Increasing RET Dps?

[Shodokan]

I get max of like 3200 right now single target... upwards to 8k with multiple mobs.

Curious what macros and such people are using. I'm using the ones from the compilation thread.

Not playing Ret's; but used the wiki macros for building my roommates macros.
He's running a DK and 3x Ret's.

He didn't want to manage Art of War procs, so we built 2x Exorcism and 1x Flash of Light (target on the DK), into the click sequence as the fifth click.

Basically:
- Crusader Strike
- Judgement
- Divine Storm
- Consecrate
- Art of War

No fall-through, but that seems to work fairly well.

Hand of reckoning added like 500-1000dps. It's off the GCD and you need a bit of tier 9 and/or pvp gear to be able to survive having aggro for a swing or two, but it's the easiest boost of dps ever.

Use SoC on trash and SoR or SoV on bosses.

It's hard to tell if exorcism is even worth casting. With a castsequence click macro you won't get 100% efficiency like you can solo playing. if I do my rotation (or more like whack a mole) single I can get everything on cooldown with just barely enough for the exorcism GCD. I imagine when I'm boxing I probably have CS or DS up for a few seconds by the time I get off exorcism which doesn't hit that hard anyway.

Judgement should be first though it does the most damage. According to the EJ thread atleast.

Well.. the toons are not mine.
And my roommate is generally happy with the set up; I've offered to tweak things now and then, sometimes he likes the tweaks and other times is happy with something that works even if its no the most optimal options.

Pretty easy to change the order, just drag the macros to different positions.

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
