Increasing RET Dps?

[Talos]

im using /clickmacros on my 4 rets as following

main click macro
/click button "1" (judgement)
/click button "2' (crusader)
/click button "3" (divine storm)
/click button "4" (falltrough macro see below)
/cleartarget [target=dead] (to prevent the rets from running to a recently killed corpse to loot due to ISBoxer + IWT)
/startattack (to make sure they always start attacking even if the macros are on the ,,,,,, 's doing nothing)


button 1:
/castsequence reset=4 Judgement of (wisdom x1, health x2, *forgot 3rd name* x1) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, add comma's for your mashing speed

button 2:
/castsequence reset=4 Crusader Strike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

button 3:
/castsequence reset=4 Divine Storm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


on Button 4 i use 3 macro's i switch around based on the situation.
1: /castsequence reset=4 Excorcism, Flash of Light
2: /cast [target=*name of tank*'] Flash of Light
3. /cast [target=player] Flash of Light
i use the 1st one in pvp to alternate excorcism with selfhealing (due to cooldown on excorcism)
i use the 2nd one in pve for extra healing on the tank in bossfights
i use the 3rd one in heavy AoE fights or when i ocasionally only play the 4 rets withouth my tank (to help a friend tank out or something)

I dont use concecration in pve or pvp as i found it to be a major manadrain even with the glyphed seal of command for extra managain on judging....

on a unbuffed targetdummy i get about 3.4k dps (using falltrough button option 1 the excorcism one)
in pve over an entire heroic run including trash i get near 4k on each.
in pvp i pull less dps offcourse due to pvp gear and not always being in range.

Hmm have you tested the efficiency of this setup? I use a much simpler, single castsequence and easily pulled 4-5k on trash and ~4k on bosses. That was with ilvl 219 weapons. With my 264s I believe I can pull up to 5-6.5k on trash and over 5k on bosses. Just saying I think 3.4k and especially 4k on trash is exceptionally low - you may wanna rethink the setup.

I love the /cleartarget [target=dead] part.. I had no idea that worked. Can't wait to try it - I hate runaways! Although it sometimes gets you a bit of extra loot with autoloot enabled

I agree the /cleartarget is a brilliant addition which I will add. Could you also add a /follow lead toon if driving with a caster after the cleartarget?

Mind posting your macros then?
Even if it is just a castsequence

This is what I have right now. It's not optimized or refined at all but it pulls very high dps, I plow through trash and bosses without any healing. Looking at it now, probably doesn't even need the second Crusader strike, but with some haste you may get through the globals fast enough to get to the end of the macro before judgement is up again.

Main macro:

/startattack
/cast Hand of Reckoning
/castsequence reset=6/combat Judgement of Justice, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, Consecration, Crusader Strike

Then a /click is bound to almost every key I hit on the DK to tank. That's it.

thx m8. But i thought HoR only did damage for the first time used on a target?

It does damage if you don't have aggro. Since no one has aggro when I pull, all 4 will hit. The DK regains aggro in a few seconds, then all 4 will hit again next time, and so on.

Makes sense, thanks.

Heyaz,

how do you handle/ manage Art of War procs on the rets for exorcism and flash of light?

For me, I just use Jamba's Proc watcher. Not 100%, but helps me out. I've read somewhere there's another addon you can get from Curse, but can't remember the name. Thing I don't like about Jamba's, no offense Jafula, is I can't seem to be able to move the bars or shrink them. So they take up more room on my main's screen than I like.
