Pimp my Macros

I have a mixed team I am trying to adjust to, they are level 64. I have played all of the classes solo, but I am having trouble getting the best out of each class. I am open to suggestions:

Filrean - Pally Tank
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...mmer&n=Filrean
He is actually doing pretty well. Just over 410 dps on a dungeon clear.

Saprill - Shadow Priest
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...mmer&n=Saprill
DPS Macro 1

Code:

---

#showtooltip
/use Vengeance of the Illidari
/castsequence [target=party1target, nochanneling] reset=combat vampiric touch, mind blast, mind flay, mind flay, mind blast, mind flay, mind flay
/cast devouring plague

---

This is one of many I have tried. It won't Mind Flay, at all. Her dps is around 225.

This is on my pull button

Code:

---

#showtooltip Shadow Word: Pain
/cast [target=party1target] Shadow Word: Pain

---

Profix - Frost Mage
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ammer&n=Profix
Dps Macro

Code:

---

#showtooltip
/use Vengeance of the Illidari
/cast icy veins
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead][target=party1target,nodead] Frostbolt

---

Not bad, around 490 dps, but I feel like I could do more. It hangs for some reason at times and he does nothing :/

I have this on my pull button

Code:

---

#showtooltip Summon Water Elemental
/stopcasting
/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=144 Summon Water Elemental, Cold Snap

---

At times this does nothing, even if the Water Elemental's CD is up.

Rahtinflesh - Disc/Holy Priest
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&n=Rahtinflesh
I'm actually content with him. I have a spam heal and a smite spam button on him :/

Zesstrya - Destro Lock
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...mer&n=Zesstrya
Main DPS spam button, I sub a different one in for some bosses that does Incinerate, Conflag, etc.

Code:

---

#showtooltip Shadow Bolt
/use 13
/use 14
/castrandom [target=party1target] Shadow Bolt, Chaos Bolt

---

Her dps, with the imp out, is around 465 with this.

I also have a macro on the pull button that does CoE (CoDoom if I push shift). This was an RAF team so I had no macros at all except follow from 1-60. I am trying to retro-fit them with things that work. Any suggestions are welcome. I know some of them may be sloppy or error filled. I have basically been subbing macros from this site in and out and trying to find good fits.

Thanks,
Colt

I stopped using the nodead condition in my dps macros after i discovered it wouldn't let me cast on hunters that used feign death.

Saprill - Shadow Priest

#showtooltip
/use Vengeance of the Illidari
/castsequence [target=party1target, nochanneling] reset=combat vampiric touch, mind blast, mind flay, mind flay, mind blast, mind flay, mind flay
/cast devouring plague

Try small parts. Usually if you do one thing, it works and when you add more, you notice what you just did that made it not work.
/cast Mind Flay
Did it work?
/castsequence Mind Flay
DIW?
/castsequence [target=party1-target] Mind Flay
DIW?
/cast sequence [target=party1-target, nochanneling] Mind Flay
DIW?
/cast sequence [target=party1-target, nochanneling] reset=combat Mind Flay, Mind Flay
DIW?
/cast sequence [target=party1-target, nochanneling] reset=combat Vampiric Touch, Mind Flay
DIW?
/cast sequence [target=party1-target, nochanneling] reset=combat Vampiric Touch, Mind Blast, Mind Flay
DIW?
Hopefully it either works (mistyped or something silly) or it breaks in a noticeable way. One thing that sometimes helps is shift-clicking spells from your spellbook so they are formated/spelled correctly. Hope that helps.

save some characters on macros by using

/use 13
/use 14

for your trinkets. 13 will be the upper slot and 14 will be the lower slot. This way you dont have to type out the whole name of the trinket everytime you upgrade.

just remember on the mindflay's when you are spamming your dps button its going to just cast the first second of it and stop and try to cast it again. If you want to mindflay properly you'll have to move it to a different key than your main dps spamming button.

I went a different way with my SPriest . . .

Here are the 3 macros I am testing, with surprising results.

