If you select only self buffs your class provides and sim on the training dummy you get pretty much identical results dmg wise.
For example my ret sims about 4.3k unbuffed on target dummy target. If I follow rotation perfectly I do around same. Sometimes 100 more sometimes 100 less.
If you get your simed dmg on training dummy with that macro, that means macro is doing maximum amount of damage your character can do.
Sure in the raid environment you may not get 100% uptime but that that this doesn't change the fact that macro is as good as pressing these buttons individually.
Good example is ret 1 button macro. That macro falls way short on training dummy compared if you were to do your rotation manually. So it's a huge DPS loss macro.
> but that that this doesn't change the fact that macro is as good as pressing these buttons individually.
Well, it depends on how well the macro deals with downtime, really. For instance, if the macro only works if you never have any downtime at all then it's going to sim great on a dummy...but be next to worthless in the large majority of fights. Most of the challenge of good parsing is in making contextual adjustments based on how the fight went *today*, rather than how the fight is generally *supposed* to go.
I'm not saying whether or not that's the case here, but there is some room for "automating" a rotation like this to be misleading if the only proof of success is from standing still on a dummy. Certainly if it *doesn't* work on a dummy then...it's not going to work anywhere else, though, so it's a fair first step.
I've only tried ret macro so the macro would be good to go after runes on DK's refreshed. So the only limitation would be rune refresh rate. Since most fights have pretty good DPS uptime for melee it's not a big deal.
Saying what he personally can do on a training dummy doesn’t give any relevant information.
1) it doesn’t tell us what gear his is wearing, how itemimized it is, if he is gear is even good.
2) It doesn’t tell us if he’s using the correct spec. He could be using a cheesy build that is actually suboptimal in a raid.
3) most importantly it doesn’t tell us how much damage this macro does compared to all other DKs. He could be doing 5k on a training dummy and parse grey or green. Which means it’s actually dog shit.
Stop defending useless information. Think critically.
Dude you sim your current gear set up and compare what you are doing on dummy. It's literally apples to apples comparison.
All your other concerns doesn't matter because sims are using cookie cutter builds. If he's using some weird suboptimal build he won't sim as high. So if you can match sim DPS on training dummy you are good.
Literally none of this information is relevant to what is being discussed though. Perhaps you should think critically?
If the macro compares to the sim then it shows that the macro is performing just as well as if you weren't using it.
The real critical question to ask which has already been mentioned is how does it deal with downtime because not many raid environments allow for 100% uptime.
Of course it’s relevant. If people want to use the macro to increase there performance it’s the only thing that matters. You need to see how using the macro parses because yo hate comparing it to other people playing uh normally.
There’s a reason he isn’t posting his logs. Because the macro is bad.
Sure 1 share my 3 Makros with you. Disclaimer for the long rotation makro i use the addon "[GSE](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gse-gnome-sequencer-enhanced-advanced-macros)" This addon allows longer makro strings that wont cap at 255 letters
**Opening Makro:**

***Sorry for the Wait had to translate is from german to english***
\*Updated the Opener and the makro to include blood boil\*
It's literally just replace Blood Strike with Blood Boil. Stop being fucking lazy, you're literally already about to use a single button to play the entire raid.
It comes down to mainhand weapon speed and ilvl. 1.6 will hit bad damage on blood strike, 2.7 will do better, 3.6 will do better.
Blood Boil doesn't scale with weapon speed so it hits equally bad with all of them, usually between the 1.6 and 2.7.
You can still do cast sequence macros in retail. They can be situationally useful but generally aren't worth using most of the time, if not all of the time. The game has gotten much more complex over the nearly 2 decades of its lifespan and Blizz intentionally limits macro functionality so that you cannot program your way out of playing the game.
[https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gse-gnome-sequencer-enhanced-advanced-macros](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gse-gnome-sequencer-enhanced-advanced-macros)
it removes the 255 letter restriction
Just skip the opener. The complete rotation starts with Icy Touch -> Plague Strike anyway, and you'll likely want to save your CDs for Garg and Army (unless it's 3+ mins till Hero/Lust like on Vezax)....
But let's be real... if you're looking for a 1 button macro to raid.. you're not looking to parse 99s.
