7.2 lashing flames macro question Based On 2,2,1,3,1,1,2

Shaman Archive Patch 7.0+

Im attempting to get a macro working the ultimate would me to get it all wrapped up into one but i might have stumbled onto something here. so i had a bunch of macros in the sequence viewer and i dont know how to use it very well so i tried to modify a old macro one and for a new use i need coming up and this is what i got.

Sequences[‘TOPdps’] = {
– This Sequence was exported from GSE 2.0.14.
Author=“WhoKnows”,
SpecID=263,
Talents = “2,2,1,3,1,1,2”,
Default=1,
Icon=‘Spell_Shaman_ImprovedStormstrike’,
MacroVersions = {
[1] = {
StepFunction = “Priority”,
KeyPress={
“/targetenemy [noharm][dead]”,
},
PreMacro={
},
“/castsequence [combat] Feral Spirit, Crash Lightning”,
“/castsequence [combat] Flametongue, Frostbrand, Lava Lash”,
“/castsequence Rockbiter, Rockbiter, Lava Lash”,
“/cast [combat] Crash Lightning”,
“/cast Rockbiter”,
PostMacro={
},
KeyRelease={
“/cast [combat] Doom Winds”,
},
},
},
}
Now I used this macro before with Rockbiter being boulderfist and with out frostbrand and pulled crazy numbers but with the times changed its time to use the ring with the legendary bracers so atm this macro is keeping both buffs up and hailstorm and lava lash are in the top 4 in damg crash lightning does not fire off at all, but im not even sure if we need crash lightning en the macro at all, since the only time they might even be used is during wolves. so one other thing i ran the macro for about 2 min and also saw i had a ton of maelstrom so if anyone thinks they can improve on this please feel free to put their 2 cents in. I use stormstrike on a seperate key incase your wondering i am down to trying it in the macro if u wanna put it in ive seen it done both ways.
how to you copy and paste stuff in code

Hey, i was about to post my macro in Zam’s thread, but i guess it would also fit here, since your macro is also about the legy bracers.

So first of all here are my current stats (unbuffed):
26% crit (29,5% with “eye of command”)
27% haste
60% mastery

I am using the following talents: 2212222 and my current iLvl is at 884. The weapon is lv. 902 (38 traits)

So i was testing my macro (tweaked the one in Zam’s thread a lil bit) with and without “Frostbrand”, while wearing the legy bracers and the DPS results are both really similar. I ran each macro with and without “Frostbrand” for about 5 minutes and repeated it 3 times.
Here is a link to the results: no forstbrand + Legy bracers and Frostbrand + Legy bracers.

As you can see, both DPS are pretty even, but i have to say that my “Fury of Air” dropped at least twice while using my macro with Frostbrand.
Without Forstbrand “FoA” was pretty much up 100% the time.

btw. here is the macro:

ys you dont want to use Fury of the air any more youll want to use crashing storm.
and since youll be using tempest there is no reason for ligtning bolt either.

Yea, as far as i know thats the way to go when you have the tier 19 gear. I just started playing WoW again 3 days ago, so no tier gear for me yet.

SO what im trying to accomplish in this macro is going back to oldscool with rockbiter and flametounge and frostbrand.

so rockbiter will be used for my source of maelstrom
frostbrand and flametounge will be buffs that should remain up as close to 100% of the time as possible
lava lash is going to be more important then ever because it will be doing even more damn now with the new talen train Lashing flames with increases your next lava lash damg by 2% and this effect stacks so with the bracers allready increasing the damagage of lava lash by 50% with frostbrand and flametounge active you can see how this cane multiply up. so getting lava lash to cast as much as possible is important as well.

SO ROCKBITEr To maintain as much Maelstrom as possible
Frostbrand and flametounge up 100% of the time
Lava lash Cast as Much as possible and on top of all that spamming stormstrike when its up and when it procs lol, what else could i ask for right…
so ya crashlightnig doesnt mean to much at this point

7

Ok so over my 1st test i removed the crash lightnings and this is what i got
i am using Legendary Ring (EOTTN) and Bracers (Akainus)
Ilvl 903
weapon lvl 926
42 points 4th golden trait in lashing flames
4 piece with nightblooming frond and BTI should be enough if any one wants to compare.
here are the results

600k avg over 300 million damg on a dummy unbuffed using the following macro

Sequences[‘TOPdps’] = {

ill give it a shot jimmy and see what i get

10

so i tried it out jimmy and didnt get decent results seems that dps is around 500k, and flametounge and frostbrand fall off alot. I did rework it a LITTLE AND removed crash lightning and just use it for dogs and this is what i use now

Hello Kaj

when using the black box, you need to push code then paste the macro then push close tags, and then submit your post :slight_smile:

Meh… Wanted to blackbox it for ya but forgot those marks and cba fixing it ???

15

I am curious to see what numbers folks are getting with this macro. I have tried it myself and can barely get over 500k (480-500). This is unbuffed on the target dummy over multiple 250mil sessions. So maybe I am doing something wrong with it. I do have an ilvl of 896/897, I always have 4 set on. I do not have the bracers or ring. I have two sets that I use, one for AoE (Legendary Chest and Belt) vs Single target (Legendary Trinket and Helm). I use synapse with 150ms delay like normal with SS on the first key and macro on the second.

16

Ok so i ran 7 Heroic bosses last night i moved to a low pop server to help out a guild that my friend is in so they are still progressiong but any how i ran this build and this macro for all 7 bosses pretty much did not use crash lightning at all.
I have legendary bracers and Ring
and am Using 2213112 with the above macro
I have 904 ilvl
weapon is 925
44 points in weapon
22 crit
17 haste
70 mast

Flask of the seven demons and reg 300 mastery food used for all fights did not use Pots

SKORP- 769k (stayed on boss for the most part)
Crom Anom- 751k
Tril- 637k ( I usually do better)
Spellblade- 627k
Krosus- 728k
Tich- 614k
Star Aug- 628k

Stormstrike was 30-32% damg on all fights with Lava lash being 2nd with 20-23% damg next closest were rockbiter, flametounge and frostbrand with 6-75 each.
1 issue i see is that the buffs from frostbrand and flametongue are falling off alot they only remain active about 74-78% of the fights on pretty much everyfight, i know with using macros there is no perfect macro that makes it all work but if any one thinks thay can improve on this feel free i will definitely test it out and let you know the results

17

I think what I am missing is the bracers. I just got the ring tonight.

18

ya its to bad we cant pick what legendarys we get.

19

Reporting back on this macro :slight_smile:

Trinket 1 : Nightblooming Frond (875)
Trinket 2 : Spontaneous Appendage (865)
Legendary : Akainu bracers and twisting nether ring
Character ilvl 899, Weapon 907
Stats : 18% crit, 17% haste, 74% mastery, 6% versatility
Weapon Artifact : already have lashing flames

Time Attack for 5 mins unbuffed on target dummy
Attempt #1 : 526,656
Attempt #2 : 498,060
Attempt #3 : 562,881
Average : 529,199

I think the better gear i have might make the difference in numbers between us, i would be interested to see what you pull compared to me on the same bosses buffed in a raid environment. We have some nice changes coming out in the next patch so this will all change again so cant get to comfortable.

on a dummy i usually avg about 575-600k over a 200 million damg test unbuffed, all my stats are listed in previous posts
