New Shaman ele dps macro!

[Kicksome]

kate, don't use any Lava Bursts in the castsequence

[daviddoran]

I made a similar one for my mage, simply put it is

/castsequence arcane blast,arcane blast,arcane blast,arcane blast
/cast arcane missiles

it shouldn't work the way I understand macros, but it does, and casts AM every time its up. I might try putting in missile barrage, if mana usage is too high.

macros been changed if they done it to help or if its a bug who knows but use it as we still can ill keep a eye on beta see if i see any changes

[Starbuck_Jones]

My current prot pally macro looks like.

/castsequence reset=9 Judgement,Hammer of the Righteous,Shield of the Righteous,Hammer of the Righteous,Word of Glory

And I have Avengers shield and Holy Wrath on two seperate buttons and all 3 bundled in a /click. Seems to work ok. DPS is the suck. Im at 2k dps and I dont see a way to increase it to the 5k I was at before. Also I cant hold agro anymore. Its like trying to tank w/o Righteous Fury up. I also could not see a dps or threat difference between Hammer and Crusader Strike so until things change I see no reason to ever use Crusader Strike as prot. Crits seem to be the biggest loss in dps. Gone are the 10-15k crits of judgement and hammer. Now the only thing that crits for anything is Avengers Shield in the 7-9k range. Even a 3 power garuntee crit of shield only pops for about 7k.

I also could not get a castsequence to cast two or three hammers in a row with the 3s cool down. It would just jump to the next spell either Shield, Judgement,Word

Check this post out for Paladin tank rotation:

Here is another good post

http://rhida.ch/2010/09/30/everythin...d-4-0-1-at-80/

Crusader Strike needs to be used a lot more for single target. There will be a AoE rotation and a Single Target rotation that is very different. Until 81, HoPo can be dumped with ShoR if not using Word of Glory.

With the posted cast sequence in this thread, ShoR only hits for 20% AP, so if that is what is being used, then threat will be super low. Same for damage/dps.

Try something like this:

/castsequence reset=15/combat Avenger's Shield,Crusader Strike,Judgement,Crusader Strike,Holy Wrath,Crusader Strike,Shield of the Righteous, Crusader Strike,Judgement,Crusader Strike,Avenger's Shield,Crusader Strike,Shield of the Righteous

The above is 239 chars. Always start with AS and not Judgement or the rotation will be off.

P.S. - Yea this started out as an Elem DPS thread.. maybe we can rename it to 4.0.1/Cata Macros?

kate, don't use any Lava Bursts in the castsequence

/agree

I think they are talking about using proc timers / bars and yourself pressing a /cast lava burst when it is up

[Zub]

i've been using the macro described by the OP (normal castsequence, including Earthshock) and LvB on a separate button and it's working well for me.
I've also added lifeblood (added haste) as another separate /click button

all in all my solo dps improved from 3.8k to 4.4k on dummies since this patch.

my paladin is another story however, but he manages to still keep agro

[kate]

/agree

Oh - so, just so I'm clear, I might have:

Button 1:
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Flame Shock, Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock, Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt

Button 2:
/cast Lava Burst

And then just mash the both of em?

I can do that!

And yes, I know, I probably need fewer Lightning Bolts in there, or more, depending on my haste - I'll be calibrating this tonight!

Edit: I am a dummy, I didn't realize that the way macros work had been changed. That has to be unintended, but if it isn't, yeesh, boxing just got a whole lot easier!

[daviddoran]

Using this idea, I got my ele shaman, destro lock and arcane mage to hit over 8k DPS self buffed on the target dummy. This is insanely good. Once i get around to reactivating my other 2 accts I'll work on my hunter and priest. I hear shadowpriests got some sweet buffs.

I do hope that this is not a mistake, and that it continues to work this way. Otherwise, mashing 2 buttons may be the only option.

rather:
in your button 1 put the /castsequence followed by
/click MultiBarBottomLeftButton1

on your left button of the bottom left action bar, drag the lava burst spell.
mash button1 only, your lvb will cast whenever available


on that note, how does it work for more spells? for example avangers shield and consecration/judgement?
they go off when using 3x /click but seem to follow an order
