5.1a Guardian style

John,

Can you explain the logic behind the “castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,xyz?”

What I think it does is (requries) is the user to mash the keyboard like a teletype to get through the sequence without a reset. When it hits the “0” / “NULL”, it passes through the command with no effect. As it passes through the sequence, you’ll eventually hit a command with a gcd. When one of those executes, the macro executes the command but stops executing anything else.

So if any modifier is selected, you’ll cast a Disorienting Roar -OR- you’ll start executing your main attack actions. Occasionally your macro will throw in other things. In order they’ll be Incarnation (attempt every 0.6 sec)

Mangle (attempt every 0.9 sec)

Maul (attempt every 1.2 sec)

Berserk (attempt every 1.5 sec)

Might of Ursoc (attempt every 1.8 sec)

If one of these abilities is attempted (whether it triggers or not) then no other gcd action will happen. Putting this another way, very few key clicks will trigger one of normal attack abilities.

I needed a one button mash as I multibox and drive from the healer… my partner messed about and came up with a variation on one of the macros here:

/castsequence [combat,nostance:1]Bear Form(Shapeshift); [stealth]Ravage,null
/castsequence [combat] reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,0,Might of Ursoc
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,Berserk
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Maul
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Mangle
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Incarnation: Son of Ursoc
/castsequence reset=7 Lacerate,Swipe,Thrash,Faerie Swarm
/use [combat]!Enrage
/castsequence reset=10 Savage Defense,Barkskin
/cast [nocombat,nostealth]Prowl

We can’t seem to get enrage to work though :frowning:

This is what I did for the Enrage problem, use 2 hotbars and dedicate Enrage to hotbar 2 and it will always work.

For hotbar 1 and whatever key you use.

/castsequence [combat,nostance:1]Bear Form(Shapeshift); [stealth]Ravage,null
/castsequence [combat] reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,0,Might of Ursoc
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,Berserk
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Maul
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Mangle
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Incarnation: Son of Ursoc
/castsequence reset=7 Lacerate,Swipe,Thrash,Faerie Swarm
/castsequence reset=10 Savage Defense,Barkskin
/cast [nocombat,nostealth]Prowl
/swapactionbar 1 2

For hotbar 2 and use the same key as above.

/castsequence [combat,nostance:1]Bear Form(Shapeshift); [stealth]Ravage,null
/castsequence reset=target Enrage
/cast [nocombat,nostealth]Prowl
/swapactionbar 2 1

Hope this helps.

here is my one button macro for tank.
i am lvl 88 and all spells are working.

/cast [noform] !Bear Form
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/castsequence reset=target/alt Faerie Swarm,null
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,1,2,3,4,5,Enrage
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,1,2,3,4,Mangle
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,1,2,3,Maul
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,1,2,Mighty Bash
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,1,Might of Ursoc
/castsequence reset=0.5 0,Incarnation: Son of Ursoc
/castsequence Lacerate,Swipe,Thrash
/cast Skull Bash
/cast Wild Charge
/cast Barkskin
/cast Berserk

only thing is that i cant put Savage Defense in there cause when i do the macro locks up so i lose dps there for threat generation.

so i have 3 things to ask.

  1. is there way to squeeze Savage Defense in there ad the macro not to lock up?
  2. can we use thrash more often?
  3. is there an aoe version of the macro for the raids?

thanx in advance

“Incarnation: Son of Ursoc”
This does not work. But if you drop the “: Son of Ursoc” this spell will work on any line of the macro.

Example:

/cast Incarnation

i was playing with the druid last night and as far as i can tell the spell worked. try changing the 0.5 with some other number to see if hat works

I have the whole spell on the macro im using provided by one of michael jackson’s multi bar macros. It shows white even if i typed it in manually on Mtk, but, it still fires off. It’s an old macro but It still works.

Since 5.1 I noticed that incarnation is no longer working in the macro anymore, everything else seems to be working. Anyone have a updated macro for guardian bears.

Will Witten has requested my guardian bear tank macro here. I’m unable to PM you Will at this time and dont have your email so here is the macro I use.

Enjoy. As usual, tweak as you see fit, and thank you Luis for starting this whole shindig.

/castsequence [mod]Faerie Swarm;reset=3 Lacerate,Swipe,Thrash,Mangle
/cast Mangle
/cast [combat]Berserk
/cast Enrage
/cast Wild Charge
/castsequence reset=10 Savage Defense,Frenzied Regeneration,Survival Instincts
/startattack
