Enmity's Macros

regretz · January 20, 2017, 6:54pm

Ok… for me to finally get a handle on the new GSE2… after using earlier versions of GSE2… it caused a lot of issues with my existing macros… made them disappear etc… I ended up deleting my WTF folder… Deleting any Addon associated with GSE altogether… turn off the computer… restart so it clears possibly any hidden stored cached files… installed the new GSE… and everything seemed to work fine… if you already have a macro with the same name… delete the macro then emport it the new one… There are still things I am learning with the new GSE2… a trick here… a trick there… several curses… throwing my hands up… beating my head against the monitor… Minor things…

that’s the best way I can tell you… or you can check the How To Forums… and ask… GSE2 may be a bit buggy still… Hence my hesitation this week to start using it…

Anyone with high ilvl that is using this?How does it perform on Nighthold for you guys?

Currently my ILevel is 882…… we are 7/10 at the moment in Nighthold…. seems to do well…… depends on the fight… if there is a lot of trash carry a few tomes so you can change specs to fit the fight… or a friendly lock to summon you back…… dps as pointed out is gear dependent and micromanagement…. No Macro will carry you through a fight without knowing something about what makes the character work http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/thrall/Enmit%c3%bf/simple [/quote]

Thank you for your time and the info.
I am about to main a DK and currently 869 ilvl.
When you are talking micro management, are we talking like helping the macro by manually hitting procs or more like using the only cd that isn’t in the rotation at right time (SF), or even good targeting?

I am pretty new to Frost DK and have read the Icy Veins guide a lot and can see that all the spells in the rotation is in the macro.

Thank you for taking your time and answering.

this is not my macro it is john metz’s.
i just added a few more oblits

regretz · January 21, 2017, 9:39am

Pretty Much anything john does is right… we bounce ideas off each other… between his macro and my macros there is very little difference in DpS… and with the new GsE2 after getting use to how it works… it actually made putting rotations together pretty easy…
How I write my macros… I read the boards… see what people are saying about builds and rotation ideas… I then take them to the original (GnomeSequencer… <<<probably a wasted effort step now<< test out the rotation idea I have>>>>>Check out the How To’s) having at least a general understanding of how the sequential/gsstatic and the difference helps structure…

I hate giving away all my tricks… but micro manage things like…helping along your macro… PvP for example… before the recent nerfs… dk’s Started performing well again doing some decent damage… getting decent kills you can help your macro along by watching Howling Blast… there are times when being kited you can use howling blast down or when a Demon Hunter is Blur mode… step away back away …Howling blast…
another method to Eek… a little more DpS… you can split your 20ms Macro Key Press into Two Keys which then each key would be pressed instead of 0.020 but becomes 0.010… slip in the second key your Oblit cast…that alone will increase your DpS…a little bit…or edit out things like empower rune weapon…anti magic shell… pop those when you feel the need… or in my case Arcane Torrent as a Belf… can interrupt or give me a bit more runes to continue a frew more oblits or a death strike for a emergency heal…
Mini Macro


EMT macro
#showtooltip
/cast Icebound Fortitude
/cast Death Strike
/cast Death Strike
/Cast Arcane Torrent *Blood Elf*
/cast Death Strike
/cast Death Strike

normally will pop you imediatley back to full health *DO NOT USE Icebound to out of a STUN!


CHASE Macro
#showtooltip
/cast chains of ice
/cast death strike
/cast mind freeze

so using these mini macros you can click them madly while still using your rotational macro… I good idea though is if in need of a heal stop the press of the rotation macro while conserving your heal macro and press it only when needed… keeping in mind if your opponent has some sort of mitigation going and death strike misses your heal will not work…

The above is Examples of Micro Management

The below is the recent Nerfs Since Tuesday *I looked this up… after spending what seemed like 5 min… beating down a Priest over and over and over… he/she would mind control me… bubble… with my arcane torrent… and continual mind freeze still couldn’t kill it… very annoying the difference these rollercoaster nerfs happen in PvP…

so if in PvP and you seem to be underperforming its not the Macro its the following:

All damage specs template primary stat reduced by 5%
All specs template Stamina increased by 10%
Frost Death Knight PvP template Strength reduced to 75% (was 80%).
Frost Death Knight PvP template Mastery reduced to 25% (was 100%), Haste has been increased to 150% (was 100%), and Critical Strike increased to 125% (was 100%)
Breath of Sindragosa’s damage is reduced by 40% in PvP.
Chill Streak’s damage and timing has changed to allow more counterplay from the enemy team:
Chill Streak now deals 3% of the target’s health in damage (was 8%).
Chill Streak now bounces 9 times (was 5).
Chill Streak will now bounce to a target within 8 yards (was 15 yards).
Chill Streak now has a slightly longer delay before bouncing.
Frozen Center’s root now breaks on damage caused by effects other than Frost Fever and Remorseless Winter.
Tundra Stalker’s bonus Frost Strike damage on snared targets is now 15% (was 25%).

Wow, thanks again man for all this info.

I was more thinking around the output dps in Raids.
I am sadly not PVPing at all :(.

Any tips on micromanaging my dps output more than putting the “big” cds separate and check my howling blast?

