So do you recommend the same talents and dual wield for best output and is this best for pve or pvp as well, cause i mostly pvp

86

you can try it in PVP, all of Elfs macros are PVE made.

I’m back everybody, I went back into WoW to start playing again. Firstly I hate what GSE has become, no need to have a coding system for WoW like this.

I am a programmer, and the last thing I want to do is come home and do the same thing.

Now for the macro, I’ve been using it for a while, and it works but wow the DPS is low.

I think the reason the macro is so low is that it’s using Death Strike, also Howling Blast needs to be modded or better yet put up higher.

I have always advocated following the rotations from Icy Veins, and I feel that needs to be done here, and why the DPS is so much lower.

  • Use Remorseless Winter on CD – Check
  • Use Empower Rune Weapon - Check
  • Use Pilar of Frost on CD - Check
  • Using Howling Blast on Rime procs - Not Working
  • Use Obliterate only if you have 4+ runes - Check
  • Use Frost Strike if you have 70+ Runic Power - Check (Remove Death Strike)

Also, it’s highly recommended not to cast Death and Decay (Death’s Due) its just not worth it when it comes to damage compared to Howling Blast, and seeing that Howling Blast does a lot more. In heavy AOE, using Death’s Due does help but in standard raids or M+, it doesn’t really help that much. From my DPS perspective at 255 item level, I’m doing about 450 per DoT of Death’s Due, whereas my Frost Fever is hitting for 2k non-crit.

This means you have more runes available to cast Howling Blast and Obliterate.

Note - Just tested this out and got double my DPS by removing Death Strike and Death’s Due. I don’t know where to put the shift modifier for Howling Blast though.

Glad you see a way to to impove the macro, you should share, in a your own post so people wont confuse it with Elfs, what you made for all to try when you have a chance.

So if you hate GSE now, what are you using. if you found another good Addon, would think others might like to use it, if they dont like using GSE also.

I will share it once I have figured out where to put Howling Blast on a modifer. I haven’t figured that out yet.

As for GSE, I’ve been a member of these forums for years, I want to say since Mists when I created at that point the best Survival Hunter macro during that time, and the highest parsing DPS by a long shot (even more so than normal raiders).

What I don’t like is GSE has turned into a tool made for programmers and developers. When I’m at work working on 3000 lines worth of code daily, the last thing I want to do is create variables and more code.

There isn’t any other addon like GSE, and that’s a fact. I think Tim needs to look into this deeper, and help the program get back to its old days when it was easy to use. Macro authors have left this site, and its partly because of Shadowlands but its also the cumbersome nature of a tool that shouldn’t need to be that cumbersome.
