From the guide.....

Example J - Managing Eclipse Procs
Let's say you have a Boomkin Druid on one of your teams. The Eclipse talent gives a very large boost to Starfire after receiving a Wrath crit, and a large boost to Wrath after a Starfire crit.

You can create two Click Castsequences. The first will be IS-MF-Wrath and the second will be IS-MF-Starfire. With the wow macro system, if one castsequence is identical to another, and it is called, the other will advance as well -- which means our timing will be perfect no matter when we switch from one to the other. When we see an Eclipse proc, we move from mashing button 1 to mashing button 2.

My question is how to set this up.

First macro- castsequence reset=target IS, MF, wrath, wrath, wrath, wrath
Second macro- castsequence reset=target IS, MF, SF, SF, SF, SF

So if I have those set up for a hotkey 1 and hotkey 2 within wow, as mash 1 it will advance the keybind 2 macro as well?

Also, is there a way to see an eclipse proc on my hot toon? Through jamba or isboxer??

Thanks a ton!

Jamba will let you see the proc through Jamba-Proc.

The beauty of the eclipse cycle now is that it's basically very predictable, and can be macro'd without having to switch. However, if you insist on switching, you can do it very similar to how the guide is written.

Well, click castsequences are gone.
So you could not have an exact copy of the guide, tweaked to your spam speed.

The basic mechanic is to use Nature spells, until you move the bar one way.
Which gets you a bonus with your Arcane spells, at which point you spam those until the bar moves the other way.



As naPS said, you'd probably be better off with a macro which will take you all the way one way, then all the way the other.
And just go with the macro.

Alternatively, go with two macros (castsequences) one for Arcane and the other for Nature.
And then use the toggle to switch between them.

You could use the same approach for Trash vs Boss sequences or whatever.

i use Super Duper Macro for one huge macro. It takes about ten of each to go from one end to the other. The only time i see the bar reset is at login. It won't move backwards until it gets to one end.

I am trying to find a addon what spell is cast, on screen or what ever. Right now its one big question mark.
