Castrandom Change

[Taliesin]

I didn't get to really do anything last night either due to the server lagging to high hell, so I simply haven't been able to play with anything yet. I don't think I use /castrandom very much, since I never really liked it for anything except for just trying to reduce the chance something might cast by using a bunch of commas. I always preferred controlling my rotations more.

I suppose there's a chance that this change wasn't necessarily intended and may get set back in the near future if people complain enough about it. Doesn't seem to really make sense to pause the macro on a spell when it is specifically supposed to act randomly. *shrug*

/castrandom holy shield,
/castrandom x,y,z

this doesn't work anymore. It used ot have a 50% chance of making sure holy shield is up. per say it still makes sure holy shield is up except that it now has a 50% chance of locking up my macro.

I have ot rewrite everything on15+ toons, this change sux.

I started a thread on this yesterday. http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=23146

I had just logged in and was trying to do the Grand Melee with my alts assisting me like always. I noticed some of them not casting for long periods of time. I'm upset for the simple fact that with ALL the good changes that came in this patch. this cast random just turned what should have been an exciting day, into a big bummer and let down. My top geared guy was doing 3.1 k dps before the patch, and yesterday i was not able to get above 2500.

So I guess ill be learning /click

Wow that blows, I mean all my dps macro's are /castrandom based I really like them that way. Well looks like its either /click or /castsequence now.

Hopefully this is an unintended change and /castrandom will be set back to the way it used to work.

Yes, this is a bit of an annoyance. I believe it is an intended change as I was reading a post about it that was dated about a month ago.

Time to get creative.

Hmm need to figure out replacement /click version of warrior dps spam button.... ah well. Guess converting all my other classes over to /click a while back was a good idea. Honestly it's not too bad a conversion. 4 macros and some tweaking for haste and people should be good to go.

There are plenty of samples for most classes. I found the boomkin to be the tricky one trying to get insect swarm and ferrie applied but not over written to fast.

Bummer about /castrandom not being "random"...

Anyone could kindly link a thread or wiki tutorial on how to use "/click" ? and the examples offive is referring to ?

almost for real.

somebody try this:

/castrandom [target=focustarget] reset=1 spell1,spell2,etc

See if that fixes it. it seems that the reset is whats broken.

Old version: It was randomly choose a spell every time you push the button
New version: it randomly chooses a spell BEFORE you hit the button, and only randomly selects another after a successfull spell cast.

So the problem seems to be in the reset functionality. Normally you wouldn't use a reset in a castrandom.. but maybe this will fix it.

If this works I'll build a Fursphere shrine at home and worship it every day.
