Just so You know my lock has terrible gear, mostly lvl 78, so not too bad
Wow.. That is.. impressive Oo Gonna try your macro too fur :P
Hmm, my locks do pretty good dps, but not that good. Is that just a spike when heroism is on? or can you sustain that? I'm interested in how much you shortened the sequences by. I don't think im casting conflagerate often enough. I also made a change to the macro, I added a reset=combat/target to the immolate one, as I found that regular trash mobs die so fast, its in the middle of the sequence, and the macro stops because there isnt an immolate on the target. Also, i think i need to tweak my spec. I have one point different from the build Fur posted in the other thread, and i think its a waste, im torn between putting it into the AoE stun talent, or into reduced threat/increased range, as it is in the cookie cutter spec.
my macros look like this:
/assist focus
/use 13
/use 14
/click BT4Button8
/click BT4Button9
/click BT4Button10
/click BT4Button11
/click BT4Button12
using sdm for first one to make it fit more than 255

she will sustain around 3200-3300 dps, but her gear is bad, got couple upgrades yesterday, but still not too good
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...eaver&n=Tikaty
1400 spl power :P
I can see why Niley does those number, but your other shaman are not any better geared than my best shaman and I use the exact same macro, I can never get 5500+ dps!! Do i spam my button too fast? I have tried slowing down my spam rate and it seems to not make any difference 8(
the ss posted here is with CoE, this is the reason why i was asking about this macro, i switched a shaman for a warlock in my team.Quote:

hmm.. ill have to bust out my boomkin and test him out on the dummies! ( grouped with my shams ) Also did you have CL in there?Quote:

How much difference did CoE make? I mean, is there more synergy with the lock than the 10%?
what about this for the CoE, it last 5 min so unless it's dispelled or the fight last longer than 5 min this should work good.
/castsequence reset=combat/target Curse of the Elements,null
That's what I do Cat. Only resets on combat or a new target. Works quite well.
I did have to adjust my conflag/chaos bolt though to reset only on combat/XX with xx being the cooldown. I did have it set for combat/target, but my macros would hang on trash when the targets switch fast and conflag/chaos bolt is still on cd.
Lock is my no 1 dps right now, seen her hit 8k few times(she sucks at trash). coe added right around 800 dps on average to my shamans.Quote:

Secondly, damn. My lock is in bad gear and doesn't touch any of that. Grats.
Thirdly, do any of you add a Life Tap into you dps macro to regain mana without thinking about it and to utilize a Life Tap Glyphfor extra SP?
Thanks.
I don't run my destro lock much at the moment, I have life tap on a separate key and tap it before an encounter as the extra damage effect lasts for 40 secs (i think), if I remember I tap again.
I'm going to switch from CoA to CoE, initially i thought i was wasting GCDs recasting it, but the /casesequence CoE,Null will work perfectly.
I've noticed that my mage and shaman will do more dps on some of the shorter trash fights, but once my lock gets going, he stays pretty good. Fully buffed, with totem of wrath down, my lock is pushing 2600 spellpower. Ive seen 5k dps on the heroic dummy. I'd venture that CoE will be a pretty big boost, as on average CoA only does like 5% of the overall damage. My entire team pumps out a lot of damage, even my pally regularly breaks 2k, sometimes 2.5k. I've resorted to smiting with my priest for another 1-1.5k (all that spellpower lol)
Someone on irc asked me to post this.
I had to redo my slaves ui(its usually 960x600, maximized here so i can test the macros), and decided to re make the macros and re adjust them.
this was the result of this - http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/2...3009005042.jpg
Gained good 700 dps over old result, and it was as high as 5900 when everything procced.
but here goes, you can see button placemet on the ui, i had regulr buttons above macros so i can see CDs and make sure that abilities are up when they supposed to be and to make sure that ones on Cd are casted next.
Main Dps Macro:
/assist focus
/use 13
/use 14
/click ActionButton8
/click ActionButton9
/click ActionButton10
/click ActionButton11
/click ActionButton12
1 -I use sdm and it looks like this- http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7972/...3009005937.jpg I don't want it to be cast more than once a fight, H 5 man boss wont last more than 5 minutes.(dont get confused here by numbers next to spells below, this isnt cast order, just the order in which i wrote those macros)
2 /castsequence reset=combat/target Immolate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
3 /castsequence reset=combat Chaos Bolt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,
4 /castsequence reset=combat Conflagrate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
5 /cast incinerate
Chaos bolt before conflag, main reason for that is on first application of immolate you have to wait for immolate to actually hit the boss until you can cast conflag, bu putting chaos in between you never stop casting.
I just worked LifeTap into my rotation and I have noticed some improvement. I have it weaved in with my CoA macro so it taps about every 40 seconds.
coe is more important for me than coa, unless you have another source of coe type debuff, even if lock is the only caster he will do way more damage with coe than coa(unless you have moonkin or unholy dk of course).Quote:

a perfect 40s lifetap in the macro:
/assist focus
/use 13
/use 14
/click ActionButton7
/click ActionButton8
/click ActionButton9
/click ActionButton10
/click ActionButton11
/click ActionButton12
1 CoE with SDM
2 /castsequence reset=combat Life tap,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
3 /castsequence reset=combat/target Immolate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
4 /castsequence reset=combat Chaos Bolt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,
5 /castsequence reset=combat Conflagrate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
6 /cast incinerate
Could you just do /cast Curse of the Elements, null since you most likely are only going to cast it once per fight?
you know you want to..... just powerboost it through dungeons with the rest of your team and you should be fine. i think at 75 you can do the lvl 80 dungeons. Solo quest inbetween to break it up, try AV for kicks. With shoulders and chest leveling aint too bad any more.Quote:

Ya my lock easily beats my arc mage and destroys my boomkin (dunno wtf is up with his dps).
you can i just have it set to right around 4 mins 30s, just in case, it doesn't hurt anything.Quote:
