I have tried to make a holy dps macro:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=5 Holy Shock, Exorcism, Exorcism, Exorcism, Holy Shock, Exorcism, Exorcism, Exorcism, Holy Shock, Exorcism, Exorcism
/cast Avenging Wrath
/cast Divine Favor
/use 13
/use 14
And for "proc":
/cast Hammer of Wrath
/cast Consecration
One thing bothers me, when I target a mob I lose him as a taret all the time, but when I set my Warlock as main then it works fine.. What am I missing?

Thanks! I'll give that a try then.Quote:

I have checked the macro several times and it seems everything is in place, so I thought its some temp buff, or temp buff which drops the shadowform? Did a bit of research and couldn't come up with any reason why it keeps dropping.
Where would be the best place to insert Unleash Weapon for elemental shamans?
Was thinking of adding a 3rd step to trigger Unleash Weapon when the cooldown wears off. But not sure if that will make my dps suffer instead of increasing.
Silly question but I ran into the same thing last night: Did you make sure that the FTL modifiers are set correctly in the Advanced options for your 2step macro? I didn't and it was causing my FTL to misbehave.Quote:

I can't figure out why my guys are only doing the ; sequence. They refuse to do "3" (which is my main dps key).

[QUOTEIf you are using Lax's "FTL DPS Keys" keymap, you already have a "DPS 2" mapped key that simply sends the keypress of a "2" to all windows when you press "2".
Create another mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" called "2 Step" that is also called when you press "2" but has two steps - the first sends "2" to all windows (exactly as above), while the second step sends ";" to all windows.
Now all you need to do is set up a new mapped key in your "Control" key map. I called mine "2 Step Toggle" and associated it with the "Insert" key. It will have two steps in it.
Step one has 3 actions:
1) A new mapped key state action (one of the options when you add a new step) that toggles the "DPS 2" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to On
2) A new mapped key state action that toggles the "2 Step" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to Off
3) A popup text with a message like "2 Step Turned OFF"
Step two has 3 actions:
1) A new mapped key state action that toggles the "DPS 2" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to Off
2) A new mapped key state action that toggles the "2 Step" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to On
3) A popup text with a message like "2 Step Turned ON"
That's it! Use "Insert" to turn your toggle on or off.
Attach the sequence macros to your "2" key in WoW and the proc macros to your ";" key in WoW. Done.
(Of course, you may want to associate your proc macros with something other than ";" - Pinot used "9" and sent the 2nd step of his "2 Step" mapped key action to "9".)
Also, Va1entines was good enough to post a couple of screenshots of this set up in ISBoxer (thanks Va1entines!):

Trying to add this using the screenies as a reference as I dont understand without start to end guidance.

