I'm not dead yet! Macro Madness
2010-02-26
Okay, as with conversations in other threads I decided to test how 'dead' macros were. It's true, the old shot rotation macros are toast (R.I.P).
That does not mean that macros are useless though. In fact, I did some testing last night and found out a really nice shot overlay. What I mean by overlay is that Autoshot is unlinked from the specials and they overlay it. It doesn't clip any more. The only clipping I encountered was latency induced. Beware of latency based issues!
So, macros you say? Well, try these:
The highest dps macro overlay I tested surprised me, especially with all the bad press I was reading about it, maybe it's a level thing (I'm only 70!)-
showtooltip Aimed Storm
/cast Rapid Fire
/cast Aimed Shot(Rank 9)
/cast Steady Shot(Rank 2)
(Insert Kill command and your favorite finishing stuff here like error clearing, etc.)
This macro resulted in 950-1050dps on the 70 target dummies in IF. That's a jump of about 200dps on average for me.
Next down the list was my 'mana sucker' however, it took a long time to burn through my mana bar-
showtooltip Mana Dump
/cast Rapid Fire
/cast Aimed Shot(Rank 9)

Spellsteal needs to be about half that again to make it an offensive ftor in Arena. Mages aren't mh more than utility at this point anyway s,c, snares, bit of KB burst)--would be ne to add a little spammable Spellsteal to this.
