I am currently on 5.2 PTR and am trying to get this macro to work but it casts more mind flays than in the macro. I and only using 2 mindblasts before Devouring Plague because I want to create more coverage Mind Flay (Insanity). Any help would be great.
Uno just remove a Mind Flay until it works for you - by rights it will only cast as many as you put in. I did notice upon testing Insanity that Mind Flay acted differently, not as smooth for rotation. Mindbender and Insanity are on the same talent tier so you can replace that with Shadowfiend.
I tested Insanity thoroughly comparing damage to my Mindbender build and my Mindbender build does more top end damage and the same bottom end damage as the Insanity build so am still sticking with my 5.1 build.
I am actually quite disappointed about this new spell, really thought it would be better.
I found what does not work is the Mind flay (insanity). After you cast Devouring plague macroed Mind flay becomes unrecognized (however it still casts) because it is now Mind flay (insanity) but when insanity wears off it casts the last of the Mind flays in the macro and we lose our 4 count of flays in the macro. Our nice neat 4 count turns into a 6 count and dots fall off.
How ever I do agree with you on the Mindbender and its always consistent but.
I still am curious about how to tackle this problem though, I have never seen this.
insanity is actually far better dps, but does not lend itself as well to macro’ing due to the fact that it MUST be hit, on CD soon as a 3 orb devouring is on your target. So for those unable to do that, Mindbender is indeed alot easier to utilize.
