7.3 Enh Macro Using Earthen Spike 1.8 million DPS

[quote quote=56290]I still find using ES and RB on separate buttons, using 4 buttons AHK, better. That RB&ES on same macro doesnt trigger ES at cd.

Whatever works for you.
I find it fires off ES if not exactly on cooldown, then at least within the next 2 or 3 GCD’s, which is good enough for me.

Ok, so back to the following, with a slight modification. Fury of Air over crashing storm, since the t20 bonus is dead, and FOA procs more up time on the leggo gloves as well as doing at least 5 percent of total damage on boss fights, plus it’s damage is buffed by the t21 4 piece. I stuck in another crash in the rotation, because I just felt like it needed it, and I took ES out and put it in a macro with RB, but with a slight modification. I changed it so ES has priority over RB in the macro, as I was noticing that it hardly ever fired the other way around. So with that said, try it out! I start the macro, then after the first RB goes off I hit my shift to trigger FOA and I may never have to re trigger it the entire fight. But if you do, just hit your shift modifier again.

Hi Tstone :slight_smile: soooo for my understanding!
This is still a 3 button macro:

  1. SS
  2. ES/RB
  3. Macro

the only significant change is the modifier for FoA and, as you’ve mentioned, a reworked ES/RB macro, correct?
Could you also share your updated ES/RB macro?

Many thanks for your efforts :slight_smile:

@Tstone
found one issue but after i fixed it
"/castsequence [combat] Crash Lightning, ", change it to “/cast [combat] Crash Lightning”,

if you are gonna use the Shift mod u have to unbind your shift1,shft2,shfit3 all under action bar in keybindings

ok after some testing i came up with this
the FOA macro comes up about 100k less dps then the original how ever on a multi target fight it will definetly outshine crashing storm
the difference is
original macro adjusted wiht the extra crash lightning and taking out ES from main macro 1.5 million
FOA Macro above 1.4 million
also tried out boulderfist instead of ES because boulderfist works well with the New T21 set and im getting 1.5 million with that as well

Updated Macro on page one…Took out ES from main macro since its 2nd macro with Rockbiter also added the extra crash lightning

Hey Kaj, thanks for the feedback. ON FOA do you have the legendary gloves yet? If not then I can see why you might skip, but with the gloves FOA really comes into its power. The gloves will proc off the static damage of FOA, and more windstrikes equals more dps. Also helpful is the t21 four set because it’s buffing your FOA by an additional 15 percent and the ring will increase it by an additional 4.5, or 5.5 if using frost abilities. So with Smoldering Heart and Eye of the Twisting Neither, FOA is pretty great. As for the ES/RB macro, it’s just an inversion of order, and after much testing I never saw ES delay longer than 3 gcds, ever. Thanks for fixing the crash in the macro I was using. The other macro for the 3 button set up follows.

Correct on the Shift, my apologies for not mentioning that as I had to hunt for why every time I used it it kept just swapping my action bar 1 with action bar 2. So Game Menu, Interface, Key Bindings, Action Bar, then unbind everything with Shifts associated.

I also tried out Boulderfist, and it seemed that over 5 minutes they were pretty close, but then I changed the order of the ES/RB macro and had more up time on ES than I’d ever had, and it began to pull ahead of boulderfist, especially the longer the fight dragged on. There’s also a lot more RNG involved with ES over Boulderfist, with procing WS and SS with ES active, as opposed to the flat 20% increase in every RB you hit with, so then it just comes down to more sustained dps vs a bit more burst, and even then burst that is never anticipated or planned, it just happens all on its own accord.

Ya unfortunately I do not have the gloves yet it is literally the last legendary for me to get BS RnG.

You’ll get it, and when you do give FOA a try, I think you’ll see a big change!

Not sure what macro you are talking about the ones on page one i just tested both and they work perfect, if your talking about the one Tstone posted you have to correct 1 line and unbind your shift keys

here is the corrected version of the FOA make sure u unbind shfit1, shift2, shift3,shift4

Still doesn’t fire off for me. I’ve tried the one you linked and the one on the Original post.
I’ve unbinded the shift1-4, nothing. I can hear the clicks trying to do something but nothing goes off when I try attacking a dummy.

have you tried manually pressing the keys to see if it fires off, if it does then its how u have it set up on your mouse or keyboard.

when you imported the macro and saved it did you then go into the wow macro section and pick a icon for the macro and save it there as well, i mean do the icons u have bound to the keys have icons or question marks.

other wise im not sure whats happening it works for everyone else

Added FOA macro to the 1st post for those who want to use it***

Thanks Kaj! A note, I made some changes to the ES/RB Macro. I added shift and alt mods for crash and FOA.
I also made another macro for Stormstrike, with the same shift alt mods. I found that I could press shift forever before FOA or Crash would happen, because…well, too many stormstrikes and RB’s going off for it to ever get to the macro to attempt a Crash or FOA. It works much better now.

Ok cool i Updated the 1st post with all the macros for those who want to use crashing storm and then those who have the gloves and rings that wanna use FOA.

SO got the gloves finally the last legendary to get and i am using the FOA macro now and maintaining 1.8 million + SO if you have the ring and gloves i would suggest the FOA macro vs the crashing storm macro.
