you can use round robin if you are using keyclone.

Char2 /cast ,Bloodlust,,,
Char3 /cast ,,Bloodlust,,

I wouldn't use cast sequence for something like bloodlust because of the long cooldown and how bad it would be if you wasted them.

Cast sequence tends to double up sometimes due to lag if you press them too fast, which I usually do with earth shock and tremor. *(Tremor on castsequence so the pulses delay for perma fear immunity ,V, ^_^ )

Binding to a different button each is what i would do. Takes up more button slots, but its better then messing up at a later date.

I use keyclone, but I don't like how the round robin works so I use cast sequence.

I use castsequence too. But I thought of a variant for this, but not tried it yet.

If you use castsequence with a real short reset like /castsequence reset=1 Bloodlust,,, then your next alt /castsequence reset=1 ,Bloodlust,, etc.

then you could tap the key 1 time for your first bloodlust, 2 times for your second bloodlust, 3 times for third bloodlust. etc. This will reduce the risk of making the macro out of sync and wasting your cooldowns.

I havent tried this yet, but I might if I find that I waste my cooldowns too much with a normal sequence with 600 sec reset.

Char1 /cast Bloodlust,,,,
Char2 /cast ,Bloodlust,,,
Char3 /cast ,,Bloodlust,,
Char4/cast ,,,Bloodlust,
Char5/cast ,,,,Bloodlust

I use this with reset timers built in. It works 90% of the time. Every so often it'll screw up and fire two at once. Oh well.

I use the same concept for Earth Elementals too.I use the same here too for just about everything on all my guys (Deathcoil, frost nova, etc.). Only caveat is you HAVE to learn to not spam the key. ;)

Yes this does work.

Here is what I use for my 3 Shaman Earth shock.

Shaman 1

#showtooltip Earth Shock(Rank 1)
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=15 Earth Shock(Rank 1),,

Shaman 2

#showtooltip Earth Shock(Rank 1)
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=15 ,Earth Shock(Rank 1),

Shaman 3

#showtooltip Earth Shock(Rank 1)
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=15 ,,Earth Shock(Rank 1)
