Bagbag's macro

Here is my macro that I’m trying to optimize. Note that I only care about single target / boss fights. Antorus doesn’t have enough trash/add pack phases for me to spend time on multi target.

Logs from last night’s raid testing - Heroic 7/11 Antorus:

Analyzer of same logs:

Macro logic:
I took the first 3-4 players I could find which had my legendaries on heroic garothi worldbreaker and tried to find a pattern in their casts. I used other macros as a base template for target switching, calling pets, etc. (notably gween’s and a guy who’s account name was just “hunter”).

The pattern seemed to be AMoC -> KC -> CS -> DB -> KC -> CS -> KC -> CS

Sequences['Bagbag'] = {
-- This Sequence was exported from GSE 2.2.03.
  Author="Bagbag",
  SpecID=253,
  Talents = "2111112",
  Default=1,
  MacroVersions = {
    [1] = {
      Trinket1=true,
      Trinket2=true,
      StepFunction = "Sequential",
      KeyPress={
        "/cast [nopet,nodead] Call Pet 2; [@pet,dead] Heart of the Phoenix",
        "/petattack [@target,harm]",
        "/petautocastoff [group] Growl",
        "/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl",
        "/cast Blood Fury",
        "/cast Bestial Wrath",
        "/cast Aspect of the Wild",
      },
      PreMacro={
      },
        "/cast A Murder of Crows",
        "/cast Kill Command",
        "/cast Cobra Shot",
        "/cast Dire Beast",
        "/cast Cobra Shot",
        "/cast Kill Command",
        "/cast Cobra Shot",
        "/cast Kill Command",
        "/cast Dire Beast",
        "/cast Titan's Thunder",
      PostMacro={
      },
      KeyRelease={
      },
    },
  },
}

Troubleshooting:
Based on the analyzer I’m missing tons of KC casts even when KC is available to cast.

38/87 casts on Garothi Worldbreaker (43.67%)
47/93 casts on Felhounds (50.53%)
73/141 casts on Kin’Garoth (51.77%)

Thoughts for next iteration:

  • Add 2 KC casts where there are none

AMoC -> KC -> DB -> KC -> CS -> DB -> KC -> CS -> KC

  • Change AHK setting to be a little slower 100ms to 120ms or 150ms

Please try this macro and let me know your results.

Posted now! working on some edits, will report findings.

added fel focuser cast (not working for some reason?)
added 2x kill command
added auto target switching

Will have to wait until the next raid to do some real testing but preliminary tests are having good results.

works fine but staved of focus needs work on that part

Interesting, I am not focus starved, likely a gear/leggo/spec/bonus difference.
As a side note


        "/cast Lightforged Augment Rune",
        "/cast Repurposed Fel Focuser",

Is not working for some reason

i see your using the 4 set t 21 im not i use 4 set t20 +2set t21

this is me

    "/cast Lightforged Augment Rune",
    "/cast Repurposed Fel Focuser",

Is not working for some reason

Change to “/use Lightforged Augment Rune”,
“/use Repurposed Fel Focuser”,

Works thanks.

Something is wrong since yesterday’s reset. The abilities are not firing when they should. I read that Gween was having a problem with his as well… looking into it.

Just finished a bunch of testing and now cobra shot is going off way too often. I’m removing it from the macro and firing it manually which takes me from 1.4M to 1.5M but that’s still low for my liking. Further tests are required.

I suppose I should just accept it because I sim @ 1.6M but my burst my taken a huge nosedive. Again, more details to follow.

Maybe this is having an effect…

“There is a known issue in WoW with spells that are shared across specs (like Thrash kitty and Bear) they share the same spell name but not the same spell ID. Since we cannot call spells by ID in a macro it gets mixed up swapping specs from bear to kitty and back. I run into this all the time on my bear. Logging out and in or swapping specs a few times usually sorts it out. It’s not GSE, I game macros with Thrash do the same thing.”

Some improvement but still needs more Kill Commands.

Is the macro posted the most current iteration? I’ll give it a test go…

Been messing with Gween’s, which I like, but have on average 30% for every encounter.

I had tried to switch to volley for some testing but that just chews up focus and gives me worse performance than AMoC so I have a newer version that I’ll post tonight

Have you made any more progress on this?

Very nice macro. At first i thought i was going to be focus starved but nope. Works very nice and im using AOTB at the moment. Sustained 1.85m to 1.90 on target dummy. Keep up the great work!

> Have you made any more progress on this?

No - a tank quit wow and I am now playing a monk tank to replace him. We also got H Argus down and basically all decided to take a break and I won’t be putting anymore time into working on the macro.

Maybe next expac but I kind of doubt it, I will likely keep playing a tri-spec in case I’m needed to flip-flop roles.

Tyvm, glad someone got some use out of it.
