i’ve been reading for a couple hours now and not really finding a good “help” section on how to use the spell options. What i have found video/written has pretty much put spell here define what it applies to, IE target/self.
That part is simple enough. What is making is complicated for me is spells that channel.
So to understand what I’m after and why i’m trying out the new toys within GSE, i’m after this:
/cast Power Word: Shield
/castsequence spell 1 spell2 etc etc
Castsequence seems to be broke-ish within GSE for now.
For instance if you have
/cast Power Word: Shield
/castsequence spell 1 spell2 etc etc you get spell 1 but the rest fails and then it will just cycle PWS
So i built same thing but used block with nested actions.
As such:
My issue is how do i get it to do the same thing of nochanneling? within this format.
You can’t get nochanneling in that format. If you want nochanneling you need to use macrotext.
Also PWS is on The GCd so you can’t have it and a castsequence of other GCD abilities in the same action. This isn’t a castsequence issue of which there are several, this is a case of it doing exactly what you told it to do. You told it to PWS so everything after that in the same action is ignored.
Rightyo macro text it will be.
Interesting. I could have sworn to be able to place that as a cast above the castsequence and it would reapply PWS as it came off its CD. I’m not sure how GCD would apply in this case other than the time till one can cast command. As I have always understood it GCD is 1 sec for instant and all other are defined. eg 1.4 cast time with haste modifier etc etc. with the exception of certain skills like interrupts which do not share the GCD.
How does that apply to going from one line to the next? Base macro’s used to allow about 4 cast lines till they got wonky or just didn’t work.
Admittedly it’s been a bit since I’ve done any complicated macros but it didn’t appear the rules had changed that much on wow’s docs.
Although reset=target doesn’t appear to work. but that is another discussion.
Also if you can define unit name for target/self and such what is stopping you from adding a condition input box so you can add [combat,nochanneling,ETC] ?
Because they are not valid options for wow’s SecureActionButtonTemplate (google it)
If you look at the GSE GitHub site there is a thing in issues about your castsequence reset= problem and the work around.
For each physical hardware event you can only try to perform one GCD ability. This is an ability that trigger the Global Cooldown. The length of the GCD is 1.5 seconds - the value determined by your haste. This is separate to an abilities individual cool-down however if you have cast PWS and it’s on cool-down well that hardware event is used and any other gcd abilities after it are just ignored by WoW. This isn’t GSE doing it as GSE doesn’t execute your sequence WoW does.
Just because you are ignorant of the rules doesn’t mean they don’t apply.
I see. Thank you for taking the time to answer and point me towards the reset issue.
