I’ve been updating a lot of Elf’s macros, and this is one I wanted to share that my wife uses.
With Dragonflight, Fire Mages have 3 or 4 different builds that are very high performing. Some involve more AOE and also use Hypothermia as well.
This build is a bit different but closer to the standard Fire Mage. This is known as the Ignite Cleave build, in which Fire Blast will spread Ignite damage to 4 other targets. For this build to be successful, you will need to improve Mastery more than any other secondary stat.
As with all my macros, please run this at 100 ms if you use hardware emulation like iCUE, and Synapse but if you are using software emulation like AHK, please run this at 250.
v1 - DF Update, removed Flamestrike from macro. The shift key is still used for Pyro.
v2 - Updated with Stopcasting code (Thanks @Baelzebub for the fix) also added Flamestrike, as Ignite Cleave is not very powerful at the moment.
On my Mage I use this, my wife is much better at playing her Mage than I am, but I wanted to stick with an old-school style. Though it sucks that Flamestrike is gone, I guess this is the new style Blizzard is envisioning as I am seeing this in other classes too.
My item levels suck I think it is 180, I don’t play my Mage a lot. My wife’s is 284. @Elfyau had Combustion added into the macro, you could manually control it but in Shadowlands it was on a much longer CD, whereas in Dragonflight you now want to cast it in every fight whether it’s Single Target or AOE as it empowers your spells now.
In keypress you might want to add:
/stopcasting [mod:shift]
before the pyroblast. This way it will cancel any spell being cast and fire Pyro when it’s on instant cast rather than waiting when you hold the shift key.
That is a good idea, the only reason why I don’t is because of lag and how spell queues work. But if you want to add it might be helpful, for me I play on a server that is very close to my home location, so I don’t have to worry about the lag.
Thanks for the fix, I added that to the macro, took a while to get it working but got it working to actually stop cast, which actually makes the rotation flow better I’m updating the OP.
“I’m gonna put this out in here and soon on WLM. please don’t ask if there a level 70 update soon. let the man enjoy the game at his pace and he will get them out as he gets to them. if you want something between 61-70, then edit the macro yourself. Elfyau got RL (his son and his health) he has to worry about first, then ACTUALLY trying to have fun in the game himself, then the Macros. Thank you for your time.”
All of the original macro creators do a great job. All i do is 3M them, make them better, after the original creation is built. I can’t create code from scratch but i can see afterwards, due to the original creation, what would help.
Saying that…fuck all the people saying “WHERES THE LEVEL 70 “take your pick of class” AT?”
Elf and Moon are a bit more politic than me but nah. Fuck you. If you want a 70 macro and it isn’t out yet then either make one yourself or wait. As it stands this is a solid macro. 1%? Well, hell no! Good enough? Hell yes.
Some people here know that I have no filter, and honestly, my macros are more targeted toward the end game, and with all the blizzard updates to classes, it’s hard to make adjustments to the macros, or rotations.
Also right now with raids and m+ being delayed by a week than normal we macro authors have to patiently wait to see what works and what doesn’t. I do this in my everyday life too but decisions without data are like taking a shotgun and doing a spray and praying it hits something.
I will mention that I will make two versions, one with Ignite Cleave and one with Flamepatch. Both are very viable builds and work very well. From my testing, the Flamepatch build will do more DPS in general, but on bosses, Ignite Cleave works best.
No worries, was just wondering if you or your wife had hit 70 and had a full talent tree. I went for all passives to fill it out, since I have no clue on what a mage does.
