Frostfire macros?

[Vicker]

I am probably the laziest, sloppiest multiboxer to frequent these forums. In all likelihood I'm the last person who should give anyone any kind of advice on multiboxing. Also my mages are only 74th (one frost for replenishment and blizzards, the other I just spec'd fire to see if I could up her dps.)

But I just want to make sure you're aware of the Improved Scorch glyph...that automatically makes every Scorch apply 5 applications of Improved Scorch (Glyph of Improved Scorch). I just have scorch periodically in my cast sequence one time then.

But if there's a reason that's a bad idea, I'm here to learn heh.

The scorch glyph is a major glyph. If you want to maximize your dps, the best three glyphs to be using are the glyphs for frostfire bolt, molten armor, and living bomb. You could give up one of those for the scorch glyph, but you will be losing dps. It is an acceptable loss if you are unable to maintain the scorch debuff without using the glyph, but if you are able to macro appropriately the debuff shouldn't be falling off.

The way my macro works is that if you change targets and then return to your original target, the first spell that you cast will be one scorch to refresh the stack.

You know the "official" way to stop a macro line from casting further? Use "Null," I learned that the other day =)

I don't know if that's really "official"... I think Null is just a nicer sounding word that isn't the name of a spell. =P


I should add one more thing about my macro. It is an excellent macro for boss fights and those really big trash mobs that last for more than 30 seconds, but it's not quite as good for smaller trash. For smaller trash, you don't need to worry about the scorch debuff. A similar macro for small trash would look something like this:

/castsequence [combat,exists,harm,nodead] reset=1,target ,frostfire bolt
/cast living bomb

This macro will refresh living bomb when needed while spamming frostfire bolt.
