Toon Tweaking Boomkin DPS help!

[Ualaa]

Well you can swap bars manually if you like.
With one boomkin, while a pain to always track, its not that bad.

You have two buttons for DPS, one is Wrath fall-through the other is Starfire fall-through.
Your tank and other dps have both of their click spam buttons on both keys.
If you see a proc of Eclipse, move from the one button to the other.

The problem with multiple boomkin, is that the procs won't be in sync with each other.
With one boomkin, you need two buttons.
With two boomkin, you have four combinations.
- Wr, Wr
- Wr, Sf
- Sf, Wr
- Sf, Sf
So you now need four buttons.

With three boomkin, you have eight combinations, so need 8 buttons just for your team to DPS.
And you need to track each state, and pick the correct button to mash.
Trash will die fast, so you'll be plain old Wrath on all toons.
But bosses who might last 90 seconds will force you to push the correct button or sacrifice your DPS.

Taken to an extreme.. an all Boomkin team, no tank, trying to burst things down.
Or maybe 4x Boomkin and 1x Resto.
With IS Boxer (or HKN, etc) have a mapped key for 1 = Wrath, another for 1 = Starfire.
And then 1 toggle per druid.
Mash away on 1, for every character.... note, a single button for the whole team to dps with at all times, not 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32.
And then as Eclipse procs occur, your program announces Shift F1, Shift F2, Shift F3, Shift F4 or Shift F5, depending on the number of boomkin in your squad... only one button per boomkin to track, and only push it as your addon announces a proc, with the button to push as the message (instead of Eclipse as the message).
You press the hotkey as it is announced (not caring which state you are in/going to, just that you are changing to the other, as that boomkin gets an Eclipse proc)... and continue to spam your "1" key.

That is probably the ideal way to manage Eclipse.
The fewest buttons to mash and keep track of.
The easiest to be on the correct Wrath/Starfire state for multiple druids.



Honestly, I went with a simpler method.
Reset=Target (only dots are on timers).
Click based sequence, with commas for timing.
IS, as the 1st cast and recast whenever it finishes.
MF, as the 2nd cast, also recast as it ends, lower priority to IS.
And the fall through (only when IS/MF are not being cast/recast):
/castsequence Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire

Which gets me, strings of Wrath casts, then strings of Starfire casts.
In theory, 80% of the time the Starfire casts will have Eclipse benefit.
Unfortunately, I'll sometimes cast Starfire without having had Eclipse proc.
And I'll sometimes proc Eclipse on the first Wrath, and waste 4-5 seconds of the boost on the wrong spell.
But there is nothing to manage, which is a huge benefit.
And the damage is far ahead of spamming just one spell or the other.
It is probably in the neighborhood of half way between proper management and ignoring Eclipse altogether.
