Considering coming back - what's new?

[Ualaa]

Castsequence is the same.
Castrandom is the big change/nerf.

Basically castrandom used to randomly try an option on each press.
And if that option failed, randomly try a new option on the next press.
Now it randomly picks an option and continues to attempt that specific option until it fires off.
So something like:
/castrandom Tranquil Shot, Rapid Shot, Steady Shot, Mend Pet...
Could get stuck on Rapid Shot if that was on cooldown and every press would do nothing.

Click castsequences are for most classes a ton stronger then normal castsequences.
Essentially pick the spells you'd cast for your class.
Pick how often you'd like them to fire off.
Prioritize which of them is more important.
Check how often you spam your dps key (spam it for 15 seconds, divide the number of clicks by 15).
Create a master macro, which calls all of the others.
Spam the master macro at your normal spam speed.
Set up the subsequent macro's with comma's (delays) based on your spam speed.

For example...

This will cast Faerie Fire once per target, no matter how many times the button is spammed.
It will then prioritize Insect Swarm over everything else, and recast every 18 seconds.
Moonfire is the next highest priority spell, firing every 12 seconds.
After that, it will randomly cast between Starfire and Wrath, with Wrath firing 2/3rds of the time.
I personally spam at 2 clicks per second, so have two comma's per second of delay in IS and MF.

Master:
#show Wrath
/Click MultiBarBottomRightButton1
/Click MultiBarBottomRightButton2
/Click MultiBarBottomRightButton3
/Click MultiBarBottomRightButton4

Button 1
#show
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=target Faerie Fire,Null

Button 2
#show
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=target Insect Swarm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Button 3
#show
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=target Moonfire,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Button 4
#show
/castrandom Wrath, Wrath, Starfire




As long as I spam at my normal speed of two clicks per second, the spells will fire off on the correct timing.
Since wow executes top down, if two spells in a macro are both possible, the first fires off and the second fails due to the GCD.
Once the first spell is on Null (do nothing) or a comma (do nothing this press), the second spell can execute.

It's not worth coming back. If I were you I would wait until the expansion. I dont think thats going to get me back though.

I was actually using a technique not unlike the /click setup before I left and the only castrandom macro I remember having was my druid (/castrandom starfire, wrath) - I disliked the /castrandom on my paladin because I couldn't completely control what abilities went off when, so I opted for a /click scenario instead. Ironically the changes to castrandom haven't affected my setup at all, so that's pretty nice

I guess if it's worth it is a subjective thing - I did like SSO back in the days (argent tournament sounds good), and ToC + finishing up my heroic dungeon achievement could probably keep my busy for a while, so I guess I'm back in the game - at least for now.
