Ultimate IWIN button finally perfected (Elemental Shaman EM+Trink+FS+LvB)

line 2:(*** = insert your assist system)

What does this mean? I've tried /assist focus, even /assist name - doesn't work.

[Reglar]

If you want to use a focus based assist system, I believe the command is:

/assist [target=focus]

If you just want to assist a person, they must be in your party or raid, and its:

/assist toonname

If you are using a Follow The Leader or Focus-less/Target-less system, you'd insert the assist line there.

[Reglar]

Neither gladius nor focus.

Ya they are "default" commands, altho I suspect you may need to leave blizz arena frames enabled for them to work... maybe not but I'm guessing the "target=arena1" calls upon blizz arena frames... havent tried turning them off I should do that.

They basically are default macro commands that fit in the "target variable" position of the macro. Use them the same as any other /target XXX or [target=XXX] type call. Options are: arena1, arena2, arena3, arena4, arena5.

Who knows, maybe theres some use for /assist arena1 that I haven't thought of yet. Theres prolly some other way to use this, I'll think of it :P

Just a note that arena1..arena5 are valid unitids that don't require using Blizz's UI.

If you're curious, all the unitids are documented at: http://www.wowwiki.com/UnitId

I suspected as much. Turned off my blizz frames this week. Thanks for the info!

UPDATED AGAIN - MORE OF MY SECRETS!!

You guys are gonna absolutely love this one. I have been using it since 3.2 came out... and it works flawlessly.

Wind Shear huh? could be useful...

My offensive casting in arena consists mostly of the following kill combos(not in any order): EM+FS+LvB, FS+LvB, LB+CL+FrS, Nova+CL+TSx4. These are all capable of killing any target (except destros of course, who require about 60k damage to kill). So the first spell cast is either FlameShock, LB, or CL.. pretty simple.

Soooo, everyone was talking about how to best use wind shear in boxed 5v5... and I believe I've found it lol.

At the beginning of my shamans LB, CL, and Flameshock (both the EM kill button... and normal FS+LvB - I have 2), there is a Wind Shear macro'd to go off first.... except...... its split across 4 targets with the above mentioned [target=arena1] targeting system.

In short - every 6 seconds, 4 different toons on the enemy team get spell interrupted... and it requires absolutely zero thought or attention on my part lol.

I can't tell you how funny it is against caster teams when they rush, and 3-4 people get hit with a little green animation... interrupted... and start backpedaling wondering what the hell just hit them, meanwhile I've launched 8-12 spells at them already.

EXAMPLE

Shaman 1:
/cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead,harm] wind shear
/cast lightning bolt

Shaman 2:
/cast [target=arena2,exists,nodead,harm] wind shear
<assist system here>
/cast lightning bolt

etc etc.

(Updated on initial post)


Sticky Worthy yet?? :P Maybe call it arena macro magic.

Will it get stuck on the first cast if wind shear is on cooldown?

does it?
If it doesent im gonna sooo use this. But how is the mana efficency on it? and how does it work if the mob is out of range of the shock but not the LB?

It doesn't get stuck by anything (out of range, on cooldown, facing wrong way etc). I've been using it for about a month now and I've never had a LB or CL stall. Probably cause it's two different /cast calls... instead of a castsequence. I was worried about mana efficiency in the beginning too... and to be honest the difference isn't very noticable. Season6 I would drink once in a while... feels about the same now. Its hax

What does this mean? I've tried /assist focus, even /assist name - doesn't work.

It means that's where your assist system goes. When focus for the macro hasn't been declared yet, it will rely on good old /assist system targeting to pick a target - just like any other multiboxed spellcast..
Different types of Follow/Assist control setups, and corresponding macro example:

Group leader setup (/assist party1),
Specific toon leader setup (/assist Frank),
FTL system (/assist [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift] Toon1; [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift] Toon2; [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt] Toon3)
Focus Leader System: (/assist focus)

If you are using a focus leader setup... then half this thread will be unusable to you(focus needs to be available for targeting), and for arena purposes I would recommend going group leader or specific toon leader before using focus leader. If you are confused what I'm talking about, then this thread is honestly over your head and you need to read more on introductory multiboxing setup.

Hope this helps.

Anyone know if I could add the windshear part if I use a /cast sequence macro for my main nuke with the /click method?

IE:
cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead,harm] wind shear
/castsequence flame shock reset=8 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


???

My other ones are fine because its a normal /cast macro but for my main nuke I use the /click method from the PVE threads in PVP still

[asonimie]

I would think the wind shear could go just about anywhere, as it's free to use whenever since it is off the GCD.

I'm not terribly familiar with how you're using /click, but maybe this will help.
You can add target specifications to a /castsequence just like you can add to a /cast macro.

example(my clones entire EM+LvB macro):

#showtooltip elemental mastery
/assist [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift] Taj; [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift] Maj; [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt] Haj
/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead][] furious gladiator's mail gauntlets
/cast [target=arena3] wind shear
/cast elemental mastery
/castsequence [target=focus,exists,nodead][] reset=8 flame shock,lava burst,chain lightning

as you can see, you can add targeting information to a /castsequence as well... hopefully that will help as well.
