Blood DK Macro under the Mosg2 Manifesto

[Phanes]

Proprs to Khatovar for helping me figure this out.

Using the Mosg2 Manifesto I utilize the following system.

Button 1 Runic Dump


#showtooltip
/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null
/cast Rune Strike


Button 2 Horn of Winter/Blood Boil since I use the roiling blood talent this refreshes my diseases for me automatically every 20 to 25 seconds and spread them to adds.


#showtooltip
/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat Horn of Winter, Blood Boil

Button 3 Bone Shield I cast this before each fight but many fights run long enough to cast it again.


/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null
/cast Bone Shield

Button 4 AMS This will go off multiple times each fight.


/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null
/cast Anti-Magic Shell

Button 5 is Death Strike I have this before heart strike because as a tank I want to heal more often.


/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null
/cast Death Strike

Button 6 Heart Strike


/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null
/cast Heart Strike


Using this system last night in LFR I was 2nd in DPS as the main tank. None of the other tanks could pull aggro off me. I ran 30k with a hunter running 32k everyone else was below me. Then I went in my guild raid as the off tank and out DPSd our main tank who does things manually I also kept pulling aggro off of him and he is Ilevel 400+ with best chants, arcanums, epic gems etc. I am Ilevel 390 with blue Gems, Best Chants, No Arcanums.

Thanks again for your help. If anyone has any suggestions to make this better or any questions feel free to post them.

So just to be clear, you are spamming all those buttons at the exact same time right? So every time you press your DPS button, isboxer is pressing 1-5 ingame?

Yep and this system squeezed another several K dps out of a macro system I was using before that I thought was dead on.

1-6 right?:) just checking because i'm going to slap this in my blood dk profile.

[Blubber]

Yes 1-6 it is :]

I tried it on my 70 blood DK and for me it didn't work. With my previous setup I got about 1.4K dps, with this system barely 1K. Kind of weird.

Are you missing spells? because you're not max yet?

Your talents will have an affect on this as well. Check out my toon his name is Emrict on Uldum. Roiling blood really helps this along DPS wise.

I set this up last night and ran the Theramore scenario... Works great... Now just to get a good guardian druid one going...

Why do you have this sequence in every macro? "/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null"? Putting it it one would do the same no?

[Ualaa]

I'm assuming you want every combat to begin with those three abilities, sequentially and in that order.

When one advances, they all advance.
Meaning if you mash these abilities in this order: Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Blood Boil...
Each of the sequences would count for Icy Touch having fired off already, but not PS or BB.

By having those three in multiple sequences, whether a 1, 3, 5 or 6 is pushed, the initial desired opener fires off.
(My 1, 3, 5, and 6 are purely numbers I picked, not sure what is actually on those numbers).

[Khatovar]

Why do you have this sequence in every macro? "/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat/alt Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Boil, null"? Putting it it one would do the same no?

Because as Ualaa states, cast sequences that are the same always processed at the same time no matter where it is called from. I have used this setup with my Unholy DK since I started her in Cata. This way my diseases are always put up before my runes are wasted on anything else.

Now that I am using a priority setup, though, I just segmented off the sequence into the top priority in my list. But with a multistep setup, I needed them across every macro so that it would get my diseases up before moving on to my spam strikes or spreading them.

I'm guessing this is the problem. Going to go back to my old setup, and then when I hit 80 I'm going to try it again.
