[Aragent]

Updated Custom Rotation and Custom Proc macro script from first page

Fixed Minor syntax errors and white spaces.

also tweeked a couple macros to improve dps.

Aragent, I posted in Mercurio's thread, but I'll post a my final setup here.


I did more testing with your current macro setup and found some issues.

1. Remove the /cast Lightning Bolt from the proc macro
2. Also remove the /cast Lightning Bolt from the rotation macro
3. The Lava Burst proc and be either /cast Lava Burst or a /castsequence Lava Burst, Lava Burst, ....
4. Remove the /stopcasting from the proc macro. This will cause the macro to fail entirely.

Finally, I don't see a reason why /cast Wind Shear is listed twice.

The main drawback to this system is that all the shamans use the same exact sequence. Of course, this is what you usually want, except for the case of wind shear. I like to staggered my Wind Shear across all my shamans, that way the interrupt capability is used more effectively. The SLOT1 Shaman has Wind Shear at the start of the rotation macro. The SLOT2 shaman has it 3 spells in, SLOT3 has it 6 spells, etc.

That way a wind shear is going off once every 6-9 seconds.

I've been trying to think of a way to integrate this into your setup, but haven't thought of anything yet without making a separate macro of each shaman slot, which kinda defeats the purpose of this anyway!

Wouldn't it work to just create 2 Shaman elemental ATG groups, and then have the macro include a second version of the cast sequence with different order for the second Shaman elemental ATG?

Yes, that is one way to do it.

That, that would require a slightly different macro for each shaman. So if you have 5x shamans, you'd have 5 ATG, which kind defeats the purpose of this setup (one place to store all macros, one macro per class / spec per button ).

I was thinking of altering the idea behind Melee IWT by way of making a new mapkey action called wind Shear Rotation
Leave Hotkey empty (we wil call it later) and the do up a regular round robin doing Wind Shear

Then in the 2 step Mapkey now we will place this (My thoughts would be to place it under 2nd step) after the Custom Proc Macro action
Dokeymap action Windshear Rotation (this is all theroy craft at moment) But my thoughts are it would then try to fire off a Wind Shear after so if it fell threw the Proc to macro to fire it would go off, and each release of your buton would cycle it to the next Shaman)

Just a Thought I had at 4am

Thanks Daanji: Ill update it later
Your Right their should not be a secound Wind Shear probably a copy Past error.

I belive the /stopcasting line was in there (Theroy crafting to see if with it we could force Wind Shear to cast only when it Procs a Insta Cast)


Thanks everyone for there improvements and help lets keep the Ideas comming
