My Balance Druid Wow Lazy Macro Contribution

[Buenor]

@PitLordKazzy

I am not that familiar with wow macros or the language, but can anyone tell me the purpose of Reset=3

It is to reset that castsequence if you havent touched that “button” in 3 seconds. What i mean with that is that it should be placed on a modifier or something otherwise the macro will “touch that button” repeatedly and it wont really reset, at least that is the theory behind it.

@PitLordKazzy

I added more wraths and starfires because you want to keep dots up but the macro was reapplying them far too much taking up time that could be spent on a wrath

Yeah that is the thing, it is really hard to gate the dots. There isnt really a spell that you normally cast that isnt Wrath or Starfire so it all comes down to your haste and what not if you are making a truly lazy macro. like when you lust or something, if using a macro like

@PitLordKazzy

/castsequence [nochanneling,mod:Alt] reset=3 Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Moonfire; [nochanneling] reset=3 Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Sunfire

Then you will be reapplying the dots alot faster and really wasting the burst windows if you know what i mean. Optimal would be but with more works is to make a side macro that reapplies the dots automatically. you could possibly look into the click stop toolkit and see if you could get that to work properly.

Here is a link to start
And this could help too

It is likely the optimal way to go for a lazy macro and the dots. I no longer have time to invest in this macro, i spent like 5 day or more for hours on end learning the class and trying to figure out a way only to be held back by the rotation and class. So i had to look for another way and then yeah ended up in defeat and made the best one i could. I think it was then later that i learned about the two links i linked above and those could be helpful if worked in properly. I have yet to work with these tools myself though.

I might try doing it Filler, Filler, Dot, Filler, Filler but that might make it awkward dotting at the end of an eclipse.

I think in theory it wouldnt be so awkward to reapply the dots, or at least the empowered dot at the end before the next eclipse. It would in theory squeeze the most dps out of that one dot. That being said you would then need to re write the macro so it doesnt apply it automatically in the next Eclipse but does apply the other being as it is now empowered if you know what i mean. It could be something to look into but probably not something that is so worth looking into being as you are likely more worried about an extra wrath or starfire, and the ap from the dots then the dot its self.

@PitLordKazzy

Having the dots reapply at the start of shifting to starfire or wrath is suboptimal

I only did it that way to get all of the instant casts out of the way and leave the rest for casts. But i never Simmed the macro so i never knew what was the higher DPS, it was only made in theory.

Once again, thank you for the criticism, and thank you for using the macro and hopefully you can boost it to something that will work amazing for you. If only Boomkin was as easy of a class as my Protection Paladin to make a macro for.
