Cata not so MB friendly

[Fuzes]

well for shamans a castsequence should just work fine (just dont spec lavasurge-> elemental warding or reverbation instead) , well as long as they dont disable the addons for longer macros ;D (full flameshock length rota (16sec)) . we will have to build trash/boss macros (switching targets while shock cd an stuff) again but i dont think thats a big problem.

it gets ugly if u have a priority/heavy procc rotation (warrior/prot pala tanks with cata , warlocks , fire mages, 3.x retri palas (art of war proccs/t10 bonus) etc..) .

well the "multiboxer only" talent builds are comming back ;D


Leveling shouldnt be a big problem (at least it wouldnt be worse than wotlk ) , instances arent "that" hard .. lvl 85 instances with max 83 green/blue gear ARE hard but i dont think we will do them with such gear when cata hits .
Archeaology will be a pain in the ass to box ;D (lol no group looting , lol random sites for every char^^)

I was under the impression this was his rotation for Wotlk, but obviously not. My bad.

Ha, the thread is about Cata Beta is it not

So with the combo of Rolling Thunder (60% chance to add an orb on LB or CL) and Fulmination (number of orbs over 3 adds to damage of earthshock) and the Major Glyph of Lightning Shield (never go below 3 orbs), earth shocks are now in the rotation. Based on how my pally is tanking, I think I will want to lessen the threat rather then waiting for max charges to unload. Plus its something I don't have to think about. I didn't spec reverberation so I my cooldown is a little longer.

I have a suggestion for people, level up your leatherworking to get high enough ilvl gear so you don't get locked out of the dungeons via the Dungeon Finder interface. Of course I hope Bliz adds in mail for elemental shammys in the patterns.

BTW, leveling archaeology is insanely slooooow. I hope they bump skill points somehow.

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

i mistyped >_> people should know what i meant.

I found a video on YouTube of a shaman macro that works on beta. No idea if it's good dps, but it's worth a try:

Sorry if it's screwed up, I have to browse on my iPhone now at work. Stupid IT policies

Edit: go to 5 mins in

that guys macro did have commas in it, hmm. I'd venture a guess that they aren't intentionally removing commas from cast sequences, and it's merely a byproduct of them changing so much stuff in general. I wouldn't be surprised that either in a future beta build, or the final release, that commas work just fine. But if they don't, it's no big deal. We can manage. /click will still work to get large macros without getting an addon btw.

on that note (sorry for the off topic) is it possible to have click macros without using many action bar buttons?

The macro is told to /click an action bar button. You have 120 action bar buttons per character, are you running short?

i guess i'm only used to those visible on the bottom bar right +left (2 rows) and the 2 vertical rows on the right

There are also the bars you can shift-scroll through. Action bar addons often make these visible =)
