/Click Broke in Cata?

[jinkobi]

As long as Healbot or Vuhdo or another similar addon get updated for Cataclysm and /castsequence works then I should be able to box just fine.

Never used /Click and I guess I don't need it because I've been boxing just fine for 8 months now.

Oh we will be able to use castsequence, but our dps will be gimped comparably. Often I manually use each ability when solo raiding, but I have come very close to that dps with click. Castsequence just does not jive with spell cooldowns very well.

Anything you can do with /click you can do without (without any loss in performance) so I wouldnt worry yet.

I'd like to know how.

I'm sorry but you don't know what you are talking about.

Edit: I see you do arena, I'm talking extended dps with maximum uptime on target, I.e. not pvp.

I can't decide if you guys are pulling my leg, conflating terminology nuances or just retarded, though considering you're both usually reasonable posters, I'll assume it's a terminology issue. Let's define what's being discussed here.

• People are saying /click macros are broken.
• After further discussion, people aren't talking about /click macros at all, but comma-based fall-through macros that are broken.
• Further investigation shows Blizzard has apparently disabled all addon functionality in macros (i.e.: the /click command specifically, in addition to other advanced macros possibly including comma-based fall-through macros) temporarily for feedback reasons. TL;DR = DON'T PANIC (note the large, friendly letters).
• /click macros are no different than any other macro, you're just clicking another button with it.
• /click macros ARE NOT comma-based fall-through macros, though they utilize comma-based fall-through macros to allow stacking multiple macros.
• The ONLY two advantages to a "/click macro" versus having all the commands in one macro are that A) you can call separate macros with a short command which alleviates the 255-char limit in macros without having to resort to mods, and B) you can drag a macro off a click-macro-targeted button to easily rearrange/modify your click macros on-the-fly without editing any text.

Now that we're more precise about /click macros versus comma-based fall-through macros, what problem did you have with people saying:

Anything you can do with /click you can do without (without any loss in performance) so I wouldnt worry yet.

? Is there something incorrect in that statement?

Lest you think I'm picking nits here, consider the noobs who will search and find this thread and think that they will forever be OMGFAILBOATNOOBLOL if they don't have ISBoxer and /click macros.

QFT

ISBoxer, while not the only solution, takes care of this by allowing for extended macros as well as macros that call on other macros, similar to the functionality desired from /click

The sky is not falling, this thread is quickly getting off topic.


Blizzard has intentionally temporarily disabled macro functionality on beta, this is not news and not unexpected.

If you would like to continue discussing Click macros, comma macros or any such topic, feel free to start a new thread in the macro section. Please refrain from chicken little impersonations and any other panic driven actions.

Just because someone does arena doesn't mean they don't do anything else.

You can be very effective without /click, just look at Nechja.

I'm assuming mixed class teams. If I were only playing shaman I would hit each spell individually.
