Help with a Beast Master Macro

[ebony]

I think this needs to be more like

/castsequence reset=0.5 5,4,3,2,1,Fervor
/castsequence reset=0.5 4,3,2,1,Bestial Wrath
/castsequence reset=0.5 3,2,1,Rapid Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 2,1,Focus Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 1,Glaive Toss
/castsequence reset=0.5 Kill Command

But I could be wrong.

You should probably look into the /swapactionbar command to allow you do do multi step macros on the Mac / without isboxer.

I would link some more info on it but it is hard to search the forums on my phone

ya /swapactionbar command would do the same,


the prob with the reset commands is they olny reset after 0.5 secs there not spammed so if u pressing the key nostop there nerver going to reset 2nd your marcio is nerver going to stop as u not NULLED the end off it.

/castsequence reset=0.5 Kill Command,null

that would null the the marcio to stop moving after and olny going on after the reset but the way the wow uses reset in the game mario system is not really a trimmer more of a reset.

I tried variants of that, but some of the abilities were still always missing. (Might be that other abilities were using the queue spots first, or it might be that some are being focus starved...) Another issue is the wierd state that Focus Fire is, with it not behaving like a normal spellcast.

I can get variations of the macros going for about 40k dps or so in my gear, so enough to pass in LFR, but not beyond that.

I might experiment with that, but I still think there's going to be a problem with hunters due to the number of cooldowns that can't be paired in a normal macro.

Yea.. just dummies. It just looks so smooth and simple in his video.. could not get anything near that to happen for me. Is it working for you?

The video was pre 5.1 patch. I wish blizz didn't frack with the macros!!!!

[blast3r]

in 5.1 i'm using

/castrandom arcane shot, arcane shot, arcane shot
/cast bestial wrath
/cast kill shot

Seems to be working pretty well, I've not gotten /castsequence to work since 5.1

castrandom works again?

[Khatovar]

Castrandom always "worked" but as far as I know it still choses from any spell listed, not any available spell listed, so it doesn't skip spells on cooldown or that can't be cast. Oatboat's castrandom is all Arcane Shot, so I don't really know how that's different from /castsequence Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot. Unless it's just another attempt to get around Blizzards MoP macro changes.

[Oatboat]

/castsequence never allows the secondary spell to fire off /castrandom does... thats all i know. I'm not really trying to get around anything.. I'm just trying to make my stuff work

/castsequence will still work (i use a quite lengthy one on my spriest)

BUT... there are certain spells that it will not work with. ones off the GCD I think. Focus Fire is a good example.

To build a sequence simply requires some testing on the target dummies, and gradually building the macro.

But again, the problem with BM in particular is the number of cooldowns that make a full castsequence near impossible, due to the length it would be. People forget variable haste in raid situations, and how that effects cast times, which can then bork your /castsequence

[JohnGabriel]

If any spell in the /castrandom list is on CD then none of the spells will cast.

[halabar]

I think the real problem is that BM simply has too many things to line up that can't be in a standard castsequence. Using the other methods, you aren't getting anywhere close to priority or on-cooldown casts. The new focus-fire is the real deal-breaker.

Using the /changeactionbar command should give you up to 5 "steps" or separate macros that can all be rotated through to cover all the cool downs. I think I spelled the command wrong on my earlier post.