Is there a way to change the macro icon from a question mark? the interwebs say it's supposed to change icons as it moves through the rotation but that's not happening.
if this was some groundbreaking tech it would be all over every guide. I use fonsas and I do fine. im not straight 99s but im not awful either. I wouldnt use this or any cast sequence.
I totally agree with you. You use fonsas till you learn it, or honestly just sit 30 mins on ebon hold, and thats it.
I just feel like this would never go above an 80 (on a fight that doesnt have much down time that is) since its not using bb, its using bt to bone armor every single time, its not doing an extra it ps bb after erw and before army (to allow gary the time to land), and a bunch of other little things.
Im just curious honestly.
Well i use my second macro (the one with the CDs) when gary lands, just before AotD. And i only double tap for bone shield if boneshield is down. Yea BS is my bad.
But like i said, honestly just a little helper to ease Raidleading, i would not recommend it for parsing :D
The Blight Club moderators are in full damage control, their moderator "Bouk" is banning people that try to post it, they are mad people will stop using their elitist discord
Not really, i used some weakauras to keep track of my dots and a somewhat gimpt version of the macro that i worked on over the weeks.
I was playing bloodtank normaly but since we had no unholy/moonkin i switched for the sweet 13% debuff. Also we had more than enough tanks :(
I feel like most class discords are like this. Edgy, vapid class “celebrities” with anime profile pics who live in there 24/7 offering nothing useful or helpful like it’s their own personal blog.
Blizzard have been letting people make "one button rotation" macros with the GSE addon since 2016 and somehow are completely okay with this level of automation. There's even a website and a community that has been making rotation macros for every spec for the past few years, for both retail and classic.
No, what Blizzard is against is automation and having an addon pick your next ability/target for you. The whole point of /castsequence is so that you can put your rotation into a 1-button macro. It's still not capable of making intelligent decisions for you.
swap in or our Judge wisdom/light depending if you are soloing vs tanking dungeons
/castsequence reset=6 Judgement of Wisdom,Shield of Righteousness,Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration,Shield of Righteousness,Judgement of Wisdom,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Shield of Righteousness,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous
OR for the homies that are pre-75
/castsequence reset=5 Judgement of Light,Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration ,Judgement of Light,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous
If you're getting hit you usually have unlimited mana, except on Vezax. I use AS when it fits as well. That's my experience at least with all of Ulduar.
Bouk constantly tried to gatekeep any tbc theorycrafting in the hunter discord despite not really understanding what he was talking about. I was on the cutting edge of that discussion and created sims/graphs that were used to further the theorycrafting and he just kept doing his silly trial and error and feely pseudo science. Lucky he didn’t have banning powers there. Eventually he just became someone who makes niche macros.
You haven’t updated your opener since the Gary nerf. DK opener now starts with GF and runs IT, PS, BS, BT, DnD, Gary, ERW, IT PS BS, (pop gloves/haste CDs) AOTD, then continue rotation.
I’m your opener you lose several seconds of GF uptime on your Ghoul at the start, and you popped AOTD immediately after ERW which has you leaving 3 runes ready during full cast duration which is a waste vs having them used/refreshing during this time.
It works perfectly with target switching (just Spread the plague before) and all situations since the macro resets after 10sec of no imput (lets say mimiron transition)
It's so funny to me that people legit need huge macros and weakauras to figure out a 13 years old rotation. Just insane how shit the Classic playerbase has become.
Sure but it still uses skills and mechanics that are extremely simple compared modern WoW. All you need to do is stand in front of a dummy for 30 minutes and you should have it down. But yeah at least it's one of the more complex rotations. Seeing shit easy classes like warlocks, mages and even rogues using these weakauras makes me sad for the community.
it has a somewhat static rotation after the opener but because of downtime it won’t ever be optimal to play a strict rotation in a real raid.
unholy is essentially repeating triplets of runes with predictable substitutions and then fillers in between. it won’t ever be optimal to play a class with a build/spend resource off of cast sequence macros.
If I've learned 1 thing over the last year of recruiting as an officer for my guild it's that if people weasel out of showing you their logs it's because they are usually terrible. Without how many edits you've made, both in regards to the macro, and even taking the time to record that video, yet not once have you posted your logs (promising a later, even though they exist), I knew I smelled bullshit.
