Hi, I am new here. After spending many hours messing around with GSE trying to mimic a rotation for single target, I have failed miserably. Spells are not casting at the correct sequence and etc. Sometimes it will also just do nothing and stall. If anyone can help and give me a few pointers it would be greatly appreciated. The rotation that I was attempting to mimic is:

1 - Demonic Empowerment
2 - Demonbolt
3 - Shadowflame
4 - Doom & Felstorm
5 - Doomguard
6 - Call Dreadstalkers
7 - Demonic Empowerment
8 - Shadowflame
9 - Demonbolt
10 - Hand of Gul’dan
11 - Demonic Empowerment
12 - Thal’kiel’s Consumption
13 - Shadowflame
14 - Rinse and Repeat

    This is what I came up with:

Sequences[‘DemoST’] = {
author=“Test”,
specID=266,
version=24,
source = “Local”,
helpTxt = “Talents: 2211332”,
icon=‘INV_MISC_QUESTIONMARK’,
lang=“enUS”,
PreMacro=[[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/petattack [@target,harm,exists]
/cast [nopet] Summon Felguard
]],
“/castsequence [combat] reset=target Hand of Gul’dan, null”,
“/castsequence [nochanneling] Demonic Empowerment, Demonbolt”,
“/cast [nochanneling] Shadowflame”,
“/cast [nochanneling] Felstorm”,
“/cast [nochanneling] Summon Doomguard”,
“/castsequence [nochanneling] Call Dreadstalkers, Demonic Empowerment”,
“/cast [nochanneling] Shadowflame”,
“/castsequence [nochanneling] Demonbalt, Hand of Gul’dan, Demonic Empowerment”,
“/cast [nochanneling] Thal’kiel’s Consumption”,
“/cast [nochanneling] Shadowflame”,
PostMacro=[[
]],
}

couse when u copy that u cant straight paste it into gs-e gives alot of weird texts and stuff :S so i had to rewrite it my self into the macros folder :wink:

You can try this one. I came up with something similar based on Simcrafting. The reason things casting out of sequence for most casters is due to cast time vs click time.

You’re clicking faster than your spells can cast so will go out of sequence. Unfortunately Demonology Warlocks are a PITA to make a decent macro for. You will need to slow your click time to around 2800ms to account for cast time, animation, lag and spell queue.

This is what i started and it works but needs a little more tuning and probably more playing with macro delays.
I am in no way saying you should use this but it will give you an idea…

Warning… this is a long sequence.

haha damn that macro ! :slight_smile: i will give it a try :smiley:

6

i can tell u 1 thing this is the best macro i ever tryed for demo wlock :slight_smile: if u can improve it somehow would be great but i dont think u can its working very good thanks alot

7

Just don’t spam the hell out of it fast, keep it nice and slow. You can probably net better results by just pressing the key manually near the end of each cast

8

i always press manual :slight_smile:

9

i mean i have struggled alot to stay up in dps so the party dont kick me thats a sad thing that locks depends so much on gear :confused:

10

why dose make the macro skip the spells when u press fast is the big question :S

11

Cast time, animation and spell queuing

You’re not finished casting by the time the next spell comes up, might try again thn decides to skip it to the next selected spell.

Not all classes are like this. Mages and Warlocks are, to an extent Elemental Shamans might be too.

Sadly DemoLocks are not a priority based caster

I had an epiphany today regarding click vs cast speed, so i tested it out on my mage macros and it worked out, well i think.

12

Please share your testings for mage! Can it help out demo locks?

13

I have a set of Fire Mage macros already that i reposted today, are you looking for a different spec?

14

[quote quote=34512]why dose make the macro skip the spells when u press fast is the big question :S
[/quote]

Because that is exactly what GS-E was designed to do - to move on in the case where the spell or action you were attempting is not available.

15

Anyone interested in seeing more rotation based macros like this?

16

Yes plz that could be nice Cymiryc :slight_smile:

17

Aright,

I am going to try another Demo Warlock talent list soon, Destruction and also an Ele Shaman since they receive little to no love at the moment :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll probably aim them more for casters at the moment and see how it all pans out.

18

For my understanding, I’m using a razer orbweaver set to 0.50, is it too fast for this macro? Do you think 0.90 would work?

19

very cool cymiry, look foreward to that :slight_smile: maybe the destruc one with Havoc :slight_smile:

20

yeah Destro needs looking at as whats on the PTR at the moment is very interesting with Destro . Big changes with talents and more mobile with a root!!