Thanks again, I don’t know if I would be playing wow at all if it weren’t for TL and your macros. Have a disability on my left hand making me pretty much relying on macros like yours.

regretz · January 25, 2017, 7:10am

People Keep Asking do I have a viable BoS Macro? The answer after much experimentation …NO…
There are a lot of conditions to pull off a decent Rotation… to the point where putting one in as a Lazy Macro seems to me to be practically defeating the macros… I have mentioned micro management and such…
There are ALOT of posts about it… how awesome it is…how not so awesome it is… so I point you to the Forums with a few Cuts and Pastes from a quick…how to…so in my opinion if you are using a lazy macro then using BoS at this time WILL be a NO…

The below is taken directly from the Forum

1.) As long as your timing on “Hungering Rune Weapon” is used with knowledge of the boss fight you will do more single target and or more cleave depending on what you need to do. (2 examples is the Scorpion Fight you can easily cleave adds and boss at the same time if you use proper positioning thus the best of both worlds. Also during the arcane add phase on Spell Blade Aluriel needs heavy cleave aoe dps to get them down fast also a good use of breath rather than single target.)

2.) Stat weights Strength>crit(28-30%)>Mastery(38-40%)>haste(15-18%)=Vers
Explanation
As a Breath Frost DK your highest secondary stat and what is going to pump your dps is Crit hands down. On live I have 31% crit 39% Mastery and 17% haste in ilvl 870 gear I am holding steady at 375k Plus during boss fights and 400k+ sitting on a target dummy for 5 mins. Higher gear and better trinks=way more dmg.

Why Crit?
the more dmg your breath does the more overall dmg you will do also help your remorseless winter deal more dmg as it should have at least a 60% up time if not your probably doing something incorrectly.

Mastery>Haste
This comes down to the talents if you are running Frozen Pulse (as you should prolonged breath spec is trash imo) Frozen pulse will do about 15-20% more damage than your frost strike during a fight. That is freaking huge!!! Also remorseless winter is your third highest damaging ability if you talented Gathering storm (also an absolute must to make this build work) the more mastery you have the more dmg your remorseless winter will do and considering it should have at least 60% up time thats a ton of dmg you are going to gain.

Why is haste the next to lowest stat?
Because we take “Murderous Efficiency” our rune regeneration rate makes up for itself we really dont need all that much haste because of our high frost dmg and crit. anything above 15% and you will have all the regen you need to maintain high dps single target and cleave!

3.Looking into the next 6 months
This Spec is highly gear dependent but in Mythic+ raids and dungeons will do better dmg than the consistency spec by far. once you get enough legendaries to properly manage the spec and have all of your stat weights done this spec will overall be the best spec for frost producing the most single target damage as well as aoe dmg. Though in order to do so you will need to use the legendary helm and the legendary ring to obtain the best numbers.

Not recommended for players who cant manage their runes or runic power
You have to be able to constantly keep tabs on your resources for this spec to work if you frost strike during your breath at the wrong moment your breath will be canceled and goodbye dps. at point you will want to hold obliterates if remorseless winter is coming off of cooldown and RP dump to get max amount of runes will in down time to sink into remorseless winter while it is up to maximize your dmg.

UPDATE 01/31/2017 Original Post Updated As Well…

Ok… a few comments before getting to the meat of the Macro… Reading the boards… I kept hearing about more of a Howling Blast build using the following Talents 3=Murderous Efficiency, 1=Freezing Fog, 1=Ice Cap
PvP Talents Doesn’t matter your preference unless intending crowd control Suggest 3=Winter is Coming then 1/2/3=Volatile Shielding, Permafrost, or White Walker… 3=Gathering Storm and finally 1=Obliteration
So… 3,1,1,3.2,3,1 is the build I am using… Now I play multiple Dk’s on different servers… different realms PvP/PvE… I raid regularly on my thrall DK… Which we are in Nighthold… I am missing my Final boss kill on normal due to Internet being down for about a week Highly Disapointed… but we also are on heroic now and downed the first two bosses on Heroic in Nighthold last night… using this build… World of Warcraft aside from me Dying a lot… my dps was quiet satisfying…
But… my testing DK is Tanaris Enmity… on a target dummy I am holding a steady 425/450K DpS… and in Heroic Dungeons pretty High Bursts… Granted I have the Wrist legendary and the Ring legendary… still I am quiet pleased…

This will be replacing my Enmity Macro as the primary one… with the multi talent macros taking the EnmityI Macro…
I use this macro in PvP as well in PvE environments hence some of the talent selections are Multi talented…

Anyways here it is

Ahh you got the pants I hate you j/k. I gotta ask though with that legendary is it worth putting SF in the macro on CD?

as with HB im wondering if its possible to build something like the old HB spam of ye olde times given the right gear and enough haste and mastery… even though mastery is pants in legion

regretz · January 31, 2017, 9:25am

I would love to get back the old HB spam… this is the closest I have come to making it work… and on all my toons this macro has evenly leveled out depending on item levels… even using them on a level 100 toon… I am currently testing a brand new Dk on tichnodrus server… and still the macro is kicking out decent dps at a low level

I have been thinking on the pre/post macro loop limit… issue… I know there is some way to use that for the casts that you wouldn’t want to continually spam… like ERW and such… I just cant figure out the timing or how you would figure in for instance say a 2 min cool down on ERW… if you could figure out how to get it to go into the first part then after so many rotations reuse it…

For now it’s a bit hit and miss with the functionality of the pre-macro and keypress stuff. fortunately, DKs are ok without it unlike some other classes. Our best options are to either have a CD like ERW left out to be managed manually, like the BoS macro of mine. given an alt function or the fiddly task of weaving it into the middle of a cast sequence so that it fires off after at least 3 obliterates and the runes are not wasted.

Or have 2 macros one with and one without.

After reading all these posts and tweaking all these macro’s I have kinda made one that works good for me. I swap out trinkets and rings to move from aoe to single. Favoring Mast/Hast for aoe and Str/Crit for single. Base starting are 30% crit 20% haste 35% Mast. This of course will change once Teir pieces drop and Vers comes into play. But for starting out is has worked well in all situations. No tomes or talent swapping needed.