Did not get far Yet...
I went too isboxer under FTL DPS Keys and created a new one there called it 2 Step, the under that window, under Mapped keys I see my 2 Step, I expanded it and saw steps 1, clicked it and on right window under Actions, there is no option too add like in the sscreen shot, http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3739/secondtq.jpg
to add, Do ftl assist me in general keymaps.
How do I add that so I can try rest of the steps from using the screenshot as a guide ?
Can someone pls have a look and see what I have done wrong ?
When I click the Insert key I do not see any message anywhere that says on or off
Also I keybinded the ; to my action bar 1 to number 10 and put the proc macro in there and my sequence macro to number 1 dps key and changed in the instructions of 2 step to use my DPS 1 key.
But it seems too cast the sequence, Arcane Sequence Macro
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/castsequence Arcane Blast
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Mirror Image
/use Mana Gem
/use 13
/use 14
of arc blast, presense of mind, and mirrors and seems too just loop arc blast casting, havent seen it cast the arc missile procs.
Also I am not sure what /use 13 and /use 14 are ?
http://privatepaste.com/890faf1915
/Use 13 = Top Trinket
/Use 14 = Bottom Trinket
/Use 10 = Gloves
As far as your two step macro goes.
You need a mapped key, with two steps.
On step 1, it sends keybind A
On step 2, it sends keybind B
Have one macro on keybind A, the other on keybind B.
You could go with IS Boxer macros, that wouldn't change anything.
You can test your two step, by putting a chat macro on each key.
/Tell LeadToonName Step 1 works.
Put that on keybind 1.
Do the same on 2, but Step 2 works.
Once the mapped key is working.
Just check the spelling and capitalization of the macros.
I have the macro for cast sequence on my dps 1 key
I have the proc macro on my kep thats after 0 in the dps bar, thathas a keybind too ; and the proc macro was dropped onto that.
When I press 1 the sequence begins, and it works except for the Proc part, it never casts arc missiles, I stayed on the test dummy until I went out of mana and never was any procs casted.
As for Insert, that now works, as I can click Insert key and it toggles message off and on, on my screen.
But I cannot get the proc too trigger.
http://privatepaste.com/b1e8390662
Lax assisted me further, issue was:
the bottom left pane select "2 Step" (in the FTL DPS Keys map), go to its Advanced settingsand check the box at the bottom that says "Do not load"
I did not have mine checked.
Also
and set the Hotkey for "2 Step" to 1
I didnt realise that on the actual " 2 Step" I need too click it and set it too my hotkey 1 lol
Just need to fix my toggle insert as I have it backwards but works hahaha
This is a really powerful macro, amazing and just what I need for my arc mages.
Amazing, thx you author and Lax for assistance, just brilliant, something I got to work woot :)
I'm glad this is still getting some new boxers into a groove where they can be competitive with non-boxers.
As an aside, I'm running a lot of my guys through raids solo ATM and it never ceases to amaze me that I can have above average DPS by just spamming one button.
It allows me to focus on all the mechanics of the fight going on around me. The other DPSers are trying to work through rotations while dealing with all the movement, spreading, contracting, interrupting, defensive cooldown usage, etc. I quickly get a reputation for being a solid DPSer who never screws things up simply becasue the ease of the 2 step.
Well Mercurio it has helped me thats for sure. And I have barely scratched the surface.
Now my mana on my arc mages is unbelieve... Im nowhere near ooming like before.
I plan to try the survival macro in a raid on my main hunter that I raid solo with and see if there is any diference in my dps, it does pretty good dps as it is more the better, damn bow wont drop for me off Valiona or Atramedes week after week after week ARGGG, damn RNG.
Is there a macro and proc 1 for Marksmen ?
I haven't investigated a Marksman rotation yet - Survival works really well, so I'm not overly motivated.
BTW, if you can get Conquest points from arenas every week, the hunter bow/gun there is on par with anything in today's raiding environment.
Why does the surv macro have in proc, black arrow thats not a proc ?
Trying it tonight when we raid and see how the macro pans out.
Also yes I know of the pvp bow, with the amount of alts I have and boxing, and BG weekend spamming of late, I havent had time to even bother to try for conquest pts, but surely this is the week the bow will drop right ? Hasnt been seen not once since we started and thats been sometime... and there is 2 possibilites of obtaining it, Valiona and Atramedes... So tonight Im lucky punk!!! lol... ok wishful thinking.
Small issue with the proc macro on arc mages.
Some encounters in dungeons I need to move in a hurry, and all my dpsers, so when I hit alt + f to get them all to move and follow, the arc mages if 1 or all happen to be on a proc casting arcane missiles they do not move until they have finished the cast, so they either by then have died, or I noticed a little to late that one is out of range and didnt move with the crew and still died.
Whats the way around this ?
Why is this line: Judge/HotR/SotR/HotR/CS ?Quote:

