To test if my macros is efficient I manually control spell casting on a target dummy to see how high my dps can be if everything is done correctly and manuel. Then I tweak my macros to get as close as possible to this number.
Just a hint on how I roll :D
Ive been writing macros since vanilla wow, your macros i was using were a rough guideline fore me. i took your basic idea and developed it to suit my game style, as the amount of "." you put in were reflections of how many times you keystroke / gcd basically so i had to time mine and work out spell cool downs, i was merely referring to the fact that all of a sudden my ones dont work as well as they used to, and was wondering did anyone else suddenly run into this, the macros themselves werent the problems. i just cant quantify why i lost 1k in dps while going up in gear.Quote:

As others have pointed out, we're all seeing an increase in overall DPS, so that points so something wrong with your setup.
i was merely questioning how my macros had suddenly stopped being as efficient as they used to be! and had other people found this, and how did they resolve it, it find it slightly amusing that is all. i have spent a good bit of time playing with them and tweaking them.
Edit :> problem fixed. it was an ingame problem of sorts, when i went investing everything and bringing my shammys back to the EJ forums ele shammy dps simulator taking down their details i noticed that for what ever reason most of my gear was not registering on the char screen, apperently stuck in a limbo where all the enchants weren't working and not only that any item that had been enchanted was not registering properly so in effect i had gear on at all except rings, trinkets, necks etc, after ticketing a GM he said its a known bug caused by making items trade able for two hours. and when i gemmed them they stopped working. a clean out of my wow folders and a bit of effort from him and it seems back to normal of sorts
So, there was something wrong with YOUR setup. :)
Glad you got it sorted out.
That's a bit worrying. So does the bug only affect the 2h trade able items you enchant or all your items?Quote:

You can review World of Logs, even for heroic 25 man content most elemental shaman are below this mark for a night of raiding. So most people are probably not going to see this multiboxing unless it's bloodlusted.Quote:
