Mercurio's Macros

[Mercurio]

I've had a couple of requests for these so thought I'd post them here. I'm certain they aren't optimum, but they work well enough for me to have accomplished most everything I've tried. A couple of notes: I use Super Duper Macro which allows for really long macros (way beyond the 256 character limit). It is great and I recommend it. When creating a macro, I start with about 3 commas per second and adjust from there.

I don't use FTL, but use /assist focus in my DPS macros. I also like to have a basic targeting line in my macros so my guys shoot what the raid or party leader has targeted even if I haven't given them a focus. This may cause quick target switching, so I take out some of the reset=target code that would be used for optimum DPS (like on warlock immolate or ele shammy flame shock). I may lose a % or two on DPS, but my guys don't get stuck in endless loops of just putting up dots and nothing else like they would if reset=target was in those macros.

I also have a lot of commented-out lines that aren't a bad idea to use, but I've taken them out for now.

Anyway, I hope these are some use to this great community.

Feel free to look up any of my toons in my signature for their exact talent builds.

[Littleburst]

Impressive!

[thefunk]

Thanks Mercurio i'm going to try some of them out Vs my own.

[Siaea]

I've never tried stacking /castsequences like that, how do you figure out the number of commas to use?

[Coltimar]

This is a good place to see how fast you spam and how many commas you'll need http://multibox.me/.

Thanks Merc!

[Maxion]

Very nice, thank you!
But shouldn't you have a [nochanneling] in your shadow priest's main dps castsequence?
Or oh, I guess since you don't use devouring plague you might not need that. Why don't you use it?
And for your moonkin, you should use the following line instead of the one you have commented out :) :
/cast [noform] Moonkin Form

[Vecter]

Thread is now sticky for awhile. Some very useful macro information from someone that 10 boxes ICC with great success.

[Mercurio]

Impressive!

Thanks, not really posted to be impressive, (maybe I should have chosen a less "me-centric" title to this thread) but I hope it helps!

I put about three commas per second of cooldown on an ability as a start, as that's about how fast I hit my DPS key. I then modify this by seeing how they actually perform on the target dummies. I put all the abilities that are used in the macro on my bar so I can see when they are refreshing, if my macro ever gets stuck waiting on an ability to come off cooldown, etc.

The Shadow Priest (and all my macros) contain a "/stopmacro [channeling]" at the beginning just in case I'm using a channeled spell. This won't let me interrupt any channeled spell like Mind Flay in my macro or even like Hymn of Hope, Evocation, etc. that I press outside the macro.
I'll have to investigate Devouring Plague to see if it increases Shadow DPS.
And thanks for the Moonkin Form tip, that's exactly what I was looking for - I'll update the Boomkin macro accordingly! :)

Not at all. You've achieved some pretty amazing stuff imo and it's helpfull for others that they can see your macro's now, so i'm sure it will help.

I'm pretty sure devouring plague will increase your dps if you can add it in the rotation.
Just checked the log of a random Spriest doing 27k dps @ 10man crimson hall. Devouring plague ticked for an average of 4,1k and SW:pain for 4,3k.

[Feider]

I'm sorry if this obvious but what does the # do before the cast sequence?

# /castsequence boom boom

[shadewalker]

# just comments out that line of the macro, this way the line is ignored when the macro runs in game.

[Feider]

I see. Throw it in or take it out to adjust a macro quickly based on situation? Thanks for the explanation.

[Mercurio]

Yep, it is nice to have in there in case a certain fight would go better with it - very easy to simply delete or add a "#" as needed.

[Maxion]

Indeed, though I've personally been using // instead of / at the start of a line for commenting out lines in my own macros, # works just as well and may be more easy to see.

[Mercurio]

Thanks for the help with the Shadow Priest macro. I just did 3D Sarth for the second time this week and was absolutely shocked to see my holy priest (in his shadow off-spec) was top DPS. I think it was mostly RNG, but the fact that he's in the league to occasionally be top DPS is just incredible to me.

Fun fun.

[crowdx]

So quick question Mercurio, are you using Macraroon or some ingame add on or ISBoxer? I tried this using ISBoxer for my Shadow Priest and it works fine, just wondering how you are doing it?
Thanks in advance

[Mercurio]

Super Duper Macro for the length of the macros. I used it with Keyclone for a while, but switched to ISBoxer. Works fine with either.

[Maxion]

I use Macaroon to get extended macro lengths while using Keyclone. I like the customizability of its action bars.

Is macaroon still being updated? Last time i used it it was heavily out of date but still worked

[Maxion]

Still being updated as far as I can tell yeah.

[mikekim]

Thanks for these macros Mecurio.
I tested these out in the recent AV weekend and they worked really well (Arcane Mage, Destro Lock x3 & Shadow Priest)

[zenga]

Still being updated as far as I can tell yeah.

I did a check yesterday and it seems they are already working on a cataclysm version. Decided not to use it though as i found another solution for my needs. But as max said, that is a good indication that they won't ditch the project.

Great, I'm glad they are helping some folks! Thanks for the feedback.

[Kalyse]

Could you explain how you would set them up.
Lets say you are 5 boxing all of the same character...

Would you set up every macro on the same key as your master?

So that you just transfer keypress 1 to keypress 1 on every other slave also? So that activiates say Attack?

I'm unsure how to set up this bit...
I tried setting up yesterday all the macros but it took forever and I go nowhere.

[Vociferate]

Same question as Kalyse, I am unsure how to apply these.

Is it as simple as using Super Duper Macro, and pasting them in game? And having them as a one button spam DPS macro?

[outdrsyguy1]

Vociferate, these macros are no longer going to work in 2 or 3 weeks I believe. Definitely not when Cata hits. Bliz changed how the commas are handled.

[Vociferate]

Damnit :(
