Pandaclysm Arcane Mage rotation

[halabar]

So started working on an arcane mage rotation, based off the reccomended rotations over at: http://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topi...ts-and-glyphs/

And sofar, I have the following...

/castsequence Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast
/cast Nether Tempest
/cast Mirror Image
/cast Arcane Power
/use Brilliant Mana Gem

with Arcane Missiles and Evocation as manual casts. Trying to figure out how to get Arcane Missiles in a macro since it a) is based on a proc, and b) is channeled. So how do you get it in a macro without the channeling being broken?

I'm also eventually running out of mana with both mana gem and evocation still on CD.

/stopmacro [channeling]

I use that on my priests so i can spam my mind flay button without stop starting the cast every time i spam it

/stopmacro [channeling]

Will that work if you are spamming a 2-button macro pair, or does it need to be part of the same macro? (In other words, would I need to include it in the above macro, or could it work as a second button?)

[halabar]

hmm.. tried a few variations around this...

/stopmaco [channeling]
/castsequence Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Missiles
/cast Nether Tempest
/cast Mirror Image
/cast Arcane Power
/use Brilliant Mana Gem

but the Arcane Missles seems to get cut off still (and doesn't fire as often as it should).

/stopmaco [channeling]

Typo error?

^you are missing an 'r' in macro

^you are missing an 'r' in macro

Doh!

[halabar]

ok, after correcting my spelling, and some more experimentation... (I moved all the longer cooldowns out for manual casting for now)

/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast Nether Tempest
/castsequence Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast,Arcane Blast
/cast Arcane Missiles

is doing about 18k self buffed in the lvl 86 greens you get from the quest.

The amusing thing is that they eliminated the old burn phase / management phase to make it less one-button, but in reality they may have made it easier to macro. It remains to be seen how this works with Invocation, but unless they release lvl 90 premades for testing, we'll just have to experiment when we get there.
