I returned some equipment and tried some other stuff out and settled on my keyboard and mouse and I've got to tell you that things worked out *much* better with my guys as I got more and more familiar with my keybinds. I was raping face in BG's last night like I never had before.

Pro tip: Just use a /click macro for DPS with the Rets. It's just plain going to be more efficient than you can be. I saw immediate results. Plus it opened up tons of keybinds for other things that I needed. I think I may fraps some BG stuff but it's AV weekend and there aren't a lot of great opportunities in AV for good footage. It's usually a faceroll either way

What's your spell priority with that click macro?

[Mosg2]

Ack, I meant to post that in my Ret thread but oh well

Judgement, Divine Storm, Crusader Strike, Exorcism, Hammer. I also have Hammer bound to another key that I can hit easily so that I can force it to go off. I haven't had it mess with the sequence if I do that yet, so I think I'm safe.

The only problem I see with that sequence is what if Art of War doesn't proc? Your /click will get stuck on Exorcism because of it.

I run a lone ret pally solo so I know about all this and I'm rocking decent gear with around a 1500 rating so I am in decent pvp gear and I know that Art of War doesn't proc as much as you want it to.

I ran it for 3-4 minutes on all toons against the boss dummy in Stormwind and didn't have any problems. /shrug

/click doesnt get stuck
castsequence does

art of war procs a lot, exorcism on the other hand is on a 15 second cooldown

Well for pure laughs the 5 feral druids were a hoot. Very hard to get any real testing in wsg but thats all that is popping on the PTR, well some WG and world PVP in ironforge lol.

Very hard to get shred to go off so its alot of mangle spam but i did almost shoot beer out of my nose when i was getting overrun and i popped dire bear with berzerk and mangle spammed down a buncha hordies. I cant really see this being excellent in arena by yourself, but would be fun with a healer as the druids dont feel too squishy. Having feral charge helped alot for runners comboed with infected wounds.

The carebear tanks running around with 55k hp's were the biggest pain but you dont really see that too often. Frost mages were less a pain then on my rogues, i can shift in and out many times without concern for mana with ilotp and innervate if needed.

On live i have 5 druids already to 80 as boomkins with secondary spec as 3boom/resto/tank for heroics. I might try and gear em up abit for some BG fun as ferals while i decide if i wanna try and RAF some rogues or stick with my level 70 rets.

All in all i think IAWT has made for some fun diversions from the usual teams and has kinda rekindled my interest in wow.

Peace

lol cant get my damn /click to work using innerspace right now

---- Problem fixed with /click, (PICNIC) Problem in Chair, not in computer.


Although the timing seems a bit off, some spells dont seem to fire really as soon as they are coming back up. So im not sure if I need to spam faster or what I can do to alter this.

I tried using the /click macro from stealthys post. Its not as efficient as I would be at least on one toon in pvp thats for sure. Making me think I want to just use 6 keybinds for dps.

What you've got to keep in mind is that his /click macros are based off of HIS click speeds. The ratios of commas to each other is right where they should be--You need to decrease or increase each and keep them at the same relative proportions so that they match YOUR speed.

I sat and watched it on 4 toons for 15 minutes all together and there's no way I could be more efficient across four toons. Even on one toon I bet it would be ~95% as efficient as someone only playing one toon. Once I got the right amount of commas for my button mashing speed down it would click each ability in succession as soon as it came off of cooldown and never caught up. It totally frees me up to focus more on healing, cleansing, etc.

I should be getting my games in tomorrow night. I'm going to fraps them and post them up. No promises about the skill or gear level but at least there'll be videos
