Lets work on a lava burst macro!

[pinotnoir]

This is what I have so far.. I need to download macaroon for longer macros.

Also, need to figure up a reset time. Maybe like 11 or 12 sec. You can add chain lightning in but I do that manually right now.. However, I may change it once I start doing some more instance runs. I have the flame shock glyph on my shaman so the first shock is still up to lava burst a 2nd time. I just did a test without the sound part of my macro. Looks like Bliz got rid of the sound for the trinkets not ready. Or I could have them turned off some how and not know it. No need for macoroon yet.

Edit.. dont bother with my sound comments.. Here is the new macro with reset...


/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=11 Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Lightning bolt, Lightning bolt, Lightning bolt, Lava Burst, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt

purge will only fire off if something can actually be purged

Well, yes. But you introduce delays when it doesn't, if only from not doing anything until the next button press.

Time is time. Even a young person with good reflexes can only spam a key a couple times a second or so. I guess it depends on your prioritization of reaction time vs automation.

Hmm . . i like the idea of putting purge on one of my shamans macros as a castrandom. I forget to purge alot in PvP so I think I will give this a try.

Remember lava burst is an 8 second cooldown so you cant spam it. I made a seperate macro for pvp.

/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=4 Flame Shock, Lava Burst

This pops my trinkets shocks and lava burst. I have it on a different button than my pve spam macro above. I also changed one of my shaman to Frost Shock to slow the guy down I am focusing on. I may do two shaman with Frost shock in case one gets resisted. Right now my lava burst are hitting for 4+k x 5. I wasted some cocky alliance yesterday with my above macro.

My understanding of /castrandom, was that if an ability was not available, the game would never choose that option.

So with Purge in the macro, if the target has a buff which you can purge, then there's a 1 in (however many random options there are) chance for purge to be selected.
If there is nothing which can be purged, then purge is never chosen as the action for the keyclick.
That doesn't mean that a GCD is incurred for not casting a spell which was not chosen.

I am going to give that cast random macro a shot tomorrow. I use a cast random on my pally to tank. Seems like it will cast ligtning bolt if everything else is down. May work much better than the one I listed. Look forward to testing it tomorrow. I am 1 bar from 76 so have to finish up. I was on the bird so I can browse forums.

Actually, it pops up an error message that says "there is nothing to dispell". It still counts as a choice - but it doesn't fire the global cooldown.

I think there's a way to suppress those too, but I don't recall how.

People, when are you all gonna learn to bind your main DPS castsequence to MOUSEWHEEL?

Spam Schpam I say. If you write good, complete sequences that cover a lot of bases you can simply slowly and easily scroll your wheel for profit.

Would be cool if you can share some nice relaxig mousewheel marcos for 4 shaman 1 pala
