Cata not so MB friendly

[zenga]

A few weeks ago i thought that no comma's would be hell. Changed my shaman macro's without any comma's, had to reorganize some UI stuff (a way to manage my buffs/debuffs in a better way), took me a day or 2 to get used to it and i'm doing just fine, same amount of dps. We will adapt.

Makes my castsequence using self feel glad I never spent time trying to learn to write /clicks

You do realize that this is the very definition of 3rd party software? If you've using a program to do something the default WoW interface CANNOT do, prepare to have your accounts nuked. If blizzard is nuking commas in castsequence macros I would not look for a way to get around it. I suspect you're refering to a "round robin" keypress setup in IS. How would you adjust for timing issues, as where commas fell into play.

I'm guessing this is "the plan" for it.

There are <85 instances that 85's are doing and it is taking them close to an hour to complete if not more. That is not proper attunement.

We gotta remember combat ratings and stuff get scaled down as you level up. This is so you don't have that same 40% crit you had at level 80. It will get better, as this is working as intended!

@Fursphere:
You can't send the same keyclick to all open WoW windows with the default UI and yet it's still legal. I think you're being a little disingenous here. Just because you can't do it with the default UI doesn't mean it's illegal.

My initial idea would be to have ISBoxer have a bunch of empty steps for the buttons in question. I'm not sure--I'm just saying that I'm positive there's someway to fix it.

Boxing by it's very nature requires innovative solutions to the problems that crop up. I'm not condoning or suggesting that anyone break the ToS--But they obviously don't have a problem with ISBoxer and I'm sure the functionality exists in there right now. /shrug

We'll see what happens over the next couple weeks on the PTR.

Edit:
@Khatovar:
I read that post. It seems legal. Anyone else have thoughts to share? Like why most people don't do this now for optimal DPS as compared to using the /clicks most of us do?

[Bigfish]

Wait, can you expand on this? They changed the macro system so this method doesn't work anymore?!

O U C H.

Say goodbye to multi-class boxing at the higher end of things.

Nah, its just going to make macro writing a pain in the ass. Probably even necesitate an add-on

Edit: Yeah, you can substitute opening a trade skill for a blank. That's going to make for some long ass macros though.

Here is a sample of my shaman rotation

/castsequence reset=combat Flame Shock,Lava Burst,Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock, Lightning Bolt, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning,Earth Shock, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning

Seems to work fine, by no means will it be max dps as Lava Burst cooldown has a chance to reset now with each lightning cast. But its a stable cast sequence.

The fall through removal means things like tacking on a /cast killshot on the end of the hunter rotation is gone. I need to play with my mage to see which spec is the easiest to box, but from what I see Fire is not it. Boomkins now have the eclipse bar, no idea how to deal with that yet. Pallies have holy power... but that just means you will have dump buttons when you build up power. Shadow priests seem to have a nice basic rotation that is not micro intensive. Add in that a pack of shadow gnomes would just be plain fun... and there you have one of my teams I will level to 85. I don't have a high level lock so I am not much help there.

As for tanking classes, I need to move a warrior and DK over to see. Pally tanking is a bit more complicated now but manageable.

I need to play with Jamba to see if I can get it to track holy power.

Hope this helps, and by all means go check out the PTR. The more people looking at this stuff the better.

Why on earth do you use earth shock in your rotation?

Your earth shock won't be dealing enough damage to be worth using at the points you are using them at.

Why on earth do you use earth shock in your rotation?

9 earth shield charges = 22k+ crit from the talent.

Troll bad bad... it's lightning shield not earth shield thought you had leet hookups and were all knowing !
