Hey Druss!

Thanks a million for your macros. They work like a charm and I am getting good results. Similar to a few others I had an issue with spenders not being used but a clean reinstall and work on the dummies in Silvermoon showed it working as intended.

The issue occured yet again this morning, efter GSE update and yet again a clean install was needed and it all worked good again.

Its very obvious that a fresh install is needed often when issues occur but its really worth the time spent since I have used other creators SBAs and yours are giving me the best result.

Thanks for your words. This helps people trust the macro and know it works. I’m glad the steps to solve the problem work.

Today on Mythic Vorasius raid:

This looks very promising. Going to have to give your macro a shot.

I’m glad it’s useful for you :slight_smile:

It’s a rotation that wasn’t just mine, we all worked on it together and I think the result has been very good.

@DrussRet is this running at 15% haste? I won’t ask about MS as it not allowed so might DM you about it all and help set up :slight_smile:

227

Hello! In my main message I put that it works perfectly with the 15% cap. It is what I have.

:fast_up_button: UPDATED v5 version and TALENTS are live — see first post :fast_up_button:

I updated the Mythic+ talents, since there’s more AoE now than in lower keys.

Additionally, I made some minor adjustments to both the NOCD version and the v5 macro, specifically to Judgement and Blade of Justice. Reducing the number of repeats (there were two) makes the macro cast spenders slightly more often. It’s been working better for me so far—looking forward to your feedback :slight_smile:

I seem to be having some issue with the no cd macro CTRL is changing my aura for some reason not switching between single target and AOE. Any ideas?

229

In the game, the Ctrl key has some other ability. Look for it in the game’s key list.

230

Found it. What key level would you suggest not using the 30 sec build and using the ES build?

I never use the 30-second talents ever. I don’t like anything. I prefer to use the talents I put in this post

232

hi Druss ty for your work. the macro works amazing but if you can make a no cd single target macro for raids and m+ bosses it will be great cos pressing ctrl for a while sucks :confused:

Hi! It’s already updated the NOCD version so you can use ST/AOE directly. In each macro, also you can switch between AOE and ST with Ctrl.

Good idea for raid, improve the experience. ENJOY! :slight_smile:

The es build is better 12+ when the mobs start living longer but again its a personal opinion. Top runners are running the 1 min build for a longer burst window but most people use 30sec build for delves and lower keys since stuff dies to quick to get the full benefits of the 1 min builds stuffs got to last as long or longer then the burst window

Many people ask me if the macro works with 30-second talents, and the answer is yes. The same macro works with both talent branches and Raid.

I’ve included the 30-second talent for anyone who wants to use it. I hadn’t included it before because I always do more damage with the 1-minute talent. But I’m including it in the post for anyone who wants to use it.

So do you guys run a 30 sec build for m10 and below and 1 min for m11+? trying to figure things out

237

It is used at low levels and to level up the character and delves. At medium and high stone levels it is always better 1min

238

I’m currently running 30 seconds build on all my keys im currently pushing 13s i have yet to reach a point where its beneficial to run the one minute I’ve tried both ways i do more damage with the 30 second build because i have burst in every single pull i have a feeling 15s and above will be the spot it changes
Stuff just doesn’t last long enough to merrit the change yet
Ive got a few timed 13 and i was doing 120k to 140k with the 30 sec build and the 1 min build best run I’ve got 117k stuff just isn’t lasting long enough for the 1 min cd yet thats in the overall

this aligns with my thoughts and what o e seen so far

sims are simmung wrong

every single sim wants ys to run 1 min wings

but 30s is even amd performs it at times

now

the key is to get the st up to snuff

everyones st gse for ret are hitting very low

my ret is 276

and in st raids i parse very poory

ie 1st 2nd and 3rd void bosses ill end up at 76k to 83k

others rets are at 100k to 130k in heroic and mythic

In high-level dungeons, with IL 276 as you have, and in ST situations, using a 30-second timer is trolling.

Check the rotations of top players on warcraftlogs.com and you’ll see they only use a 30-second timer to steal damage from adds, not to damage bosses and most people play for 1 minute. Ultimately, it’s about more abilities, more complex gameplay, and that complexity translates to more damage.

Here’s today the third boss of the mythic raid. Second in damage only to a frost mage.
