DoRandomToggle in Hotkeynet and wow

This.

With WoW's old /castrandom you got a spell off with every single keypress. If you had 5 spells and 4 were on CD you had a 100% chance of casting the 5th spell on the next keypress. To get this same result, you would have to hit every spell button at the same time. However, you could use "Dorandomhotkey" for 40 seconds of pressing and still never get that 5th spell to be clicked (the odds of that are small, but long enough to be relevant). The more abilities you tried to map this way the worse it would get. In the end you would be better off taping pennies to your num-pad and one press = 10

This is not how /castrandom in WoW used to work. Even if 4 out of the 5 spells were on cooldown, castrandom would still attempt to cast them. It would not stall on them like it does now.

It was used because if you were spamming the macro fast enough, you're basically sure to get off a spell in a good amount of time. Sure, there is a small chance of always hitting the spells on cooldown, but in practice that doesn't happen.

to clarify, /castrandom would choose a random spell or ability from the list specific, then try to cast that, and that's it, if the cast fails, castrandom is already out and not doing anything

rapid successions on castrandom would eventually hit the spell that's off CD but like it has been said, it could take a few hits before reaching the one that just came out of CD

I played with five death knights and each had a castrandom with ALL of their abilities that I could use, and PvP was as simple as pressing 1 (Death's Grip round-robin) and then spamming 2 (castrandom) which would simply DEVASTATE the opponent with all kinds of unholy deadly things going at them

I've been using DoRandomToggle but it's not too useful if you want high DPS, because many times for an example my Aimed Shot is off CD and not being used for half the time of its cooldown (4 seconds out of 8 with the glyph) because of global cooldown and Steady Shot

what I would recommend is to be on the safe side, and also to get this http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga/
