Anyone tried Sunfire now?

[naPS]

I know we weren't supposed to take this talent because the ability was broken in macros. Did 4.0.6 fix it, does anyone know? I haven't had time to test it in-game myself.

[deez]

It hasn't been fixed. You can always put a /click WhicheverActionButtonYouPutItOn with your spam macro, but it has the tendency to cast several moonfire/sunfire's in row.

If you have all the desired spells on keybinds within warcraft.
You could have an IS Boxer mapped key that would do each in order, as a step.

You could set steps to not advance for x.x seconds, and tweak it until that worked.
So you would spam the one key (hotkey for the mapped key), and have it press the desired spell (via sending wow the correct keybind).
Then include a reset to step 1, after x.x seconds from the last press... which would duplicate a reset=x in a warcraft macro.

Even if you cannot macro it properly within the Wow macro system, you could macro it fine with IS Boxer.

Not sure what order of spells you would want...

[naPS]

Yeah, it would basically be the balance druid cast sequence macro, which doesn't have a reset. So it wouldn't be all that complicated to do, it would just be a gigantic pain in the ass.

Actually, been messing around with this a bit, and it's not as simple as making a bunch of steps - the length of the casts changes dramatically between spells, and even moreso during heroism and other innate druid proc's. /castsequence is really the only way to account for this.

I'm playing around with this too.

Have not tested the individual pieces.
So this is purely theoretical so far.

Could theoretically have either a two-step toggle, to enable/disable replace one Spam-Key with the other, giving them the same hotkey.
Or even another mapped key, either with Steps (number of presses) or Do Not Advance for "x.x" seconds (time interval) that will enable/disable one Spam Key, replacing it with the other (putting both on the same key).


Mapped Keys
Spam Key: 1
-- Hotkey: "1"
-- Step 1
---- Do Mapped Key > FTL Target Me > Current Window
---- Do Mapped Key > Boomkin_Dots > All Windows
---- Do Mapped Key > Boomkin_Wrath > All Windows

Spam Key: 2
-- Hotkey: "2"
-- Step 1
---- Do Mapped Key > FTL Target Me > Current Window
---- Do Mapped Key > Boomkin_Dots > All Windows
---- Do Mapped Key > Boomkin_Starfire > All Windows

Boomkin_Dots
-- Reset to Step 1, 18.0 seconds after first press.
-- Step 1
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Insect Swarm.
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds.
-- Step 2
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Moonfire.
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds.
-- Step 3
---- Do Not Advance for 30.0 seconds.

Boomkin_Wrath
-- Step 1
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Wrath
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds
-- Step 2
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Starsurge
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds

Boomkin_Starfire
-- Step 1
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Starfire
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds
-- Step 2
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Starsurge
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds

Boomkin_Wrath
-- Step 1
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Wrath
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds
-- Step 2
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Starsurge
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds

Boomkin_Starfire
-- Step 1
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Starfire
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds
-- Step 2
---- Keystroke Action > Warcraft Keybind for Starsurge
---- Do Not Advance for 1.5 seconds

These can be simplified to:

#show Wrath
/castsequence Wrath, Wrath
/cast Starsurge

#show Starfire
/castsequence Starfire, Starfire
/cast Starsurge

The Boomkin_Dots works perfectly on its own, but sometimes misses an IS or MF when it is called by another mapped key.

Tried modifying it:
- Step 1 IS
- Step 2 MF
- Step 3 Warcraft-Keybind Wrath or Starfire
- Step 4 Reset to Step





The best I've got so far is three keys...
The first two are essentially the same as Mercurio's two-step macro.
Except that the cast time spells are managed, and not the dots.

The Dot mapped key can be spammed or selectively pressed.
It will always reset to Insect Swarm, when the spell has expired.
In the case of spamming it, we full advantage of Lunar Shower -- granted that's more important for PvP than PvE play; the movement is Strafe Left and Strafe Right.
That will break follow, but against target dummies, Moonfire requires me to face the target so probably wouldn't be kiting and using Moonfire.


Wrath
Step 1
- Wrath Keybind
Step 2
- Starsurge Keybind

Starfire
Step 1
- Starfire Keybind
Step 2
- Starsurge Keybind

Dots
Hotkey: 3
Reset to Step 1, after 18.0 seconds from first press.
Hold Actions while Key is Held.
Step 1
- FTL Assist Me, Current Window
- Warcraft Keybind > Insect Swarm, All Windows
- Warcraft Keybind > Q, All Windows
- Do Not Advance for 1.50 seconds
Step 2
- FTL Assist Me, Current Window
- Warcraft Keybind > Moonfire, All Windows
- Warcraft Keybind > E, All Windows
- Do Not Advance for 1.50 seconds
Step 3
- FTL Assist Me, Current Window
- Warcraft Keybind > Moonfire, All Windows
- Warcraft Keybind > Q, All Windows
Step 4
- FTL Assist Me, Current Window
- Warcraft Keybind > Moonfire, All Windows
- Warcraft Keybind > E, All Windows

Only the first two steps are set to not advance for a timer, to ensure Insect Swarm gets to fire off, if I am spamming.
The do not advance, on the first Moonfire, is so the toons strafe an equal distance Left and Right.
After that, I don't mind if the mapped key advances or not.
My Step 3 and Step 4 repeat, through Step 15/16; that's enough steps that even spammed the mapped key does not run out of Steps until it resets to Step 1 after 18.0 seconds.