Seems you'd want to lead with the AoE of HotR and if it's an AoE situation then HotR is superior to CS, for single targeting same macro but with CS would be superior.
Couple of Q's on this macro, why have you got steady shot for a Surv Hunter and not Cobra Shot ?Quote:
Survival Hunter
Surv Sequence Macro
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/castsequence Hunter's Mark,Serpent Sting,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Serpent Sting,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot
/cast Rapid Fire
Surv Proc Macro
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/cast Explosive Shot
/cast Black Arrow
/use 13
/use 14
Cobra shot refreshes your serpent sting and regens your focus. Steady is used for MM and BM.
And the Proc, Black Arrow isnt a Proc, its a cool down cast, so having that in the proc, does that mean it will auto cast it once it has come off cool down ?
I tried the macro, and noticed far too many Explosive shots are missed which is huge dps loss, only time it casts explosive is via a proc so the non proccing 1's are being missed and is a huge dps loss.
I raid on my main which is a Surv hunter but never use dps macros but would love this 2 step 1 if it can somehow use explosive when its off cd, and of course when it procs and reapply BA off cd and replace steady with Cobra shot.
Well first, Judgement can be used at a further distance than other attacks, so a lot of people use it first to continue a headstart on agro before the DPS starts in.Quote:

You can also take all of these as starting points.
They are sets of macros, which you know work and work well.
But your needs might be different than the macro authors.
And spells, talents, glyphs and such will change over time too, so what was optimal once might not remain so.
Take the macros as a starting point.
And tweak them, if you think something works better.
Play around with it for a while, and then either keep it or revert back to these.
You can always try different variations.
If you find something that works better, please consider sharing with the community.
That is what makes this such a great site for boxing; lots of people sharing ideas with others.
Ack! My hunter macro still says Steady Shot here? Darn, I changed that to Cobra Shot as soon as I reached a high enough level on both my hunters. I'll go back and update it on the initial post.Quote:

I've been using that macro in raids and do fine DPS with it. I'm sure I might get marginally more DPS out of watching a rotation carefully, but then I'd be screwing other things in the raid up because so much of my attention would be on the rotation, not the MUCH more important situational awareness demanded in todays raids.
Thanks for your comments.
Trying it, using HotR/Judge/HotR/SotR/HotR generated more threat but less mana efficient, toggling the hotkey between CS based macro and an HotR based macro and between seals is most efficient with regards to maximizing mana and dps, but trades in ease of use, so it depends on much micro managing you want to do.Quote:

