DK+3xRet and Healer Partner

[Multibocks]

Talos how are you automatically healing your tank with flash of light? I basically use a castsequence for my rets, are you using a /click to get the tank targetted for the heal?

I re-read my post and realized I wasn't terribly clear...


For PvE, I plan on running DK+4xRets. Enough people have proven that it's capable, so I'm not worried about this.

My DK+3xRet with Healer Partner inquiry was mostly related to 5v5 Arena...

Sorry for the confusion!

1 less ret. Your burst suffers. I think you might have problem killing people. With that said, if you run with a offensive healer (disc priest, shaman). Then I think it will work. Defensive healer won't work IMO. pally healer (no way). druid (probably not, cyclone is good, but no purge).

I tried this briefly with a druid. dk + 3 paladins + 1 druid. My druid healer got zerged while I was just boucing around in CCs. I am not very geared, but it showed a trend. People are all running around with 30k hp nowadays. No purge, no heailng debuff, no bloodlust, you are not killing anyone.

Overall, adding 1 healer didn't improve my survial much since he is zerged first. And my chances of killing someone drops a nouch due to 1 less dps.

Ill explain my setup a bit more in detail.
Im using bartender so the syntaxes are different if you use another bar mod.
Im not ingame now so dont mind the spelling:

First off the buttons that are used:
Macro1: /castsequence Crusader Strike,,,,,,,, (enough comma's to reset on cooldown depending on your keymashing speed, check the wiki for information about clickmacro's if you are new to this)
Macro2: /castsequence Judgement of Light/Wisdom/the3rd one,,,,,,,,,,,,
Macro3: /castsequence Divine Storm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Macro4: /cast Excorcism
Macro5 /cast [target=player] Flash of Light
Macro6 /cast [target="Nameoftank"] Flash of Light


3 click macros as mentioned in my first post
clickmacro one: This one casts excorcism on the target
/click "Macrobutton 1"
/click "Macrobutton 2"
/click "Macrobutton 3"
/click "Macrobutton 4" <- excorcism
/stopcasting (this prevents casting when Art of War isnt procced)

clickmacro two: This one casts Instant Flash of Light on themselfs during massive AoE
/click "Macrobutton 1"
/click "Macrobutton 2"
/click "Macrobutton 3"
/click "Macrobutton 5" <- FoL on themself
/stopcasting (this prevents casting when Art of War isnt procced)

clickmacro three: This one casts Instant Flash of Light on the tank when tank is taking a beating
/click "Macrobutton 1"
/click "Macrobutton 2"
/click "Macrobutton 3"
/click "Macrobutton 6" <- FoL on Tank macro
/stopcasting (this prevents casting when Art of War isnt procced)

These 3 macros i have on button 2, 3 and 4.
On my tank i have the same tank macro bound to 2, 3 and 4.
No matter which button i press the macros on Macrobutton 1,2 and 3 go on as usual and resetting after the proper,,,,
The only thing changing is what they do after those.

When i'm in need of some real healing withouth stopcasting interfering i press my button 1 key which only has tank macro on the tank and Nothing on the Rets, this allows me to Click on my Grid addon (wih ISBoxer relaying mouseclicks to the rets and not the tank) to heal withouth /stopcasting interfering.

Hope that clears a bit more up.
If you got more questions let me know.