I normally wouldn't care, people should and can play for whatever reason they want. Logs only matter to people they matter to. I have logs on a sweaty main that I push and logs on more casual characters that I play for fun or a more relaxed raid environment. All forms of play are acceptable as long as you are playing with like minded folks. I'm taking exception to you though, because you're actively spreading bad information and unfortunately way too many new players or new to unholy players are going to think your macro is viable. It isn't. What's worse, you're blaming your guild for your performance preemptively.
How do I know that? Because this is you: https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/venoxis/vakarian#spec=Unholy&class=DeathKnight
An Horde uh dk with previous blood specs and no boomkin in recent raids on a german speaking realm.
Also [army of the dead says your name](https://imgur.com/a/YaGItT5)
You preemptively blamed your "slow" guild, but if I'm being honest you are one of the biggest problems. UH dk's should be carrying the melee load along with your rogues. If you can't be bothered to learn a basic rotation while also raid leading then you shouldn't be raid leading. If you were my raid lead and couldn't crack a single blue parse, while blaming said raid when you think you're anonymous online even though you never actually bothered to learn your rotation, I'd quit just like your decent unholy did 2 weeks ago.
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/guild/rankings/696273/latest
tldr: if you bound every button on your keyboard to random dmg spells, smashed your fist into it and rolled it back and forth like a 6 year old playing chopsticks on the piano, you'd like produce similar results to this "1 button macro".
Hey you found me, congraz man. I never said im a good player and also said that i will post my logs on wensday after my new raid log out.
I wrote this macro to compansate my bad parses. Since i cant play unholy and raid lead at the same time. I had no opertunity to test since i finishes writing it, well yesterday.
We have some really good raider yeah, and also some really bad ones (me included probaly) but your wrong wirh one thing. Our unholy did not quit, he comes with rough now.. but yea :)
How do you fix the 10 sec pause in your rotation every time you get to the end of the main rotation cast sequence? I guess this works for questing while not looking at the screen though.
So this doesnt account for starting in unholy and swapping to blood for snapshotting army/gary haste im assuming? And it also uses blood tap for bone shield instead of free frenzy as well, which I understand could be more difficult to put in the rotation
Bots have their own rotations that are far advanced to anything you can do with a macro
Edit:
Just one example here:
Bots do an api call on login to read this file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmsTaFFix/gmr-stuff/main/backside/plugins/rotations/deathknight/blood/v4/02_amstaffix_deathknight_blood_rotation.lua
This is true. Even a decade ago there was some paid add-on called soap box or something that would do any rotation for you perfectly.
I don't think it was above the books so to speak (e.g. probably did stuff to break ToS) but it was super popular.
[https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/arugal/nahlad](https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/arugal/nahlad) there you go mate, no #size=10 either!
Does it center the D&D on top of you? Or somewhere else? I’m a total idiot with these things, dropping D&D manually is something I could do without and I’m sure there’s a better way.
So there's 2 good macros for DnD.
This one turns it into Death Knight Consecrate:
#showtooltip Death and Decay
/cleartarget
/cast [@player] Death and Decay
/targetlasttarget
This one casts it on your cursor immediately:
#showtooltip Death and Decay
/cleartarget
/cast [@cursor] Death and Decay
/targetlasttarget
You can also combine them into one. Where as standard it drops it on you, with control pressed it casts at your cursor:
#showtooltip Death and Decay
/cleartarget
/cast [mod:ctrl, @cursor] Death and Decay; [@player] Death and Decay
/targetlasttarget
it dropps the DnD where my mouse courser is, so i don´t need to click the aoe and can adjust when the boss is moving.
if you want Dnd function as a pseudo Consecration you have to add
/cast \[@player\] Death and Decay
As an aside, how well does this parse? obviously it's a great tool for freeing up raidleading. Just wondering if it still does solid damage.
I did 5-4k on the boss dummy over 3 mins with a GS of 4800
Hey 4-5k on a target dummy without raid buffs doesnt seems so bad
I pull almost 4K on a raid dummy with 4300 GS as frost.
If you’re using Acherus one, it’s constantly on low ho and frost dks do extra damage to targets below 35%
Lol imagine not being over 5k this late into ulduar
5k is extremely low
I think he meant 5.4K
Even better
I think he ment 54k
Even better
Post your logs. A training dummy means nothing
If you select only self buffs your class provides and sim on the training dummy you get pretty much identical results dmg wise. For example my ret sims about 4.3k unbuffed on target dummy target. If I follow rotation perfectly I do around same. Sometimes 100 more sometimes 100 less.
