Utilizing /click to run concurrent castsequences

[Talamarr]

//Macro3 - High Cooldown
/castrandom exorcism, cleanse, hammer of wrath, Avenging wrath, Avenger's Shield,,,,,

Question, why do you have extra commas at the end there? If it' a /castrandom, why are those needed?

Question, why do you have extra commas at the end there? If it' a /castrandom, why are those needed?

Contrary to popular belief, /castrandom doesn't automatically pass spells on cooldown. Without the additional commas, the macro would continually try to fire off on all of the long cool down abilities, which means they would all fire really fast, and the 9/6/9 button would never get to cast. The commas are in there as a necesity to make sure my main tanking abilities get passed about 50% of the time. (I have 5 spells in there, and 5 blank spots, so each ability has a 10% chance to fire at each GCD, with 50% of the button pushes being passed to 9/6/9.

Here is a leet shaman setup.

== Macro 1 ==
/click MultiBarLeftButton7
/click MultiBarLeftButton8
/click MultiBarLeftButton9

== Macro 2 == -- Reset = Target is annoying on trash may want to change reset=combat or reset=combat/alt if you want to just hold alt to reset your macro.
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=target Flame Shock,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

== Macro 3 == -- Reset = Target is annoying on trash may want to change reset=combat or reset=combat/alt if you want to just hold alt to reset your macro.
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=target Lava Burst,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

== Macro 4 ==

/assist focus
/castsequence reset=target Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Chain lightning, lightning boLT
/cast Lightning Bolt

Update: After testing I changed macro 4 to be /cast Lightning Bolt... out dpses Chain Lightning (unless there are multiple mobs) You could have a 2nd click macro like this:

/click MultiBarLeftButton7
/click MultiBarLeftButton8
/click MultiBarLeftButton10 Button 10 has the /castsequence reset=target Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Chain lightning Macro for multiple mobs.

Ok, I ran my hunters with this setup tonight and I have to say, I love you guys. I gained a huge DPS boost over the other setups I've tried. I'm actually seeing the kind of DPS I'd expect to see if I was soloing a hunter. I'm thrilled. My shots go off when they're supposed to, I don't miss things that are off cooldown, I don't waste time and mana redoing things that don't need to be refreshed and I don't forget to cast things that have long cooldowns. This seriously rocks. Thank you for posting this.

If you don't mind, could you post your hunter macros? I also have a BM hunter and curious as to what you use.

Thanks

My hunters all have slightly different Marksman specs, so they are all a little different. This is my most "complex" one.

So, are you spamming your main button or trying to hit it in a certain rhythm as alluded to by the OP? If its the latter, this would never work for me. I'm a button mashing fool.

Contrary to popular belief, /castrandom doesn't automatically pass spells on cooldown.

That needs to be sticky at the top of the forum, cause its true.


Ok its looks to work, but only if you press the key at spicific intervals, if you KNOW you can press a key say eactly every .5 seconds then you can also write a /castsequence to do the same thing. It works because of the assumption you know the speed at which you press the keys.

By spamming 1, the macro will play out as follows: Insect Swarm is cast, Moonfire is cast, wrath, wrath, wrath, etc until the 12 seconds it take for moonfire's artificial cooldown to expire is up, at which point it is cast again. A few more wraths will fire off until the 18 second mark hits, at which point Insect Swarm will be reapplied. This will continue for as long as you have mana and a target.

Asssuming just for sake of argumet that Wrath has a 2 second cooldown and is an instant spell, and assume you press the key every 2 seconds:

You could do: /castsequence Moonfire, Insect Swarm, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Warth, Moonfire, Wrath, Wrath, Insect Swarm, Wrath, Wrath

His is a touch more efficient but ...

Sure, if you don't mind watching your DPS take a nose dive because of castsequence lag.

You use castsequence in many of your macros also ...
