/cast [nochanneling] Mind Flay

Couple of notes here...

• Due to the filler effect of Mind Flay, I find that there are a whole lot of incomplete channeling of Mind Flay. If we include the [nochanneling] in the DoTs or Mind Blast, they will never get cast after the first passes. Since Mind Flay is channeling 100% after your first Mind Blast, the /castsequence wont follow through.
• Because of said issue, mana=0 quickly.
• If you spend some time to adapt the commas too your tap tap taping speed, youll have nearly 100% dot uptime and will usually use your Mind Blast CD within one second of it cooling.

Much love to the OP and those involved in smoothing this over.

if you have 3 Points in to Pain and Suffering you can modify this since you only need to put up SWP 1 time due the the 100% refresh of SWP with MF

I really like this type of Macro

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

can you put modifiers in the /click such as..

/click [modifier:shift] MultiBarLeftButton7
/click [modifier:alt] MultiBarLeftButton8
/click [modifier:ctrl] MultiBarLeftButton9

*EDIT 2* OH I Really like this Modifiers work. Now i can set up some nice lil potions when one of my alts need it or a quick healing pot for emergencies.. or a specific spell ... Very nice Dis multiboxin stuff so addicting ;P

that way could put dead macros or nothing on your alts and have a specific alt to perform a specific spell like say for example Earth shock... instead of having all the alts casting ES at the same time....
But then after the next patch will be a Mooht (cow shamans cheesey jokes ftw luv em) point as ES will no longer interupt casting

*EDIT 1* Oh the benefit being instead of three buttons would have one with a modifier to save me from having to memorize too many key bindings

• All Shocks now have a default range of 25 yards, up from 20 yards.
• Base health increased by approximately 7% to correct for shamans having lower health than other classes.
• Chain Heal: Jump distance increased by 25% to 12.5 yards. In addition, the amount of healing now decreases by 40% as it jumps to each new target, instead of 50%.
• Earth Shock: Redesigned. This spell no longer interrupts spell casting, but rather reduces melee attack speed by 10% for 8 seconds (exclusive with similar effects such as Thunder Clap).

[align=justify][*]Damn think i just hijacked this thread and going on tangent... eeep anyways Thought be some way to modify the nifty /click macro. ;P

So why doesn't this work:

"/click" macro:
  /click ActionButton1
  /click ActionButton2

Button1 macro:
  /castsequence Flame Shock,Lava Burst,Lava Burst

Button2 macro:
  /cast Lightning Bolt

What I'd expect is for the Button1 macro to fire if the next spell in the castsequence isn't on cooldown, otherwise it'd fall through to the Button2 macro instead. The intention is for Flame Shock to cast, followed by Lava Burst, and then Lightning Bolts to fill in until the Lava Burst cooldown has expired and the second one is ready.

I get Flame Shock, Lava Burst, one Lightning Bolt, and then nothing until Lava Burst has cooled down. Why isn't the Lightning Bolt firing more than once?

thats the same as putting them in the same macro, both are clicked at the same time and the first failed cast (/castsequence) blocks the rest of the macro from firing

that is why there are castsequences with "holes" in them in all the previous examples.

[Nepida]

The only reason that "/click" is used with multiple castsequences is to surpass the built in character limit. Personally I use bindpad so can have multiple large castsequences in one macro.

edit: It is also used for modularization I guess, but the main reason is the small character limit.

This is absolutely beautiful and I can't thank you enough!

I'm dualboxing druids, and before, one of my druids' DPS would always be off (they're currently level 36, not RAF'd, and leveling balance). Now they're almost identical unless I try to pick a fight without enough mana (oops).

Since they're still in the leveling process, I added another step to perfect the "root 'n' nuke" sequence.

Macro 1 (main only):

#showtooltip Entangling Roots
/castsequence reset=combat Entangling Roots,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Macro 2 (main and slave):

#showtooltip Insect Swarm
/castsequence reset=target ,,,Insect Swarm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Macro 3 (main and slave):

#showtooltip Moonfire
/castsequence reset=target ,,,,,,Moonfire,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Macro 4 (main and slave):

#showtooltip Wrath
/castsequence reset=target ,,,,,,,,,Starfire,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath

I have ER set to reset on combat instead of target because if I'm already in combat, and something's hitting me, I might as well just nuke it down instead of trying to root and reposition (though I do have ER bound separately in case that's needed).

I'm using Starfire because it's a bit more mana efficient, and at this particular level, having both my druids use that sequence usually drops the mob before I even finish casting the first Wrath.

The only change I made to the main "click" macro was to add a line to /target focustarget, since I was having trouble trying to use [target=focustarget] on my slave's macros. Basically, the macros above were set to reset on combat/target, and I had [target=focustarget] in the slave's macros, but the sequence wouldn't reset for the slave even though it targeted the main's target at the start of combat... any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated, as I'd like to keep my slave's target free.

Edited to add: I also used Macaroon for this, along with a macro to get the name of the frame I was moused over to get the exact button names.

I have gotten this to work and it has greatly inscreased my dps! However it doesn't seem to work with my mage ae spells. I made a macro for arcane explosion, then another for blast wave and frost instant AE( forgot the name of it). It appears like this click function only works when one spell with actual casting time in one of the macros is there to work. In this situation it just spams arcane explosion. Is there any recommendations? What I want it to do is drop either blast wave right before I drop frost instant AE/root then arcane explosion, to buy me a few extra seconds of AE damage while mobs aren't able to reach me. Any ideas?

[Ualaa]

Not sure which Frost spell you're refering to.
Cone of Cold is AoE snare, instant cast.
Frost Nova is the root spell.

If you'd post what your current macro looks like, it would help to understand why its not working and how it can be changed.