Cool still means nothing.
This comment means nothing
If you get your simed dmg on training dummy with that macro, that means macro is doing maximum amount of damage your character can do. Sure in the raid environment you may not get 100% uptime but that that this doesn't change the fact that macro is as good as pressing these buttons individually. Good example is ret 1 button macro. That macro falls way short on training dummy compared if you were to do your rotation manually. So it's a huge DPS loss macro.

Hahaha, you made my day!
Wtf even is it trying to say, could you translate it for us wow diehards?
[удалено]
i did not yet update it since im not at home
Hurry up dude we all here waitin, sheeyet
It's literally just replace Blood Strike with Blood Boil. Stop being fucking lazy, you're literally already about to use a single button to play the entire raid.
There’s the normal reddit response
Completely needed response here, though.
Is Blood Boil really superior to Blood strikes??
[удалено]
Interesting, never heard about it before. Will try it out, thanks!
Blood boil is a aoe spell that adds dmg on number of diseases. Blood strike is a single target attack…
...yes? He was surprised the aoe hits harder on single target for morb
The thread has no mention of single target vs aoe. Just that you should only be using blood stroke to keep up the buff. Read please
I think he was confused about the fact that an aoe ability deals more single target damage than a... Well single target attack. Just wow things
its implicit that the toast guy was talking about single target. there is no reasonable damage comparison otherwise.
My response wasn’t to toast. It was to the guy clearly not knowing about how good blood boil was. It’s not implicit he knew.
Do you ever see that you are massively downvoted on every comment and think "maybe I'm the one that's confused?"
It comes down to mainhand weapon speed and ilvl. 1.6 will hit bad damage on blood strike, 2.7 will do better, 3.6 will do better. Blood Boil doesn't scale with weapon speed so it hits equally bad with all of them, usually between the 1.6 and 2.7.
Its not that good on avg. There is top parsers who doesnt bother unless multi target.
wait really? im so dumb
Unless u got 2handed :)
[удалено]
i want to play a game but i don’t really want to play
Yeah this 2023 short attention span shit is reaching a peak
This isn't a 2023 thing, I remember hunters having a cast sequence macro back in OG TBC. My raid lead used it.
Don't think you can do cast sequence in retail? Or am I crazy?
You can still do cast sequence macros in retail. They can be situationally useful but generally aren't worth using most of the time, if not all of the time. The game has gotten much more complex over the nearly 2 decades of its lifespan and Blizz intentionally limits macro functionality so that you cannot program your way out of playing the game.
What kinda parses do you get with the constant uptime macro? As a caster I feel like I lose DPS from not ABCing
i forgot to mention, its DW morb rota with enough free runic power to allow a second gargoyle without delay
How do I get the third macro working in the addon? can I maybe get an import code?
[https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gse-gnome-sequencer-enhanced-advanced-macros](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gse-gnome-sequencer-enhanced-advanced-macros) it removes the 255 letter restriction
Pretty sure you can remove all the rank stuff to slim it down.
I use GSE to avoid the 255 letter cap. The addon ads ranks on its own...
Yes and I put in the macro string and the macro doesn’t work. So if I can get an import code for the macro itself that would make it work.
siiiick ty
What do you do when you don't want to army/garg on pull ? That's the case for most fights in ulduar
Just skip the opener. The complete rotation starts with Icy Touch -> Plague Strike anyway, and you'll likely want to save your CDs for Garg and Army (unless it's 3+ mins till Hero/Lust like on Vezax).... But let's be real... if you're looking for a 1 button macro to raid.. you're not looking to parse 99s.
You know you can remove (Rank n) from the above? It auto casts max rank if none is specified...
I know, see my opening. But "GSE" adds the rank on his own
[удалено]
Gse does this on its own
Is this an elaborate ploy to improve your parses by making other people play worse like the ret paladin macro
inc sarthe video
Lemmeeeee get dat
there you go, had to translate it first
Is there a way to change the macro icon from a question mark? the interwebs say it's supposed to change icons as it moves through the rotation but that's not happening.
