Power Word; Shield Macro?

[Svpernova09]

I tried the macro in a raid last night, and it just wouldn't work, but the key to it working may be adding more commas as previously stated.

hmm,

in http://www.dual-boxing.com/showpost....4&postcount=30

/castsequence [target=party4]reset=5 ,,,,Rejuve,nil
/castsequence [target=party3]reset=5 ,,,Rejuve,nil
/castsequence [target=party3]reset=5 ,,Rejuve,nil
/castsequence [target=player]reset=5 ,Rejuve,nil
/castsequence [target=party1] Rejuve

I only see "will be" working and "should".

Tonight i "will be" testing it and post the results

I tried the above first thing this morning without the nil value and it works once I adjusted the commas with the one issue of it is not casting on the last toon, so I get 4 toons all with shield but it is not casting on the 5th, not sure why, but did not have enough time to really troubleshoot it.
I looked at the original thread which Ualaa listed and used the code at the end of it which is pretty much the code above without nil value.
I think I am close to getting it to work ,but not 100% there, btw this was working using click macro setup with the above issue.

/castsequence [@party4]reset=9 ,,,,,,,,Rejuvenation
/castsequence [@party3]reset=9 ,,,,,,Rejuvenation,nil
/castsequence [@party1]reset=9 ,,,,Rejuvenation,nil
/castsequence [@player]reset=9 ,,Rejuvenation,nil
/castsequence [@party2]reset=9 Rejuvenation,nil

this is the macro i currently have. I spent hours getting this to work. Rejuv is almost too long, PWS could be too long for 255 limit. Using Target= is too long. The PROBLEM was that it takes TWO PRESS to pass the sequence to the next toon. Thats why there are more commas than the theorycraft suggest it should. If yo dont have the exact number of commas or dont wait for Global Cooldow, the order will be mess up and skips a toon. It seems to acts like /click where the sequence starts from the top again before moving to the next toon.

Your best bet is a /click macro if you just keep spamming the button. If you need more bars use ExtraBar. It wont mess up your current set up like Bartender.

P.S. You cant abbriviate spell names right? i.e. PW:Shield?


Blizzard has posted class reviews. The cataclysm change will give Priest Power Word: Barrier that sheilds the whole party.

So with the above macro it works for Rejuv, would it work for Power Shield by changing spell name? Or will the commas differ?
I am using click macros with each line of the code in a seperate click.
At work so will need to check this our later

[Ualaa]

The commas are purely a function of your spam speed.
The spell names are only important with regards to the length of the entire macro.

A Nill/Null effect with a reset is an option.
As is enough commas to allow for continual spam.

If you're willing to build a click macro, that will get around the space issues.
But click is not functionally any different from one super huge macro, with every castsequence in it.

Just tested:

#show Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party4] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party3] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party2] reset=5 ,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@player] reset=5 ,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party1] reset=5 Power Word: Shield

This is spam-able I spam with a 2 per 1 sec spam rate. (and a haste rating of 8,85%)

This means that after ~ 6 sec all are shielded.

just for fun an laughs I did the following:

/castsequence [@party4] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Renew
/castsequence [@party3] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Renew
/castsequence [@party2] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Renew
/castsequence [@player] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Renew
/castsequence [@party1] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Renew
/castsequence [@party4] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party3] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party2] reset=5 ,,,,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@player] reset=5 ,,,,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party1] reset=5 ,,,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence [@party1] reset=5 Prayer of Mending

So after ~ 15 sec all are ready
I removed the NIL at the end so it stays spam-able for the renew and does the PoM as well. PW:S fails if the shield is still up.

With a couple of commas more this could be a really nice macro for a disc priest, to keep everyone up
(with empowered Renew [deep Holy], a sequence of PoM, Tank shield, and a renew sequence might be nice as well)

I tested the macros, so it is no longer theory craft

Note: I use macaroon, so I can have macros >255 chars

A note on the last post by Bloodcloud, it seems to work perfect, I used it last night and it did a nice job at shielding everyone at the start of fights and also during a fight worked really well.
Nice job
