Refreshing Dots

[Owltoid]

It's a bit hard to follow, but I think this thread describes the castsequence only reseting on idle time being a pre-2.3 issue.

Castsequence reset times

[olipcs]

Since 2.3 the way that the cassequence reset has changed. Before 2.3 it was how long without a key press before the macro reset to the beginning. Now the macro will reset after that time regardless of its activity

can't test this, because I'm also at work (pst, don't tell), but I realy doubt it, because a change that would be that big (it would mean the 'holy grail' for every DoT Class, becasue if true I could make the follwoing makro for a druid:

/castsequence reset=18 Moonfire,Null
/castsequence reset=12 Insectswarm,Null
/cast Wrath

which would apply all my Moonfire after 18-seconds, Insectswarm after 12 and otherwise cast wrath.. ..this would be tooo good to be true ;)

It is too good to be true.

I can confirm that it is x time idle. Using the macro I posted above, hit once, casts SoW, any further presses send it to HoW with errors "You have no Target" or "Invalid target". 30 seconds after the last keypress, it resets to SoW.

Spamming it casts SoW on the first press and spams me with errors for HoW. 2.5 minutes of spamming {30 seconds longer than the duration of SoW} and no reset. 30 seconds after I stopped spamming, SoW finally lit up again.

If you are talking about a "smart" spam macro that refreshes DoTs and cast direct spells between recast times, it can be done, but it involves multiple macros and utilizing /click funtionality. I think I'll go post how to do it in another thread.

Looks like I was very wrong, thank you for testing this!
