Normal behavior of castsequence?

[ockhamsrazor]

Hi all, I spent the wekend getting my new five box team running, ISBoxer installed, etc...

I was working on the macros and I see an odd behavior in my cast sequence and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Since my toons are only lvl 5, I was setting up the mage something like this:

/castsequence reset=target/combat frost bolt, fireball, fireball, fireball

When I spam my dps key, the mage seems to restart casting the same spell for every key press without ever actually completing the cast as long as I'm spamming. What am I missing here?

If you have multiple toons casting at the same target at level 5, then I can't imagine anything is surviving past the frostbolt, thereby either resetting due to being out of combat or choosing a new target.

No isn't that, because I disabled all the other chars attacking to verify. Everytime I press the dps key again, while the spell is in the process of being cast, it interrupts it and it looks like that spells starts casting again. Its really really weird and I never saw anything like playing my main chars solo in the past (although I never used castsequence).

I can't imagine what's going on,
I've use /castsequence reset=target x,y,x before.
I guess try just reset=combat or reset=target and see if it changes anything.

replace your castsequence macro with something easy, like "/say hello"

Does that "hello" show up? I'm wondering if you have a keybind or something else going on.

[ockhamsrazor]

Good - at least I'm not crazy :-) I'll play further tonight and see what happens, there must be something conflicting somewhere. I was just afraid I had the castsequence messed up somehow.

did you drag your macro to the bar? :-)
you wouldn't be casting a normal spell instead of a macro would you?

also, is that castsequence all you have in the macro? you don't have a /stopcasting anywhere?
finaly, as suggested try and add a /s hello or something to show it's running.
also, add #showtooltip at the beggining to help understanding which spell will cast next

/castsequence reset=target/combat frost bolt, fireball, fireball, fireball

There is nothing in this macro that would cause spellcasts to reset. Is this the entire macro? I'm guessing you have a /stopcasting in there somewhere interrupting things.

[ockhamsrazor]

There was a stopcasting hidden away, that was causing it .
