Um, well, to play pvp with reasonable performance, you need to be a button masher, or you will be wasting valuable time when coming out of CC.
And.. button mashing and automatic round-robin doesnt mix well.

I'm not sure why you'd want to button mash in this situation. If you're trying to do massive AoE (as in three typhoons) then mash away. If you're just coming out of CC and worried about the guy on top of you, why wouldn't you want another toon who isn't CC'd to be doing the spell? If I am stunned and I hit "1" during the stun then the rogue is still going flying. If he starts approaching me again then I hit 1 again until I see a typhoon go off. If I spam any button then they're all going to use the ability which doesn't seem useful in a situation where you're trying to make and maintain difference.Quote:

I replaced my old bloodlust button (round robin in keyclone) with nova totem. OMG what a difference that is. Kept those bastard melee off me. I have TS on round robin and I would ts then nova and by the time they come back they get stunned. Then ts again if they are not dead. Plus I still have my tsx5 and novax5 if I want to do that too.
Yo guys.. I was part of developing this idea.. thought it was His idea and resoults.. So all credit to him:D
But i really feel that you ppl are missing out the idea with this... The point is not to do 1 1 1 1 TS or 4xTS or what ever. or why not use 1 button to add 4x Goundings..
Most of us have keys for all kinda things.. and ofc 4x grounding is a good way to start when the fight is starting... and at some point you might want to try to 4x TS a few ppl down.. But in the middle of the fight when your HP starts droping and you just need to make a little space for you to nuke someone down or to heal back up.. or just to be able to take a good deep breath... Then this Button that we are talking about is what you might want to use...
So whats happens is that.. 1xTS will blow ppl off you, 1x Fire nova will be droped... so that 5 seconds later when they all come runing back in and are narly on you.. they get stuned... and on top of this just to add in somthinging on the 2 last shammys (assuming you have 4) you have groundings. It might be that your goundings are allrdy on CD from your first 4x gorunding button you used.. but if not then 2 more should be added to drop alittle dps off you for some sec... So this whole thing is a way to make some space.. a few seconds that you can use to get something done. And this whole setup is 4x round robined.. Or set out on 4 diffrent buttons if you want max control on it.. I personaly think i will do that.. F5 F6 F7 F8. And then i ofc have my 4xTS button for panicing :P
PS: Allie, you are "the god of 5v5 shammy boxing" if i may say so :P ..you didnt really say much, could you give your thought on this a bit more detailed :P
by the time 5 grounding totems get wanded down you can cast them again.Quote:

Also you need to be going up against some smart players for that to happen.
And again pressing grounding totem once to drop 5 is better then having to mash it over and over when you could be healing or dpsing imo.
Or you could TSx5 and blast them 80 plus yards away, heal up, drop totems and blast them before they make it back to you.Quote:

one TS is crap imo as you dont have time to do anything.
Oh yeah, that would be sweet, if the knockback from Thunderstorm stacked. 80 yards, lolz.Quote:

The record is 3 and i did send a guy from LM and almost down to the flag on bs!
However you have to fire them right after each other and it doesnt always work.
Wow, I'll have to try that. I've always either fired them simultaneously or separated by enough time where I guess I've never seen that.Quote:

I can see the value of staggering the TB and the FN totems, of course, but I'm not seeing how this is better than a castsequnce macro or round-robin.
I also can't agree on the grounding. 1 button 4 totems for me. Not only are you protected better early, but it's easier for me to remember to drop them when they are all synced up time wise. And yeah, if there is enough wands/spell casts to clear them all out before I can recast them, then spreading them out isn't going to help any.
On balance, it seems to me one RR button is better, but thanks for sharing the idea anyway. Glad it's helping your game.
