Rets Arena Week Five

[Zappy]

I'm not sure I've seen an armory link posted to your characters, but I know you get "Glyph of Hungering Cold" which removes the runic power requirement:

[item=45800]Glyph of Hungering Cold[/item]

One thing I've done a little different on mine is skipping the end talent "Divine Storm" in favor of "Blessing of Sanctuary" for the paladin I've given the devotion talent to. Increased 10% stamina, 10% strength + 3% damage reduction seems nice.

Thinking a little more about the macros, maybe a better option is:

/cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead] Hammer of Justice
/cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead] Repentance

I think if the first one fails due to range, it'll at least try the second one.

It's gonna be sad day for me this week when they finally ding, as right now I'm destroying everything in BGs.

Zappy just as an FYI, the stamina and strength bonus from sanctuary doesn't stack with kings

Sorry but this is a bad idea, the stamina doesnt stack with kings and 3% damage reduction is no good when people are dying in globals.

oh my bad. Didn't notice the glyph there. Good call

/cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead] Hammer of Justice
/cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead] Repentance

wouldn't work though. In 1 macro, it will be stuck on Hammer of Justice at all time. It wouldn't try the 2nd skill. I think we can spare 2 keys for those 2 skills. They make retribution what it is after all.

Getting BOS means you can't get divine storm. So one of your paladins is out of sync.

I had this huge post pre-typed up with per-game analysis of what I did wrong. I did 10 games and while it was compiling I went and fixed some macros and keybinds and a few other small things. Then I went on a mad killing streak and went from 192 to somewhere just shy of 700. I can't believe the difference it made just dicking around with a few commas and such. It totally revitalized my interest in this team.

In any case, here are the links to video post. Comments are welcome but please be constructive. Anything you don't feel comfortable sharing in the open you can PM me--I promise I can keep whatever it is private Thanks in advance!

P.S. Video part four got corrupted during the upload. I'll get it posted before tomorrow.

^^Link to the movies section. Not sure if this is the best way to post these but I'd prefer to keep the discussion in the pvp forums since they're much more heavily trafficked.

Mosg, I watched your videos and I was wondering how often does your art of war proc on your paladins and do you use it immediatelly when it procs and only those paladins who have it proc-ed will use it or will all paladins start casting Flash?

AoW is basically always up. I'd say every 3-4 seconds on average. It's a lot of throughput for healing but hard to manage with everything else that's going on.

What I've got for CC macros are these two:

/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget1] Repentance,,,
/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget2] ,Repentance,,
/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget3] ,,Repentance,
/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget4] ,,,Repentance

/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget1] Hammer of Justice,,,
/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget2] ,Hammer of Justice,,
/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget3] ,,Hammer of Justice,
/castsequence reset=combat/8 [target=arenatarget4] ,,,Hammer of Justice

Of course each toon's macros start with a different amount of commas so that it goes in sequence. What this does is make it so I can spam the button and they'll all just cycle through. My cleanse is setup the same way and it works very well.

I really enjoy your videos and the latest ones are fantastic. 1080p very nice!

However, I cringe every time I see you mouse click, even your repeater for healing. Once you get that down to hotkeys and not having to take your eyes off the action to click you will see a huge difference.

[Mosg2]

I'm not sure there's a possible way to make healing macro-based given that you need 5 buttons for it. Open for suggestions.

[Kromtor]

5 buttons for healing, 5 buttons for cleansing
10 necessary buttons to get to 2200

[Mosg2]

I have absolutely no idea how to fit 10 buttons into my current arrangement without getting into shift and alt buttons. I can't imagine compressing the DK buttons into a /click. Hmmmm.
