Totem sequences

[Xzin]

Don't you want to stagger grounding totems, tremors etc?

Boom, that is what I do - layout on screen that dynamically changes upon modifier keys held down. I never look at my keys either as they are arranged logically around a "home" position.

I don't stagger grounding totems, personally. With the totem farm that i have already, it's plenty hard for people to find all 4 grounding totems. With a 15 second cooldown, I want them up for as long as possible.

As for Tremor, as long as I spread them out (spread out macro, then press tremor), I've had no problems breaking fear. I think castsequencing them is a waste of GCD's and will give me joint problems in my fingers.

[Boom]

1st press: 2x grounding, 2x tremor
2nd press: +2x gounding, +2x tremor

So you're at least a little staggered on the "ticks". And keep your grounding button as well, for when you need to drop more.

I dig this Furs. I would assume there are several groups that could benefit from this type of "toon" staggering in PvP.

Lets who know what totems stack ETC.

You dont need totem, you kill everything one shot. :P Well at least I do.

Suggestion: Put it down on paper, knwo what totem stacks and what doesnt. For instances, just know your encounters and what you need, I dont use castsequence for instances because I want to change stuff too much. I use F G C V for my totems on all of em. But for pvp, I'll use cast sequence.

Mix around the sequence between the characters so it is staggered.

PvP macro

/castsequence reset=15 Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem, Poison Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem

I have a PvP castsequence macro and a PvE one.

As an example: First wave of PvP macro is 4 Grounding Totems and 1 Tremor totem, since those are my top priority in PvP.

I also have some totems bound to buttons for when I want all five to drop a particular totem. Examples would be Magma Totem, Fire Nova Totem and Grounding Totem.

I have a pvp and pve castsequence for my 4 elements... Then I all cast stoneskin, magma, wrath, and fire nova.

I've been mulling this over some, and I think I'm going to try something like what Vyn does except stagger the elements/totems so that I get the timer benefits.

Basically, for a given setup, I'll have 4 button presses, and they'll trigger a variety of totems.

Button 1: 1-Poison Cleansing, 2-Tremor, 3-Grounding, 4-Searing
Button 2: 1-Earthbind, 2-Grounding, 3-Tremor, 4-Healing Stream
Button 3: 1-Wrath of Air, 2-Healing Stream, 3-Healing Stream, 4-Grounding
Button 4: 1-Searing, 2-Searing, 3-Searing, 4-Tremor

Instead of doing an element per key, I will just map the icons on each character to their assigned Button X responsibility. Get some of the benefits of the castsequence macro without the reset problems, perhaps?

This is a PvP loadout, obviously, and I'd have separate Fire Nova/Grounding All-at-Once type totem keys too.
