ele shaman dps macro

[Khatovar]

WoW itself can swap up to 6 actionbars. What about using a third step to drop additional LBs as filler for times when you're held up on shock cooldowns?

Ok sounds good, I'll try that.

I altered the main button of my 2-step macro to be, more or less:
Flame Shock, LBx3, Earth Shock, LBx3, Earth Shock, LBx (1 or 2 I think)

I tweak the Lightning Bolt filler at the end based on when Flame Shock needs to be refreshed on target dummies.
Also, one requirement to make this work is the Glyph for lightning shield (I forget the name) that makes you never drop below 3 orbs. This makes a HUGE difference in many fights, since you occasionally get hit and lose an orb. This makes it so you never need to refresh it.

Not too sure how a 2 step macro behaves in isboxer with ele shamans, but does it mean you cast 3x lightning bolt and then earth shock? Basically if the risk that you cast earth shock at less than 7 stacks of lightning shield it's a dps loss compared to casting a lightning bolt, on the other hand not casting earth shock at or above 7 stacks is a dps loss compared to casting a bolt.

How does the 2nd macro of your 2step look like?

And just to understand it: 2 step means button down it fires of first spell of macro one, button up it itterates through another macro, and keeps doing that correct?

Also the glyph of lightning shield is mandatory for elemental shamans unless you use 4 pieces of pvp set gear (since the bonus there adds a stack when you take damage).

If you want to see how useful earth shock is, then completely remove it from your dps rotation.

2nd macro is just Totems, then "endless" Lava Bolt.
As for the first macro, I've tried with 4 LBs between shocks, but it messes up the timing on things and my dps seems to suffer, so it's a tradeoff for being lazy I guess. I just mash one button. I can micromanage things while playing solo and using no macros and my dps goes up by about 1k. But when boxing, that's not viable.

Haven't tried www.maxdps.com in a while.
It used to allow you to plug in your class/spec, level, and the relative stats such as haste, mastery, etc.

And then come up with an optimal DPS rotation.
Which at least is a starting point for your own rotations.

There might be another site like that, if maxdps is not around or updated?

The best way (and most reliable/used among high end raiders) is to download an application called simulationcraft (http://code.google.com/p/simulationcraft/). You can import your armory, or a chardev.org profile, and then run a simulation with stat weight. You can opt in/out certain spells, buffs, ... go for a patchwerk style, change your skill, etc ... it's the most accurate is it has such a huge userbase and it gets constantly updated.
