This is the current DPS macro I'm using.
/cast Auto Attack
/castsequence reset=11 Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning
However, I cannot take advantage of the Lava Surge proc, because if I add /cast Lava Burst to the bottom of the macro, it causes the macro to stall.
I've read people who multibox Elemental Shamans can use Lava Burst in there DPS macros...
you can place lavaburst on its own button and have ISboxer ( if you use it. you should be! ) spam it and your main dps key at the same time.. or make it a 2nd step.
I use PwnBoxer, so am I suppost to spam it alongside my main DPS key? Could you please take my macro and re-work it, because I don't know what you mean.Quote:

I am not subbed to WoW atm.. im playing EQ2.
Use /swapactionbar or /click. Place the macro for Lava Burst on another key, change your macros to either include
/changeactionbar # - swaps to another action bar in the range of 1-6. This is the same as the default ingame paging. If you put your main macro on action bar 1 and your second on action bar 2, your first macro will read along the lines of
This will try to cast from the main cast sequence and change your action bar to actionbar 2. Your second macro will readCode:/castsequence reset=11 Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning
/changeactionbar 2
This will try to cast Lava Burst and change your action bar back to 1.Code:/cast Lava Burst
/changeactionbar 1
/swapactionbar # # - toggles between 2 action bars. This is pretty much the same as above, but uses one command to change back and forth
Code:/castsequence reset=11 Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning
/swapactionbar 1 2
I personally think it's a little more messy this way, especially if you're using more than 2 "steps".Code:/cast Lava Burst
/swapactionbar 1 2
/click - used to call another macro from your current macro instead of physically swapping the action bars in game. In this case, you have your normal macro, plus the /click command
You'd then put a normal Lava Burst on another key, in this case button 3 and whenever you call the macro, it will try to cast the castsequence and Lava Burst on button 3.Code:/castsequence reset=11 Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning
/click ActionButton3
Use the command /fstack in game and mouse over the button that you placed your proc on to get the Button Name for the /click part.Code:/cast Lava Burst
You can also try altering your current macro as the fall-thru castsequence does still work in some cases. As Elemental, you have no need for autoattack. Also, having Lava Burst as part of the /castsequence will always cause lockups if it's on cooldown and because Lava Surge can cause the cooldown to be reset at any time, you could end up with a reset at the end of the castsequence and then be locked out for up to 8 seconds.
With the fall-thru macro and the "spell queueing" from the Custom Lag Tolerance option, you can fairly reliably get Lava Burst to try and cast between each successive spell in the castsequence. I just posted a similar macro to this for tldr's Moonkins.Code:/castsequence reset=11 Flame Shock, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning
/cast Lava Burst
Adjusting your Custom Lag Tolerance to get a little bit of leeway for spell queueing can be a very big help in most cases and I'd highly suggest playing around with it a bit in addition to the macro changes.
I changed most of my fallthrough macros to priority kind and those work quiet reliably for shamans.
The above is just an example for Lava Burst and not my complete elemental rotation.Code:/castsequence reset=target Flame Shock,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Lava Burst
/castsequence reset=5 Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock
[QUOTE=RSM72;379848]I'm not level 34 yet so I don't have Lava Burst. Can I call this macro and NOT lockup?Code:/castsequence reset=target Flame Shock,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Lava Burst
/castsequence reset=5 Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock
I ask because I'd like to add it now, and then in a couple of days when I hit 34 I'd automatically start taking advantage of Lava Burst without having to go back and update the macro.
You can always just try it yourself. If it doesn't work, throw # in front of the Lava Burst Line and remove the # when you get Lava Burst.Quote:

Its more likely that the macro will seem to lock up because you change target while flameshock is still on cooldown.
There are some macros on lazymacro.com site that are good 1 button mashes.
