Would you guys recommend using castsequence or castrandom macros? I've tried both and personally I prefer castrandom. Just wondered what you guys think?
One thing I have found is that when I spam my macro, once there is a cool down, my slaves will just stand there and not auto attack. Suggestions? (I've already added a /startattack at the beginning of the macro).
Let see lets see..... I prefer the:
/startattack
/castsequence reset-target Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Pestilence, Howling Blast, Blood Strike, Etc...

Now, I am using Jamba, and the Strobe follow command, so they will attack and follow, they won't stop till I make them stop. If you use:
/startattack
/follow
/castrandom reset=target blah, blah blah, blah... You get the picture
/follow
Then you will have to spam the attack to get them to follow you, and the second they hit the target, they stop following you so now you have to spam it just to get them to follow...
/castrandom is fine, but, say you did Howling Blast, Icy Touch,Plague strike, pestilence... Your Howling Blast just did crap for DPS because it went first.

In the correct order, when mine hits, and it crits often, it's now hitting for 3K to 3.3K *5...

Others have found that having each attack in their separate hotkey is not better than /cast, but more control and or they are just used to that sort of way.
Also, some have stated that their DPS drops because of castsequence, or castrandom... I don't see a difference in my string of attacks.
I did a test dummy attack last night on the same level dummy 75, and I was peaking at 1500DPS (of course, I was hitting 3 mobs) but then again, its not that far off hitting a single target.
