Happy day! I’ve got a test macro that I’m really proud of and I couldn’t wait to show you.

This is the newest take on the “automated” macro. In collaboration with John Metz (who you should already know and love) we’ve come together on a way to make Unholy work on two buttons again.
This macro puts Apocalypse on the ALT key, and other than that there’s nothing else to do. The talents are pretty different, though. In order to meet Frost’s numbers, I had to abandon Clawing Shadows for Unholy Frenzy, and it seems Ebon Fever has returned to it’s hotness of yore. That makes the talents 321??33.
There are a couple of things to note:
*RNG still rules us. You will eventually have 6+ Wounds for Apocalypse, but it can take a while to get there. If you’re lucky enough to have the Death Coil set bonus it’ll get there faster. I tried to get more Wounds faster, but DPS ultimately suffered for it, even though Apoc was fired off sooner. So trust the macro, even if that means you’re later than everyone else in popping your nuke.
*At my best runs I was within 99% of sims using this macro exactly as it is right now. At my worst I was within 90%. After running this over and over again for a couple days now I usually land closer to the 95%-99% side of things. This tells me RNG will save or screw you, but we’ve really come a long way in trying to minimize it and I think you’ll see that.
Please test this and let me know what you think. I’m very happy with it.