I see you changed it too Cobra, going too try it again shortly as we raiding in a few hrs, Im just looking for a more lazy way too keep my dps above 20+ ahahhah.
And being what I am with macro's and all this tinkering, New to me, even still, I want too try fire on my mages, well they already dual specced into fire, but specificly the 2 step macroes on them.
What could going wrong with the fire mages.... i copied your proc macro same way I did for Arcane which works great btw.
My mage seems too manually cast pyro blast and not actually cast it when the proc comes up.
All I did was same thing as before, except used your fire mage macro
Fire Sequence Macro
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=target/5 Scorch,Fireball,Fireball,Fireball,Living Bomb,Fireball,Fireball,Fireball,Fireball,Living Bomb,Fireball,Fireball,Fireball,Fireball,Living Bomb,Fireball
/cast Pyroblast!
That macro is in my number 1 bar, and proc
Fire Proc Macro
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/cast Mirror Image
/cast Combustion
/use Mana Gem
/use 13
/use 14
Looking at Arcane proc macro inside it is has inside it arcane missiles, but the fire proc has not got anything for pyro blast.
I tried too add it same way you had your arc proc but replaced the word arcane missiles with pyro blast, but it still isnt launching the pyroblast on proc.
What am I doing wrong please ?
Also I would like too learn too tweak your macroes for my own situations but I don't understand somethings, could someone please be kind to explain things like:
Quote:
/castsequence reset=6 Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Missiles
What does the reset=6 mean ? resets after 6 casts ? 6 seconds ?Quote:
/castsequence reset=target/5
Also the reset=target/5 ?
A castsequence normally loops through A then B then C then D.
Once it reaches the end or last ability, it loops back to the first (A).
If you include something like NULL, or a non-existant spell then it cannot advance beyond that point.
So gets stuck there.
Ditto for a spell that is on cooldown, the sequence sticks until the spell fires off.
Not saying until the spell hits, just until the sequence can do it and advance to the next point.
There are various reset conditions.
Once any of these are valid, the entire sequence starts over at the first ability or spell.
Reset=
- Target = Change of Target
- Combat = Leaving Combat
- Alt = Pressing the castsequence while Alt is held
- Ctrl = Same as Alt
- Shift = Same as Alt
- 4 = After four seconds of the castsequence key not being pushed (even if it cannot fire off, if you're mashing away the sequence will not reset)
You can combine these.
So with reset=target/5... the sequence resets when you change targets or when you haven't pushed the castsequence macro at all for five or more consecutive seconds.
Hm I see now, Thank You, Ualaa.
Also I need to re-try the fire proc, as right now am in the middle of using the surv hunter macro and I know why the fire proc was not working, lol... when I logged to my hunter just now too test Surv macro, it too wasnt working, then I relalised,..... INSERT, too toggle it on lol...
As for Surv macro, its working nicely, except it takes far to long to re-apply black arrow, sometimes as much as 7+ cobra casts before it re-applies Black Arrow after its fallen off.
Not really issue as its easy too re-apply and rest of macro works amazingly well so thats going to be one hell of a lazy way too dps tonight on Ala'kir and thats what Im after :P
Brilliant stuff. Less I have too care about my procs and sequence the better for my overall surroundings like Damn tornades and wind blasts.
Going to try and come up with something for Marksmen as I do amazing dps as MM on certain fights, its just a real pain too monitor a sequence on.
Damn you awesome people, I can never get enough of this place :)
You may need to adjust your spam speed. I saw a post earlier where spamming a multistep macro too fast can seriously impact how often the "proc" section actually has a chance to occur.
You could also try moving to a 3step macro instead of just 2, where Explosive Shot and Black Arrow are each individual macros.

Just add another mapped step, so instead of using 2 and ;
add another step there so instead of just 2 then ;, it sends 2, then ; then 3 or whatever other key.Quote:

Change the second macro to just send Explosive Shot, and remove Black Arrow.
Add a new macro to send Black Arrow and put it on the new key.
Thx that worked used it tonight, worked well, but overall dps was lower, so after a few bosses ditched the macro and went back to usual play.
Definitely would be handy in heroics or other situations where I am using the hunter for boxing purposes though.
Having Explosive Shot and Black Arrow on separate keys, and regularly spamming both of those...
Which you would be, with a three step.
Neither ability would ever be "stuck" after the other, if it was ready and the other was on cooldown or lacked focus or whatever.
How/where do you find out what item is numbered for /use ?
Like I know few pages back /use 13 and /use 14 is trinkets cause Ualaa explained it to me ahaha :)
And /use 10 is Gloves, what about the rest ? How do you find this out please ?
Oh brilliant, Thank You kindly :))
That linked helped alot :)
Love the fire proc 2 step macro, works really well.
Going to try and make some time on weekend (Hopefully) and come up with one for MM hunter.
Shania you can find most DPS 2 step macros at my project as well (at least a good place to start)Quote:

You back Aragent? Happy to see that! I haven't integrated any of your more complex setup into ISBoxer (as discussed, there are some pros and cons, and I'm fairly happy with my current setup), but I like the concept and can definitley see the allure for some people. I'm glad you've created another option for folks and am always looking to see how those on your thread can add to the 2 Step macro database.
Yes been back but just been just trollingQuote:

I have been tinkering with a multi step macro Stay tuned I think you all will like the update.
also with the update it should be easier to use the projects macros for starting points for others
Just a quick, huge "Thanks" for this guide.
Originally a KeyClone user, I took a year off but came back just before Cata and decided to move up to ISBoxer at the same time.
I RAFd a bunch of 2-man teams up very easily and had my 5-shammies working well but was struggling to really get my mixed team motoring... but this guide sorted me out :)
Very much appreciated!
