Mixed Team Macros, w/o Click or comma's!

[Ualaa]

In that case, we probably go with three or so DPS buttons.

One for effects which you only cast once, or maybe which are only worth casting on a boss. Maybe have an argument for [mod:alt] or [mod:ctrl] in there, so your Shammies can Flame Shock on this key, but your Warlock might or might not Curse of Elements on that press.

Then you have another key for the Castsequence - Looping Spam for each of your classes.

And another button for Proc type effects, which is then spammed every 'x' clicks instead of the default spam key.

Not sure if that is optimal, but it is the best solution I have so far, aside from using software to duplicate the effects of 'click and commas', which I'd prefer to avoid if Blizzard actually removes this feature from the game.

I know right now on my melee team my spam buttons have my priest doing nothing (i control his healing through vuhdo and repeater regions) but if i hold control then the priest joins in DPSing... something like that would work very well in theory, but imagine having 5 combinations of modifier keys to hold down to cast for different chars, yikes.

Ive been wondering if instead of mashing 444444444 or 555555 like im used to with my faceroll macros, if I could just setup 4 as dps key for char 1, 5 for char 2, 6 for char 3 etc and then instead of hitting 44444 im hitting 456456456456 , which would allow me to break out any of the chars for cooldown abilities or procs without affecting the others...

Not really sure yet. Waiting for 4.0 to start testing it.

Most of my teams aren't terribly mixed.

3x Shaman, 1x Warlock, 1x Paladin.
1x Boomkin, 1x Frost Mage, 1x Disc Priest, 2x Elem.Shaman

The rest are 5x the same... although I might move toons a bit. To get 1x Class A and 4x Class B; a DK on the Pally team (don't have a Pally team yet), and a Pally on the DK team.

Have:

5x Druids
5x Priests
4x Warlocks, 1x Priest
5x Hunters
5x Death Knights

These ones will be rather easy, as I will have the same key on the entire team. As in Moonfire on say 1, for every toon, and Insect Swarm on 2, etc.



You could go with a spammed castsequence, and use a specific modifier for a given toon to join in. Also going with 1 (some toons), 2 (other toons) and maybe 3 (still other toons) as their DPS keys. Then spam a combination of 1, 2 and 3. Or even could be progressive where 1 has Group A, 2 has Groups A and B, and 3 have all three groups spam their DPS.

With IS Boxer can have toggles (2 steps), which enable Mapped Keys for different groups. So I can spam "1" for all groups, never needing to touch 2 or 3. And then have a toggle modifier on another key. So when I press say Control 1, it then activates the mapped key where "1" goes to the Group B (it will still go to Group A), and Control 1 can then deactivate the Group B key. That way, it is still a single key spammed, but just control (via toggle) which groups receive the "1" spam and which do not.

Still a lot of options, not sure the best approach.

Anyone know if you can use:

/castsequence reset=target Curse of Elements,Null

On the current PTR or in Beta?
As in, the ,,,,,,,'s are probably gone, but can you still take advantage of Null type macros?

Just did some testing on PTR. Don't know if just got fixed or whatever, but this simple boomkin macro worked like a charm:

/castsequence reset=10/target moonfire,insect swarm,null
/castsequence wrath, starfire
/castsequence ,starsurge

[zenga]

mind trying out a simple /castsequence reset=x ,,,,,,spellname ?

I am playing with the modifier for specifc toons, but it's just a bit touchy. Would it be best to have a tanking macro for my pally as well? Because currently I have my pallies abilities on 1-8. And use the rotations in there, and then hope that the rest of my toons keep their DPS up while I am playing on the tank. But it is still really messy. And can anyone confirm Hakflem? I don't have the PTR.

[Hakflem]

mind trying out a simple /castsequence reset=x ,,,,,,spellname ?

/castsequence reset=5 ,,,,,wrath

This just casts wrath, ignoring the commas every time

[zenga]

so i guess they didn't fix it then