DPS SPAM BUTTON

Code:

---

/click MultiBarBottomLeftButton8
/click MultiBarBottomLeftButton9

---

DOT MACRO

Code:

---

#showtooltip
/castsequence [target=focustarget,harm][target=party1target] reset=target Vampiric Embrace, Vampiric Touch, Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Death, Shadow Word: Pain,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

---

DPS MACRO

Code:

---

#showtooltip
/castsequence [target=focustarget,harm][target=party1target] reset=target ,,,,,Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Blast, Vampiric Touch, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Flay,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

---

It isn't exact but my dps went from 267 on a level 60 dummy to 513! I might mess with this /click business more on other toons, but I still need to get Saprill's perfected first.

Any good ideas on my mage? I want to pop Water Elemental when it's up, Icy Veins when it's up and Cold Snap when I can (so I can get my WE out more), and I want to spam Frostbolt. No Ice Lance or any other junk, but FB. I have a separate macro with Cone of Cold, Frost Nova and AE on it.

i guess you could use a /castrandom on it

#show tooltip
/use 13
/use 14
/castrandom Icy veins, water elemental, frostbolt, cold snap, frost bolt, frost bolt

Might be a better way but i cant think of one at the moment... still full from lunch and my brain slows down to enjoy the food :)

To get the SPriest to cast Mind Flay or ANY channeled spell you have to use /assist. At least I found that was the only thing that made my 5 box lock team spam drain life channels.

@Whitechapel. Thanks. I actually found a post where Vyndree said the same thing :/

@Oatboat - for some reason the /use 13 and /use 14 won't work on my toons since 3.1. They only have one trinket equipped but that shouldn't matter. Something weird is going on there.

I just worked out a dps macro from my warlock. It added about 200 dps, bringing here to around 640 or so.

Code:

---

#showtooltip
/castsequence [target=focustargettarget,harm][target=party1target] reset=target Chaos Bolt, Immolate, Conflagrate, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt

---

I don't have incinerate for another 25,000 xp :P, so I just used Shadow Bolt. I got most of this info from Warlock's Den.

I have this on my pull button

#showtooltip Summon Water Elemental
/stopcasting
/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=144 Summon Water Elemental, Cold Snap
At times this does nothing, even if the Water Elemental's CD is up.

---

Try removing the reset or lowering it? If you're hitting your pull button again before 144 seconds are up, you would run into issues where you're restarting the timer and nothing will go off because it's stuck on waiting for the coldsnap timer to progress. If it can't reach the end of the macro because CS is still on cooldown, it can't loop around to the start of the macro to pop the WE, and it can't reset because you told it to wait 144 seconds without any action in order to clear its' status in the macro.

Try using:

/castrandom[target=focustarget] Summon Water Elemental;
/cast Cold Snap

Here's a dumb question, why do you need a target to cast Water Elemental?

My SPriest is lvl 70 atm and I use this dps macro.

Code:

---

/target focustarget
/castsequence [harm,nochanneling] reset=target Mind Flay, Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay

---

The reason I don't start off with the DoTs is that for non-elites by the time they get put on the mobs are dead. Don't start with a Mind Blast either because it has a 5.5s cd and if the timeing is right between targets youll be sitting around waiting on it. Keep in mind that Mind Flay has a shorter range than other spells and this can lower your dps if you get stuck out of range without realising it. My priests does slightly lower dps than my other casters but only because I do get out of range of Mind Flay at times. Mind flay is great for non elites while questing too because it slows movement speed and the mob will never reach you before dying.

Also remember that a Mind Blast to a target with Vampiric Touch on will give your group the replenishment buff, 0.25% mana regen every sec for 15 secs. Very nice addition to keep your mana up. Ends up giving about as much mana as a mana spring totem.

dps macro i am using for my destro lock,


/petattack
/castsequence reset=15 Immolate, Chaos Bolt, Conflagrate, Shadow Bolt, Shadow bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow bolt, Shadow bolt

Do you skip Incinerate because you don't have it yet or because it isn't good in your rotation? Also, do you still have to do /petattack? My Imp goes right away but sometimes my Water Elemental doesn't attack right away.

It takes up a bit more space but couldn't you use concurrent castsequence lines to circumvent the roadblock when a more powerful spell is active.
I dont know locks well so I will use Conflag as the multiple ranks available spell:

Code:

---

/castsequence reset=15 Immolate, Chaos Bolt,, Shadow Bolt, Shadow bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow bolt, Shadow bolt
/castsequence reset=15 ,, Conflagrate,,,,

---

That would move both sequences along and just skip conflag if for some reason it wasnt available.
