Vengeful Hermit Updated 12/29/22

I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve kind of put aside my DH for now. I hit a brick wall in +14’s were mechanics started to one shot me and there was little I could do about it.

I’ll see where class balance ends in the upcoming weeks.

Been loving this, macro has worked well. Trying to put my own spin on it now since I like using the fiery brand that spreads.

Did a segment on a dummy for just a full cycle of reset (using the hunt for this since it’s my longest CD, as I count meta as a defensive)

The one I’ve edited is the M+ 1.08 version

Details breakdown damage
Ended on 46k, spikes up to 70-80k until the hunt dot & Fel devestation is used pretty much.

Auras:

Talents

Alternative talents with Fodder the flame & Soul Carver, (have to enable soul carver in the GSE macro, disabled by default)

BUkACnvaHJn8GSPD6tpaeczPTBAgkQJJRE0QkAQBkENkkkkkkk0SCSSSoEJBAAAAA

What I’ve changed in the script below iis mostly moving sigil of the flame to the top block path to use it for pull/more often, alongside Soul Carver (disabled/enabled depending on if I spec into it for certain dungeons instead of double fiery brand).

Added consume magic as well as elysian decree, using a mod modifier for them + the hunt.
And swapped around precise sigils to cast at my location, since elysian decree is bugged with precise sigils.

Been tanking with my mates timing 9 keys so far, as we haven’t gone further, and this is with low gear (started tanking m+ with this script at around 365ilevel, ended the night on 377 and we’ve timed the two +9 keys we had with +3. Felt very comfortable to tank with this, healer could mostly dps and keep dps up instead of healing tank at all.

Which ms are you running this macro?

Anyone else having issues now with GSE not working? I used it fine a few days ago. log in today and update ElvUI / AdiBags to set them up, and go into a dungeon and macro is not working. I just stand there casting nothing. It is set to 150MS via Logitech software

ELVUI - is the problem - thats why I got rid of it

We are getting some substantial buffs this Tues so I might be back on the DH train. All of it is passive mitigation which is where we were extremely weak.

I have an idea for another M+ variant if I find high M+ a little less stress inducing.

I run it at 250ms. However what speed you run it at is really dependent on haste and connection speed etc. I recommend testing at 250 and than trying 150 and seeing if it works better for you.

ElvUI is currently version 13.17 which I’ve been using without issue. I don’t use adibags but you can try disabling the addon and than trying it against target dummies.

You can try this to trouble shoot it if the macro cycles but doesn’t cast abilities.

That last link is very outdated. Instead I would suggest this: ActionButtonKeyDown or ActionButtonKeyUp and Why this matters Macro Cycling not firing · TimothyLuke/GSE-Advanced-Macro-Compiler Wiki · GitHub

Also ElvUI seems to randomly change your setup and break things. As it has become so flakes a lot of people are avoiding a lot of pain by simply not using it anymore.

Been using both variations of the macro (M+ and ST Raid), tried a few little changes myself but the main setup seems fine, still working for me up to M+16’s this week on tyrannical (Raging/Storming/Thundering) although its a little intense.

Also fine for HC Raid so far (all bosses) so going to see how it performs on the first few in Mythic, parses seem very gear dependant (Brood/Grimtotem trinket, Eranog ring etc) and at the end of the day, so long as the boss dies and I don’t, I’m not too bothered.

Looks like the Spirit Bomb build is going to be the way to go even on ST bosses however the M+ Macro /Talents don’t perform too well in raid (found out accidently).

Thanks for your work @Hermit hope you feel like coming back after the buff and carry on enjoying DH

Been using the standard macro in 16’s, will give yours a go tonight and edit this comment with an update on how it goes, on training dummies getting about 12k DPS more with your version but will see how the mitigation goes, not sure how ED will work in higher keys since fodder is very valuable but I’ll test and update.

Have sadly not been able to test mine in higher keys as my DH is only 380 ilevel as of yesterday when we played, but did fine in the highest we tried a 13.

From what I noticed the fiery brand build is gonna be more suited for endgame stuff in m+, as the packs die too quickly in th 10-15 range that I’m in to get actual value from the brand spreading.

I get slightly more DPS with decree, but been kind of skipping out on decree due to the issues the game has with decree in macros not working as expected. ( as noted in this thread Elysian Decree Macro "You are in the wrong zone" - Demon Hunter - World of Warcraft Forums)

This issue presents itself with the macro here as well, and I’ve found it a bit easier to just stick to fodder for now until precise sigils are fixed. So I’d honestly advise to stick to fodder for now, just haven’t updated my post on it since still testing around with stuff. :smiley:

But definitely let me know how it goes in your higher keys!

I think it may be because were in tyrannical too currently, mobs will last longer in fortified and higher keys so from tomorrow it should give a clearer picture.

I haven’t noticed an ED issue so long as I cast it externally from the macro however I haven’t been in to all dungeons so might be a zoning thing in certain ones still.

to solve the elysian decree issue: go to shadowlands and change covenant to anything but kyrian, it’s trying to fire your covenant ability instead of the talent

oooh, curious, gonna give this a try, appreciate the tips!

Just gave this a try, swapped to venthyr, still an issue with being in the wrong zone when using precise sigils sadly,

How to add the Green and Purple Swirl back to the CursorTrail.

  1. Go to your Warcraft addons folder. (i.e. C:<Your Warcraft Install Location>\Interface\Addons)

  2. Go into the CursorTrail folder.

  3. Open CursorTrailModels.lua in any text editor.

  4. Search for 1685852.

  5. Uncomment that line and the next six lines by removing the first four characters on each line (the "–~ " part).

Those lines should end up looking like this …

[1685852] = { -- "cfx_warlock_demonboltfel_missle.m2"
Name = kCategory.Spots .. "Swirling, Purple & Green",
BaseScale = 0.025, BaseFacing = 0,
BaseOfsX = 0.0, BaseOfsY = -0.1,
BaseStepX = 3408, BaseStepY = 3150,
IsSkewed = true, HorizontalSlope = 0,
},
  1. Save the changes to that file, and reload Warcraft.

IMPORTANT - You will have to repeat this change after every update to CursorTrail.

that’s pretty much what i ended up doing. a little finicky but its chugging along well.

which version does more healing or better suited for m+?

Can I use one of these macros while leveling my dh? I am now lvl40.

ilvl 345. I can only get to 4-5 stacks on Boulderfist

wich one is the last version?

is this still up to date?
