Cataclysm Multiboxing Macros

[boxblizzard]

yeah the armory is out dated, im in melee gear now, not great but its a start, i ahvnt glyphed yet and i know hit and expertise are no way near cap so i would expect trouble,.

do you have an enhancment shaman in use in the current patch?

can anyone give me thier average gear level and dps result using the macro to date?

I haven't bothered to regem or deal with reforging yet {doesn't matter much when you're farming Ratchet Rep, lol}, so my stats are messy. I also don't have Unleashed Rage because I run with 2 paladins and get AP from Might instead, so I can't justify 2 talent points for a little bump to Expertise.

what would a good one be for a rogue?

i have got alot better gear now for him and can almost hit enar 5k manually.

is there no way of managing the maelstrom weapon in the macro efficiently? it doesnt fire off quick enough it just sometimes works. i want it to execute within a 1 second.

hmmm? managing procs sperately would be crazy for MW as it can proc every second or 2 O.o

Maelstrom Weapon stacks to and should only be used at 5. There's no way you're getting a full stack every second or two. You can tack /cast Lightning Bolt /stopcasting at the end of the macro, however, stopcasting doesn't prevent it from trying to cast even when it's not instant. All it does is cancels something that IS casting, and that is NOT instant either. I often see at least half, sometimes 3/4 of a full cast go off before stopcasting will kill the cast. When you're casting, you're not swinging weapons.

I ran 4 tests at 5 minutes.

At a steady speed of 2 presses per second, using stopcasting in the macro to "automatically" cast the spell was a loss of 10 attacks on my Enhancement shaman and 30 attacks on my Ret Paladin. This resulted in a loss of 1.3% DPS on Enh Melee attacks and 1.4% DPS on Ret Melee attacks.

At a more spammy speed of 5 presses per second, I lost 12 attacks on my Enh and 56 on my Ret. This resulted in a 2.4% Melee DPS loss on the Enh and 5.2% loss on my Ret.

I didn't factor in the loss of Proc DPS due to procs sitting there until the macro got around to calling the fallthru because procs are random, but some procs sat there for several seconds and in the case of AoW > Exorcism, some were lost altogether as a new proc overwrote the one that was waiting.

It's a tradeoff. Micromanaging Melee procs {casters may differ} requires more attention and can suffer in hectic situations where you don't have the luxury of paying enough attention to them. For me, personally, I don't find myself in that situation enough to warrant the constant DPS loss of missed/waiting procs and sacrificed melee attacks.

i could manage these sperately via jamba proc but its just another thing to keep my eye on amongst the rest of the action.

its a toughie. i may have to add another spell or something to make up for loss of dps some how......will work it out eventually.

i do get like you said spell will be stacked but wont fire off for several seconds. soon as i work something out i'l update what i made and see how it compares. im using pally and enhan so i need the best dps i can get as i feel im limited >< its not going to put me off, just a challenge
