Mecurio's Cataclysm Multiboxing Macros

[Altsoba]

If you spam, but the spam is two different steps, in theory it will alternate between them.
You should get a precise: 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2... etc.
One of the macros might be stuck on something and unable to advance, but the other macro should fire off fine, and the stuck macro should run as soon as it can.

If you spam both keys together, in the long run they should fire approximately as often.
But you will reach streaks where the same key is pressed first consistently, meaning the other does not have an opportunity to fire.
In short, it is a less even distribution with a greater potential for streaks of one macro over the other; you could inadvertently be on a "stuck" stage with not much happening for several presses.

Ualaa... it's not even the fact you're always there to help... it's just that when you explain something it's so damn clear!

Can't thank you enough.

Cheers,
A.

I did some additional testing of my 5x Shaman DPS macro.

With these, I was about to get and maintain 7K DPS on my main shaman, which is PvP specced with Full Wrathful gear and reforged crit to mastery.

Here is a link to my main



Step 1

/castsequence reset=8 Flame Shock,Chain Lightning,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Chain Lightning,Lightning Bolt,Earth Shock,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt

Step 2 for Shaman #1

/castsequence reset=combat/8 Wind Shear, searing totem,lava burst,lava burst,lava burst,lava burst,Wind Shear,lava burst,lava burst,lava burst,lava burst
/cast elemental mastery
/use 13
/use 14

The main difference is I incorporated Chain Lightning into the standard rotation. It is spaced between 3 Lightning bolts apart because of the 3 second cool down. So even with max haste, it should still have enough time to come off cool down before the next one occurs. Also, the number of chain lightnings and lightning bolts are optimized to make full use of fulmination. On average, if should trigger earth shock with 7-9 orbs.

In step 2, this is mostly the same as Mercurio's macro. Searing Totem is cast at the start and is refreshed once every 60 seconds. Lava Burst has a 8 second cool down, thus 60/8 = 7.5, so we'll need 8 Lava Burst casts as filler.


I've also incorporated a staggered Wind Shear.
I have 5x Shamans and wind shear cool down is 6 seconds. So if each Shaman does Wind Shear in sequence, that is ~30 seconds between casts. 30 / 8 = 3.75. So Wind Shear is place once every 4 Lava Bursts. Each shaman has a slightly different proc macro where wind shear is staggered down the line. For example, here is my macro for Shaman #2

Step 2 for Shaman #2

/castsequence reset=combat/8 searing totem,lava burst,Wind Shear, lava burst,lava burst,lava burst,lava burst, Wind Shear, lava burst,lava burst,lava burst
