Blood DK 6.0.2

My take on bar swapping, let me know what you think. You add each macro to button 1 of each tool bar.

Bar1
#show Blood Presence
/castsequence Icy Touch,Plague Strike,Blood Boil
/swapactionbar 1 2
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

Bar2
#show Blood Presence
/cast Heart Strike
/swapactionbar 2 3
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

Bar3
#show Blood Presence
/cast Death Coil
/swapactionbar 3 4
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

Bar4
#show Blood Presence
/cast Soul Reaper
/cast Bone Shield
/cast Dancing Rune Weapon
/cast Empower Rune Weapon
/swapactionbar 4 1
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

Heart Strike was removed from the game. See the blood tanking post.

Sorry, meant Death Strike.

so, this is just a guess, but castsequence with 0,0,0 etc doesn’t work anymore, so we have to use bar swapping now? So, now having an “all-in-one” mostly macros won’t work?

Hi, swapped HS for DS. Put all four in the first slot of each bar. Nothing happens, except for a message, stating, “The number of messages that can be sent is limited, please wait to send another message.” Obviously I’ve done something wrong.

I was about to do what Azriel did, and put each code snippet into it’s own macro, and then put them in their respective first slot, of bars 1-4.

I have not yet, though =)

Can someone provide clear, step-by-step instructions on what and how we’re supposed to get macros to work in WoD.

The community of Lazy Macros users will thank you!

Or, show a link, of where that exists - ideally, somewhere on this site.

thanks again

Okay here here what I did.

First I just use regular wow macros, no addon was needed

1- Make sure you are on the the first action bar on your main bar, create this macro and click on it /swapactionbar 1 1.

2- Create this macro and add it the first button on it. Once add it click on it and it should make it to the second bar.

#show Blood Presence
/castsequence Icy Touch,Plague Strike,Blood Boil
/swapactionbar 1 2
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

3- Repeat the second step. Create this macro and add it to the first button on bar 2. Click on it and repeat until you have added all 4.

#show Blood Precense
/castsequence death Strike
/swapactionbar 2 3
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

#show Blood Presence
/castsequence Death Coil
/swapactionbar 3 4
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

#show Blood Presence
/castsequence Soul REAPER
/cast Bone Shield
/cast Dancing Rune Weapon
/cast Empower Rune Weapon
/swapactionbar 4 1
/targetenemy [noexists][dead][noharm]
/startattack [exists,harm,nodead]

The last one will cycle it back to the first macro. I am not sure why you are getting that error, are you using addons? I followed my instructions and got it to work without issues.

Thanks, I got it to work. I was using Bartender, which stopped it from rotating the bars. Thanks for the macro.

Check for spaces in front of each line. It’ll just dump it all to /say if you do. And this is an excellent tutorial. I basically broke my pre patch macro down on patch day and tweaked it a bit here and there. Working like a charm.

Here is what I am working on. A one button macro that when I was testing on a level 80 Dummy I was hitting as high as 80k to 100k DPS.

Everyone can can put their input to help make this macro below even better.

/startattack
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/castsequence reset=target Icy Touch,Plague Strike,Blood Boil,null
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,0,0,Death Siphon
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,Soul Reaper
/castsequence reset=2.5 Blood Boil,Death Strike,Death Coil,Blood Boil
/cast Dark Simulacrum
/cast Anti-Magic Shell
/cast Icebound Fortitude
/cast Bone Shield
/cast Dancing Rune Weapon
/cast Empower Rune Weapon
/cast Outbreak
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Not had a chance to try this macro yet. It looks a lot like the pre patch macros that no longer work but obviously, you’ve tried it. Can’t wait to test it. What talents are you using, and obviously you’re using a macro addon?

Veldon,

I am pretty sure that your macro will not work as priorities within castsequence have been removed from the game. They have been removed due to the way bizzard now processes data when an ability is used.

This was done to improve game play. What addon are you using to be able to use extended macros as Super Duper Macro and the Macro Toolkit are both not working.

im using macro toolkit and everything seems to be firing properly havent checked dps on a dummy yet been using it while questing lvl 89 atm

Because of the priority castsequences blocked by blizzard, your macro will totally skip this part:

/castsequence reset=0.5 0,0,0,Death Siphon
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,Soul Reaper

even if it doesnt lock up, it just skip totally death syphon & soul reaper

Ok…

Because of the priority castsequences blocked by blizzard I have find a work around for

/castsequence reset=0.5 0,0,0,Death Siphon
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,Soul Reaper

My talents are 1,1,2,3,2,2

So here is what I am currently testing on the level 90 dummy below. With a average 2.5K to 2.7K DPS

/startattack

/targetenemy [noharm][dead]

/castsequence reset=target Icy Touch,Plague Strike,Blood Boil,null

/castsequence reset=2.5 Blood Boil,Death Strike,Death Coil,Soul Reaper

/cast [combat] Death Siphon

/cast [combat] Dark Simulacrum

/cast [combat] Anti-Magic Shell

/cast [combat] Bone Shield

/cast [combat] Dancing Rune Weapon

/cast Icebound Fortitude

/cast [combat] Empower Rune Weapon

/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

I have modified my Talents and Major Glyphs and so much better 3k DPS on level 90 dummy

Talents are 2,3,1,1,1,2

Major Glyphs
Glyph of Outbreak
Glyph of Icebound Fortitude
Glyph of Vampiric Blood

Using the Alpha Version of Macro Tool Kit http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/macro-toolkit/files/

My new macro below

/startattack
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/castsequence reset=target Icy Touch,Plague Strike,Blood Boil,null
/castsequence reset=3 Blood Boil,Death Strike,Soul Reaper,Death Coil,Outbreak
/cast Plague Leech
/cast Anti-Magic Shell
/cast Remorseless Winter
/cast Bone Shield
/cast Icebound Fortitude
/cast Dancing Rune Weapon
/cast Death Pact
/cast Empower Rune Weapon
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Now if you can make this macro better then please post your version

Thank you

I don’t get even the updated macro toolkit to work for me

Use Kayrmacro. Notas goo as super-duper or macro toolkit but it extends the macro.

</cast Remorseless Winter>

Above is not available to blood DK
also the “null” needs to be removed.

Code looks pretty eloquent. Suggest running it with a good rune meter. I did, and while the code ran, it wasn’t very efficient.
