Shaman macros

[suicidesspyder]

Ok can any one link me to where the big discussion was with spell rotation macros for a shaman. I remember reading it but never wrote in it. Now with my dps only sitting at 3k with bis on ptr i know somethings wrong. Thanks.

Spyder,

Two places you can find it: In the Macros Forum, under Macro Compendium, or in the Wiki. Khatovar's Shaman macros are in both places. Hope this helps.

I believe the post is gone (don't ask). However, the result of the discussion should be represented in the Macro Compendium sticky.

You can google search cached pages - search for "site:dual-boxing.com elemental shaman dps macro post 3.2"

I just regemmed my guy not worrying about socket bonus so now shammy is at almost 2800 sp unbuffed little over 3400 self buffed. Now hes hitting 5k dps solo so with other class make ups and buffs ill be hitting alot higher. Plus changed my macro around a little.

This is the macro I use:

/use 13
/use 14
/cast Elemental Mastery
/cast Blood Fury(Racial)
/castsequence reset=combat Flame Shock,Lava Burst,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt
/cast Chain Lightning

I get around 2.6 to 4k with this one depending on the fight. However my shamans only have 2k spellpower selfbuffed.

Mind me asking what macro you were using?

I was just using a fs,lvb, lb, lb, lb, cl then starting over. Now im using a fs, lvb, lb,lb,lb, lvb, cl,lb,lb, lvb, lb,lb,lb,lb.fs,lvb.

With using major glyphs totem of wrath lava burst and flame shock. Gemming everything for pure spell power. I saw about 500-700 more dps increase solo with self buffs. So wonder in a raid what i would do now.

fs, lvb, lb,lb,lb, lvb, cl,lb,lb, lvb, lb,lb,lb,lb.fs,lvb..

3 LBs after LvB? is your cast time 2.66s?
Also cl after LVB is bad idea, since its instant it will hit the boss before you will gain CC from lvb, meaning it will cost full amount of mana, always do lb after lvb

I run around doing most things in PvP gear so I don't have much in the way of haste.

Both CL and LB have a cast time that is long enough when you lack haste to allow for the travel of LvB. The time you spend casting is plenty of time for the CC to proc and be used. Another thing is there is no advantage since CC reduction is applied on next spell cast not spell hit. I always place CL after LvB and haven't had problems with CC at all...again this is with little to no haste.

Watch and learn, made this just for you. Next time before You spread false information, test it for Yourself first.

lvb hits, but look cl actually hits before lvb, and i end up with 2 cc buffs, none used.

I am trying to perfect a dps macro for my resto shaman. He isn't dual spec but I want him to spam dps and heal when needed. I'll post it if anyone cares and I get it sorted. He just did 608 dps in H-UK, lol. So it needs work.
