abilities you want, into macros on these bar/button positions.
And use commas as an artificial delay, until the spell/ability will be re-used.

A tip:

When you get hurricane and other spells which needs channeling, put a [nochanneling] into your wrath/starfire dps macro so you can keep spamming the dps button whlie the other toons are channeling an AOE spell.
I have this in most of my macros.

Also, for healing, I suggest Vuhdo combined with ISboxer and repeater regions. Works like a charm.
Eventually you "will" need a program which can broadcast mouseclicks like mentioned in the second post.

You don't have to use mouseclicks, but will at best be slightly limited without them.
