MoP Shadow Priest rotation

[leroyreborn]

OK, got the glyph, and tried it out on the dummy, and it's a solid dps increase, doing right at 20k with lvl 85, 378 gear, gems and chants, on the 85 dummy. I like adding the SW in, as it will allow for that to seamlessly be used in combat.

I noticed that there's a few spots where it pauses for a GCD or two, so it can be refined a bit more (might be haste levels too), but it's certainly an improvement over what I had.

Thanks!

yeah there lest one place it hang for a sec while waiting for mind blast but think if you added in mind flay then mind blast would be sitting of cool down for couple secs and would not make it around to refresh the dots in time. will probably look at it more see if i can figure some thing out

It's really not that complicated to adjust to these changes. Just use a multiple step sequence. It's still one button and if something is on cooldown, it'll just progress to something else.

a bit more testing after the latest beta builds, no real change in performance...

/castsequence [nochanneling] Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch,Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay,Mind Flay,Mind Blast, Mind Flay,Devouring Plague,
/cast Mindbender

about 20k on the dummy, preserving this since I don't have a toon on live to use it on right now.. Does perform solidly better than my earlier version (thanks again Leroy!)

The macro gets stuck for me at some point. I only get Mindbender off after it gets stuck.

That on live or on beta?... I just tested both of these on beta (don't have a 85 spriest on live) on lvl 85 dummy, and both work without hanging. Perhaps someting is different on live.

/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence Shadow Word: Pain,Vampiric Touch,Mind Blast, 0, 0
/cast Mind Flay
/cast Mind Flay
/cast Devouring Plague
/cast Mindbender

/castsequence [nochanneling] Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch,Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay,Mind Flay,Mind Blast, Mind Flay,Devouring Plague,
/cast Mindbender

The first does about 16.5k, second does about 19k.

If you are multi-boxing, you might want to swap in SW, if just macroing, use SW at under 20% manually.

Looking at what Khatovar tested, I tried a few other things (didn't know about the 0,0 macros), and came up with this.

This might be a dumb question, but what does 0,0 do in a macro?

Provides a time gap, similar to what the old ,,,,,,,,,, did. (I am a noob at this part, but that's my understanding).

another version...

/cast [noform] !Shadowform
/cast berserking
/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence  [nochanneling] reset=target Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch,Mind  Blast, Mind Flay, Mind Flay,Mind Flay,Mind Blast, Mind Flay,Devouring  Plague,
/cast Mindbender

[Multibocks]

fyi this macro doesnt seem to work anymore, gets caught on mindbender.

[Khatovar]

Not surprised. I saw the same issues with fallthru macros back when MoP was still beta.
