New Shaman ele dps macro!

[Alemi]

Forgive me, I read this whole thread twice but I'm not really following the change to macro function and how it effects casting exactly. It looks to me like the same thing I've been using with my druid tank macro that looked something like this (from memory, not exact!)

/castsequence reset=combat Mangle, Lacerate, Lacerate
/castrandom Maul

Maul's functionality changed completely with 4.01 and is no longer an "on next swing attack" operating as a toggle on/off. Maul will never fire in your macros case as, since these are all melee abilities and instant, the GCD will be triggered after your castsequence and the castrandom will never be allowed to process.

Maul is just a standard fill in your rotation now along with Pulverize and Swipe.

The only one I feel is going to be a real pain is my boomkin.

Boomkin isn't too bad at all - though I admit I haven't been able to find a way to use Sunfire when in a solar eclipse state without running into the potential of hanging up a macro. I may end up specing out of it.

Button 1 - Bar 1
/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=combat Insect Swarm, Moonfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire
/cast Starsurge

Button 2 - Bar 1
/changeactionbar 2

Button 1 - Bar 2
/castsqeuence [nochanneling] reset=combat Insect Swarm, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath
/cast Starsurge

Button 2- Bar 2
/changeactionbar 1

The only addition is the bar switch when you hit at eclipse state. Switch bars and then continue mashing your first button. You'll cast Starsurge every time it's up, and take advantage of the Shooting Stars procs.

For the IS Boxer users...

If you don't want to mess with Bar Switches, you can set up toggles quite easily.
This could reduce four DPS keys to two quite easily too.

Create a mapped key, which uses Button 1 as the hotkey, and outputs to wherever you put your Button 1/Bar 1 macro. You could even place it on a bar which is not visible, for less clutter.
Create another mapped key, which uses Button 1 as the hotkey, and outputs to wherever you put the macro which would have resided on Button 1/Bar2, in your example. Again you can hide the macro, if you desire.

Have IS Boxer start with one of the mapped keys enabled and the other disabled.

Create another mapped key, with two steps.
Step 1 will activate one of the mapped keys and disable the other.
Step 2 will reverse the process.
You can include Text Warnings in your mapped key.

Now you spam a single key.
And when you want to switch to the opposite Eclipse State, hit your toggle.



You could easily adapt this to your Tank Only vs Tank + DPS spam.
Have both the Single Target and AoE keys output to members of your DPS Group.
And have say two toggle keys.
First one is two steps, and adds/removes DPS from the DPS Group.
Second one is two steps, and adds/removes the Healer from the DPS Group.
Irregardless of these two Toggle mapped keys, the Tank is part of the DPS Group.

So now you spam either "1" for single target or "2" for AoE threat/killing.
If you want only the tank to be doing damage, press your toggle to remove DPS from those keys.
If the content is trivial, ie, current heroics, you can toggle your healer into the DPS.

Holy poop.

I swapped out the macro I posted previously for a slightly modified (to account for haste) version of the macro in this thread.

My DPS prior to the patch was below 2k pretty much.

With the macro I posted in this thread it went up to about 2500.

With the new macro it's around 3500.

Yeah, this rocks
