GS-E/GS-E2 7.3 FROST

Death Knight Archive Patch 7.0+

ok for those that are thinking of going to an Obliteration /Runic Attenuation build.
This should help

"/cast [combat] Remorseless Winter",
"/cast [combat] Empower Rune Weapon",

}

I am still undecided if taking Icecaps over Avalanche, but in testing the difference was negligible on my DK to the point it did not matter either way, this macro has actually come full circle as it was very close to the PTR pre-patch macro. though better tuned this yielded a 60-100k or more DPS increase on raid targets, while AOE it won’t be as high as the frost scythe build it is still pretty decent. try it out and let me know how it goes

It’s taking time to start

10 seconds to start :confused:

hmm not sure what you mean by that could you elaborate?

Removing Empower Rune Weapon causes (macro) it to not work

Try the one below its the same but with EMP removed, i just tested myself works fine

Have you been using your macro on the heroic raids or mythic raids? How are you parsing dps wise?

107

Unfortunately, I Tank in raids for now so I don’t get a chance to see, :frowning: though I did do a full Clear of Karazhan a day ago in frost to test the macro 863 gear I was pulling 320-350k on single bosses and 2+ mobs i could get well past 500. For perspective in the same gear with the machinegun macro I would do 200-250k on singles but AOE I could blow past 1 million on packs of trash.

108

If it does not start at the beginning the macro does not work

109

So, what’s your stance between your DFST and Oblit macros, John? Prefer one over the other?

110

The oblit marco needs some fine tuning, Enmity’s oblit macro seems to be pulling more dps

Personally, I use the DFST build when in 5 mans and some Mythics. and my Oblit in raid situations where my DPS can be focused. To that end though I am at some point going to look back at it and see what I can improve it a touch.

while my aim is not to create macros in a competitive sense. but rather for player ease and at least be competitive to some degree. I’ll bite but. important details such as how much of a difference. is it constant ie 10k more all the time. I may try myself if time, though busy on PTR strying to stay ahead of the curve so o have something ready for the next update if needed. but thanks for the heads up :slight_smile:

112

I’m seeing around a 50k to 70k difference I tested it on a target dummy too, and your macros are great, you should make a competitive macro for us that don’t have time to practice the rotation for hours on end but would still like to do mythic raiding. Your marcos work amazing in mythic +s

113

So I spent way more time than I wanted tuning this.
one thing is though is I am at the characters statistical limit. by this I mean taking the DPs from a flawless
sim of my character on a dummy for 5 min and then going in game and testing the macros in a similar environment
I can’t get more out of my character without gear upgrades. which has me on average about 10k dps less then max possible. so any adjustments made would only result of a swing of 2k dps on average.

In short, I have hit a wall based on the limits of my actual character. and while Fu was stating a difference of 50-70 k difference in my oblit macro and Emnity’s. on my character its was a difference of only 10k.

below is my tuned version where I have squeezed more dps to the point it does not matter what macro you use. It either did more or the same or less.

"/cast [combat] Frost Strike",
"/cast [combat] Obliterate",
"/cast [combat] Remorseless Winter",
"/cast [combat] Empower Rune Weapon",
PostMacro=[[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead
]],
}

changes made, moved obliteration to pre macro and replaced it with a howling blast,
added more Oblits and FS as the only differnce I could see was Enmity’s could get more off in a 5 min window.

Hey John… I have been dinking with a breath build… but using the GSStaticpriority seems to be hosing it… Mostly for now PvP… But what I have noticed is on start up the breath last for maybe 5 to 10 seconds… but as more things are happening in a BG/RBG/Arena it will fire off lasting for well over a minute… Its almost like a Roulette Wheel… Round and round you go… take a chance and maybe it will blow… so I have done a ton of reading to the point my understanding of The GSS is when it fires an ability it will restart at the beginning again… on one page…then on another page it seems to say different… so anyway the moral of the story is… I am now doing sequential and seeing if I can force things more my way…I may do this with my original Macros as well… I seem to get more DPS going back old school even… which is another option I am looking at… Like you pointed out in a earlier post… The more sloppy you have it… the more damage it seems to run…vs… when everything is smooth running you start lagging behind… really weird…I am mostly wondering what are your thoughts or opinions?

OK i have ran and ran the the macros from this site for a long time but for some reason the exp the Hunter and DK dps mac’s are giving me hell. I would really be thankful if anyone could take the time to /w me in game or add me and give me a hand figureing out wow at 870+ my dps is at like 200k dps. I have tried setting razer synp to diffrent speeds and nothing works. I know these macs put out way more then that this is just 1 time i am stumped. I have tried everything that i could think of any help would be welcome

@Nolimitz

Try this on The EnmityII Macro… at StepFunction = GSStaticPriorityy replace it with StepFunction = Sequential, let me know if it helps… I don’t want to tell you to do it to John’s Macro… but I am always open to experimentation… anyways let me know… I am calling it a night but I will check the boards on the morrow

can track me down in game im easy to find, Memnokers is the DK name and i think the only one in the world lol
happy to walk you through it.

@ Enmity
yeah I had a hard time getting a decent breath one also before my HDD failed, a day ago. though i have wow running ive lost a bit of progress and dont want to dl the PTR again from scratch.

sadly it seems that the [mod:] [nomod] functions only work on single casts not a cast sequence which sucks as
I was trying to get a set up where it would do a standard rotation then holding alt would weave in the breath
and attacks to keep it goin. perhaps devise a 2 button macro I guess.

most my macros I try to run in sequence. as cast sequences perform better.

119

Well with wow re-installed and I have come to terms with all the info I have lost including my most recent macro builds, I have decided to go back to basics,
so below is my Basic priority macro. that puts out some serious numbers consistently. well for me at least.

What is great about this is it keeps things very simple for the user to change if needed.
all you need to do is swap abilities around with the highest priority given to the first line.

120

Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn’t an “optimal” rotation not include spells like Pillar of Frost, which is a mobility CD? The same with Remorseless Winter. Is it not feasible to make a macro that’s essentially:

“/cast [combat] Obliterate”,
“/cast [combat] Frost Strike”,
“/cast [combat] Obliteration”,
“/cast [combat] Empower Rune Weapon”,
“/cast [combat] Howling Blast”,

Again, sorry for the uninformed question and thanks in advance for any education!
