3.2 rocks my world!

After that initial hickup with the /castrandom nerf

I find it retarded that people use a cast random. Its easy to setup a maxx dps cast sequence for most classes, especially shamans. Why go lazy with a cast random when you can have more dps and more control about what your dps does. Its not hard to watch cooldowns on spells and figure a sequence.

Well I find it retarded that people go flaming for no reason whatsoever when others are just trying to have a nice, casual, drama-free discussion. Guess thats what happens when almost anyone can access the internet nowadays.

I believe that due to the cooldown on the shaman spells, spamming a /castrandom macro was able to provide considerable DPS. If a spell wasn't available, you'd just fire off the next one. No worries about timing or sequences. That may be why Blizzard changed it, it made mindless button spamming effective enough to make castrandom macros attractive.

But before the change, it made for a very efficient DPS macro. Hit the button as fast as you can and your shaman would crank out very good DPS.

I used it for the DPS AND for adding things like purge, if a mob needed to be purged, the /castrandom did it, if not it just DPSd. For my paly and for Hunters, the timers come up for abilities at odd intervals, so cast random let you add Divine plea.. hammer of wrath, ect. I still miss it( for my hunter and paly), but /click has gained me more DPS on my shamans than i ever got with /castrandom 8)

I din`t flame anyone. Good luck trying to make it into a flame post.

Still. Shamans have a very easy "perfect" castsequence. I personally would never stray from it.

And about 3.2.
I find it shit on one hand and good on the other.

It`s great for us boxers since we can get the easy gear. It sucks bad now that everybody runs around in the same gear in a few weeks. Even retards.

If I was a single boxer who was in the game for the raiding part I would cancel my subscription.

Could someone, once and for all, explain why this is a problem? I've seen this everywhere and it's presented like the reason should be self-evident. I can understand that it's true, people really feel this way, but it sounds incredibly weird. Do you play the game for these fake rewards in and of themselves, or for fun? What is the point of those fake rewards except to go have fun in a slightly harder dungeon? Is the gear a token of having had fun? Should fun be hard to achieve? If someone popped up who was getting annoyed that WoW seemed too much like work, what are the chances that this person would also be annoyed that epic gear was now easier to obtain?

I think it's only a problem for people who think everything is retarded and everyone is a retard.

Mind posting this "perfect" castsequence in the macro thread for Elemental Shaman? (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=23183)

I must be retarded, since I can't figure out a single castsequence that maxes dps and is heroism-proof.

I find it retarded that people dont undersatnd not everyone has >100ms latency and castrandom was far superior to cast sequences, I also find it retarded when people think that only their opinion is the right one for all circumstances regardless of their knowledge.

Now then as for 3.2 its awesome, my pally who Mt's for my guild was allready pretty well geared and now my "followers" can catch up before the next expansion and not be terribly behind trying to catch up if they are needed to sub in for raid spots.

I find it retarded that people can come on to the forums and make sweeping statements like this, basically implying anyone who doesn't use your method is a retard.

FYI - prior to /click, castrandom spells put out better DPS that castsequence in some situations, mostly for people playing from higher latency locations (e.g. Oceaninc), becuase of the way castsequence works, i.e. client waits for confimation that the spell has been cast before sending the request to cast the next spell in the sequence, effectively giving you a double latency bewteen casts.

This isnt the WoW forums so check the Bnet kiddie attitude at the door thanks.
