Shadow Priest - 7.1.5 - GSE 2.0 (High Performance)

Priest Archive Patch 7.0+

Hopefully this gets people up and running again in patch 7.1.5. :slight_smile:

VIDEO:

IMPORTANT:

This macro works in conjunction with GSE 2.0, and has been tested using version v2.0.14. Having said that, fixing problems with the addon are beyond the scope of my abilities.

As for the macro, it occasionally gets modified - as I am always trying to improve its output - so please check back to see if any changes have been made recently. The Edit Log (located at the bottom of this post) will allow you to see what and when changes were made.

To begin using this macro, choose one of the following THREE methods:

METHOD #1 (Import):

  1. Open GS (/gs).
  2. Click the IMPORT button.
  3. Copy and Paste the following code into the editor:
Sequences['SPriest_All-in-One'] = {

Great work as always bro. Anyway we could get a misery version with the shadow word pain removed? Or tell when where to remove it in the code? Any help would be appreciated.

[/quote]

This has already been taken care of…

The line of code in the KeyPress section that reads as follows:

/cast [mod:ctrl,talent:6/2,nochanneling:Void Torrent] Vampiric Touch

…checks to see if you have selected the Misery talent and does away with SWP.

Cheers! :slight_smile:

4

WOW! That is amazing bro. Thanks.

5

Did they remove “shadow word: void”? It comes up red, and I can’t find the spell.

6

They: 1) changed Void Lord to Lingering Insanity, 2) replaced Shadow Crash with Misery (in Tier 6), and 3) replaced Mind Spike with Shadow Crash (in Tier 7); but aside from that, Shadow Word: Void is still available in Tier 1 but requires level 100 now instead of 90 (last I checked).

Cheers! :slight_smile:

Sethadon,

Any way you can convert this to the original GS plz?

8

Great macro! thanks !

9

Nice! Great work again Sethadon !!!

10

Thanks, works great!

Also, love the WA bits :smiley:

11

nice macro for sure. I have a question, am I missing something or is vampiric Embrace and Power Word Shield manually managed?
If I wanted to could I just add /cast Power Word:Shield right after target enemy line
as well as /use potion…

12

Yes, Vampiric Embrace and Power Word: Shield have been purposely left out, as they are a net DPS loss.

If you want to add a potion to your rotation, I would suggest adding it to the KeyPress section and binding it to the ALT key modifier so that it will be cast in tandem with Void Torrent and Mindbender.

As for where to add Power Word: Shield? Probably below the last spell in the sequence, as it would be lowest priority.

Alternatively, you could add these spells to an “Oh sh*t!” type macro that you can spam when your health is low.

It might look something like this:

Sequences['SPriest_Heal'] = {
  Author="Sethadon@Shattered Hand",  
  SpecID=258,
  Talents = "",
  Default=1,
  MacroVersions = {
    [1] = {
      StepFunction = "Priority",
      KeyPress={
      },
      PreMacro={
      },
        "/cast Power Word: Shield",
        "/cast Shadow Mend",
        "/cast Vampiric Touch",
      PostMacro={
      },
      KeyRelease={
      },
    },
  },
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers! :slight_smile:

Hey Sethadon.

Love your macro, it´s awesome.

If you have some time, you dont know what to do with, then i have a idea.

Discipline macro. That would be another great gift, to us who dont get it.

But great work.

Love your shit.

14

I think it should look like this for old GS: hope this helps.

I’m getting really low DPS from this. It keeps interrupting casts with other casts, so a lot of spells aren’t landing. I don’t have this problem with any other macro or toon. Is there an edit that protects the current cast?

16

I have a Razer Orbweaver gaming pad. I have the macro on a button with auto-repeat, .7 seconds. Works well with my Holy macros, my warlock, and my mage. This is the only one where the spells aren’t finishing before another spell starts casting.

17

Mind Flay (MF) and Void Torrent (VT) are the only “channeled” spells in this set, and the [nochanneling:Void Torrent] conditional is ahead of every other spell. Meaning, MF should be the only spell to ever get clipped, which is fine - considering it is only a “filler spell” anyway.

If VT is being clipped then the conditional is not being met somewhere; but where? - I dunno.

Perhaps your auto-repeat setting should be slowed back to .75 or .8 seconds - but this is only a guess.

Please let us know if you find a fix for this issue.

Cheers!

Macro is working fine now.

19

works so good with gse 2.0 so nice

hey guys, … i noticed that the macro is tossing shadow crash behind my priest rather than at the target dumbies. everything else is working nicely
