Mecurio's Cataclysm Multiboxing Macros

[jeepdriver]

do you have one set up for a disc priest by chance?

[Ualaa]

You'd want Penance, Holy Fire and Smite as your holy DPS.
But SW: Pain, SW: Death, Devouring Plague and Mindblast are decent shadow DPS.

I am rather partial to Smite, since it heals (talented).
And tend to use Penance the most when questing.

It all depends on whether you want the priest to be the healer, or a DPS/heal support.

[Mercurio]

Thanks Ualaa for all the above replies. As usual, you are correct on every point and have done a nice job explaining things.

Stingc, to be honest I haven't messed with the Prot Warrior macros very much. The only thing I really use the single attack on is when I'm using him to tank the 3D Sarth. The macro works well enough to keep threat even when three of my DPS are putting out over 10K damage, so it's got to be pretty good

As to it getting hung over the long hall, I guess that's possible - I never use that macro for more than a minute at a time (if Sarth is up for more than a minute, it is a wipe), so I haven't tested over the long term. I'm also out of town visiting family so can't test it for the next five days.

Then again, in the PM you sent me this morning, it looks like your 2 Step setup isn't quite correct, so that could be the problem as well. Let's work it from two angles - I'll send you a reply to try to get your 2 Step fixed, and if you find something in your testing to optimize the tank macro, just post it here.

Experimented a little on my Holy Priest today

I made this macro on my second step key "e"

/click ActionButton3
/click ActionButton4
/click ActionButton4
/click ActionButton5

On ActionButton3 i got Chakra

On ActionButton4 i got this macro

#showtooltip
/tar TANK
/cast Guardian Spirit

On ActionButton5 i got Desperate Prayer

So when I spam my 2Step key, my priest try to cast these spells when available

do you perhaps got any worked in evocation macro forthe mage? ^^

also for the warlock ^^

[Coltimar]

Would you really want to macro evocation? I think it works much better as a separate key so you can use it when you need it. Life Tap is already in Merc's macros but you could put it on a separate button as well to use when needed. You shouldn't have mana problems with a destro luck.

I aint playing on high lvl yet ^^

I hope that changes fast..

My Guys are currently level 57 and using these macros, my prot warrior does 3 times the damage over my other guys (ele shaman, dest lock, arc mage) although the mage does a bit more damage over the lock and shaman. so im also hoping things change soon

Ele Shaman

Ele Sequence Macro
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=combat/8 Flame Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt
/cast Elemental Mastery

Ele Proc Macro
/castsequence reset=combat/8 Call of the Elements,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Searing Totem,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst,Lava Burst
/use 13
/use 14

For the proc macro, why do you do the Lava Burst as another cast sequence? I tested the 2 step macro above and its works ok, but I've found that Lava Burst doesn't always go off immediately when its ready. Usually I get 2-3 extra LB's before Lava Burst goes off. I spam my keys, so perhaps this is causing the issue?

However, I've been using this macro

/castsequence reset=combat/8 Flame Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt
/cast Lava Burst

When I test this, Lava Burst goes off immediately on the next cast when its ready. Overall, it is a DPS increase.
