Castrandom+Castsequence?

I'm at work.. another bored at work theorycrafting post...

Would this work?

/castrandom ,,,,,,,,Lesser Healing wave
/castsequence [stuff][] spell1, spell2, spell3

Would it bypass the castrandom and kickoff the castsequence rotation if the selection in the castrandom was ","?

Yes.

Testing right now... this damn thing sure does cast LHW a buttload... even with 10 commas in there.

have you tried it the other way and see if it has a better result

/castrandom [stuff] spell, spell, spell,,
/cast lesser healing wave

maybe that will give you better results.

Edit: I believe this was in another forum. I learned alot from it

/castsequence ,,,,,Lesser Healing wave
/cast xxx

I thought this would cast xxx 5 times and one Lesser healing wave but it doesn't.
the problem I have with this setup is this, when I start spamming a button I really start spaming the button.
the "," takes zero cast time and zero global cool down.
so lets stay XXX takes 1.5 seconds to cast (or the global cool down) and I spam the button 3 times in the 1.5 seconds.
so I've blown through 3 of the "," as in ",,," with only one cast of XXX
but if I slowly press the button I get a cast of XXX for each ","

HI I also experienced problems with the , in castsequence


e.g.:
Toon1
/castsequence [harm] reset=combat/target Fear,,
Toon2
/castsequence [harm] reset=combat/target ,Fear,
Toon3
/castsequence [harm] reset=combat/target ,,Fear


All macros are bound to the same button.
if I press it I see most of the times two toons casting fear at the same time.

Maybeit is in the implementation:

I am using Keyclone
and xkeys, or my G15 or G13to send they keys ALT+5

basically you have to program a key ALT+5 down event and a ALT+5 up event for a "single" keypress.

Has anyone any ideas of timings and if I need to put a keydown delay of a couple of miliseconds in between ?

[NB: it is still a single key press and not a sequence of keys with delays!!]

I ran around for a couple weeks with "passive" healing setup on my dps sham using this construct:

Code:

---

/castrandom  lb,cl,,
 /cast [target=targettarget] lesser healing wave

---

I ended up ditching it because it was throttling my dps more then I wanted and overhealing by a fair margin, but it did keep the heals rolling and I very rarely had to hit my dedicated heal key.
