GS-E/GS-E2 7.3 FROST

what do you need done on the BoS macro? I have the trinket and bracers legendaries on my DK.

[quote quote=42930]not the same talents and hrw and bos not firing but not bad
[/quote]

yeah mybad from a diff build so talents didn’t change I corrected now :slight_smile:

I fixed, Tested and re-imported the BoSbreath macro. it should be working now

Questions John do you start with BoS and then use the other one until BoS comes off GCD? and what is you key setting on your mouse as in you timing for on these macros?

main thing is I’m curious to see how it performs (if smoother) ultimately id love to have the Ring of necrofanstsia or whatever its called. the 4 piece tier which both of them assist with a BoS build a crap ton.

as I have nothing I can only go so far for now

for the BoS macro do u manually press it or do u have it at 75ms repeat? I have the 4 piece tier from pugging heroic nighthold so i can test it for u on a dummy or normal nighthold, other than that i have only ulitily legendaries and can you explain the mod alt key for HB how would i changed it to my left shift key instead of the alt key??

Ok so I tried it out, BoS and HRW still isnt firing

I have an issue I just dont understand. The Bos macros import great . I put them on my scroll (middle mouse) and as soon as I scroll down the macro opens my followers window. This makes no sense to me, all of your other macros work great this is the only one I just cant figure out what is going on.

took me a while to work this one out. stupid Blizard, if you have any of the follower enhancements. the ones called Horn of winter in your inventory. the game gets confused and thinks you are trying to apply those and opens the follower page. best to remove them from your bags.

Ok I’m running around the 90-75ms mark as far as the macro speed goes.
for openers i havent settles on what I prefer just using the base macro until enough RP then breath it.
or manually fire off 3 oblits then breath.
when I get a chance to look at it again I may add a triple oblit sequence to fire off first in the Breath macro
if out of combat. to kick things off. but at this stage everything is rough and put outthe to eas off on some of the pressure from the community :slight_smile:

To change it to shift replace [mod:alt] with [mod:shift] be aware though assigning to shif or ctrl has mixed results and often does not work dut to being assigned to other things.

HRW is not in the macro and has to be manage manually due to the timing it was hard to manage in a macro.
originally it has the Mod function as well but as only alt works for me i gave that to HB instead.

John BoS sometimes goes off and sometimes it doesn’t fire at all, is there anyway to fix this?

i was going to say the same thing as as Fu Hong Nie in my testing i had to manually press breath for it to go off the rest of the spells go over without a problem just Breath.

Hmm I noticed this too just gimme some time to look into it.
As while I can get it to fire more reliably, it can fire too often meaning that if BoS is active when it fires it actually cancels the effect :frowning:

So wouldn’t it be better to leave it out the macro and to manually fire it off? What’s the difference between the BoS macro and the one when it’s on cooldown?

you could, the difference between the two is no rp spenders ie Frost strike, and HB has been reduced back to procs only to save runes for Obliterate.

But the idea and I guess the expectation from many is for the macro to cover as much as the rotation as possible
as you can see the BoS mechanic throws a spanner into everything then and why its been giving Enmity and I some Grief.

that said i have an idea i want to try but will have to wait until i return from work

OK I have fixed the BoS issue (crosses fingers) and for now I have updated it on page 16
https://wowlazymacros.com/forums/topic/gs-ptr-dual-frost/page/16/

I tested it 6 minutes so 3 CDs of BoS and it worked each time.
if I can get that locked down I can then shift my focus to the base rotation and see if I can tidy it up and remove the clunk from it

then i will add to op and maybe get it added to the HP addon.

can wait to test this out i will let you know if i have any problems i’ll let you know. i should be able to play in a few hours

[quote quote=42926]OK now below is a BOS I have been bashing my head against. it is a little rough around the edges. but can work The thing is though it consists of 2 macros, one is a rotation which is a variation on one of my early Oblit builds adjusted for the different talents. and the other is the Breath rotation.
Things to note with the breath rotation when this fire off I will keep HoW on CD but Hungering Rune Weapon you have to manage yourself. usually as soon as you see 0-1 runes up fire it off. Howling Blasts are added as a Mod Function by holding alt when Rime Procs. results Will vary
I manage to keep it active for 50seconds give or take 10 seconds. note also I lack a frost legendary and only have 1 tier piece atm.
When not active using the other rotation. like a said its a slight variation of my Oblit minus a few frost strikes so you can still do a bit of DPS and have 60%-100% rp for when you can breath again. HoW is also in thre on CD to help smooth out the rotation a little.
I won’t update the OP for now as I’m not 100% on it and needs testing and feedback at least to iron out kinks though it would be awesome if i had the gear on my DK for something more optimal.

you have horn of winter in it, but the talent isnt selected , hungering rune and bos not firing

i changed to horn of winter that is firing off

Can u tell us the tallents cuz in the macro u use horn of the winter but in the talents for second u have 2 ?

Your bos macro is working well!
Just 2 suggestions, can you make in a way that it will not cast horn of winter when Hungering rine weapon is active? otherwise we end up capping and bos will stop?
And on your macro you have wrote the talents 3223232, but i guess the correct ones are 3323232!
Keep it up the good work

I corrected the talents. I’ve been adjusting talents around as I test as there is some scuttlebutt about taking frozen pulse. and I must have had that talent chosen still when I posted.

No I’m not going to remove Horn of winter, first after more testing I never lost BoS from capping RP whether from HoW or even Oblit strikes.

An alternative is you could try just removing the HoW line from the macro or replace it with this
/cast [nochanneling:Hungering Rune Weapon] Horn of winter
which should skip Horn of winter while HRW is active