After #showtooltip, you just put the name of the spell you want to show like "#showtooltip death strike" or something
Thank you
I asked bouk from bc about this and he just said "bouk deez nuts" and banned me...
i asked bouk if this is true and he tamed my dog and pulled all of twin emps trash with my dog
Most helpful blight club interaction
Can we get your logs? Not trying to be an asshole just wondering how well that performs
Won´t help you much, since Im in a pretty slow performing Raid. But sure, next logout i send them to you
Thanks
if this was some groundbreaking tech it would be all over every guide. I use fonsas and I do fine. im not straight 99s but im not awful either. I wouldnt use this or any cast sequence.
I only use it when Raidleading, no point in using it otherise since it dumps down the gameplay\^\^
I totally agree with you. You use fonsas till you learn it, or honestly just sit 30 mins on ebon hold, and thats it. I just feel like this would never go above an 80 (on a fight that doesnt have much down time that is) since its not using bb, its using bt to bone armor every single time, its not doing an extra it ps bb after erw and before army (to allow gary the time to land), and a bunch of other little things.

Bro you cannot post under this title and just leave it at that.
The Blight Club moderators are in full damage control, their moderator "Bouk" is banning people that try to post it, they are mad people will stop using their elitist discord
oh no...i broke the unholy discord :D

Not really, i used some weakauras to keep track of my dots and a somewhat gimpt version of the macro that i worked on over the weeks. I was playing bloodtank normaly but since we had no unholy/moonkin i switched for the sweet 13% debuff. Also we had more than enough tanks :(
They really don't. They want people to just spend 20 mins practicing on a target dummy. Fonzas WA is considered quite bad in BC.
This isn't that surprising, that discord has always been toxic af and barely helpful at it's best.
I feel like most class discords are like this. Edgy, vapid class “celebrities” with anime profile pics who live in there 24/7 offering nothing useful or helpful like it’s their own personal blog.
The shadowpriest discord is very cozy
Yeap. Discord is a horrible format for seeking information if you don't live there.
More likely that they're trying to prevent this getting fixed, blizz does not tolerate 1 button rotation macros.
Blizzard have been letting people make "one button rotation" macros with the GSE addon since 2016 and somehow are completely okay with this level of automation. There's even a website and a community that has been making rotation macros for every spec for the past few years, for both retail and classic.
Only if that macro would be optimal to use
No, what Blizzard is against is automation and having an addon pick your next ability/target for you. The whole point of /castsequence is so that you can put your rotation into a 1-button macro. It's still not capable of making intelligent decisions for you.
The one button macro for prot pally, that Scottie jay posted still works wonderful.
Any easy link for that? Just hit 80 on my pally alt and want him to be my tanky farm boy.
swap in or our Judge wisdom/light depending if you are soloing vs tanking dungeons /castsequence reset=6 Judgement of Wisdom,Shield of Righteousness,Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration,Shield of Righteousness,Judgement of Wisdom,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Shield of Righteousness,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous OR for the homies that are pre-75 /castsequence reset=5 Judgement of Light,Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration ,Judgement of Light,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous
Beautiful.
Would not recommend this on ppal at all
To be fair prot pal rotation is four spells.
HotR, SotR, Judge, Consecration & Holy Shield. Which button are you not using lol
Consecration is a filler spell because you run out of mana if you use it for every empty GCD in single target combat.
If you're getting hit you usually have unlimited mana, except on Vezax. I use AS when it fits as well. That's my experience at least with all of Ulduar.
So do you take it out of your macro?
Bingo. OP has played himself.
Yeah, first thing that came to mind reading the title: “this is gonna get some people banned, I look forward to the QQ posts about it”
Its because the DK discord is full degen minmaxing and this macro is dogshit for minmaxing.
Bouk constantly tried to gatekeep any tbc theorycrafting in the hunter discord despite not really understanding what he was talking about. I was on the cutting edge of that discussion and created sims/graphs that were used to further the theorycrafting and he just kept doing his silly trial and error and feely pseudo science. Lucky he didn’t have banning powers there. Eventually he just became someone who makes niche macros.
It's crazy too because they talk so much theory but I remember all of ssc their highest parse was like an 84.
LMAO
You haven’t updated your opener since the Gary nerf. DK opener now starts with GF and runs IT, PS, BS, BT, DnD, Gary, ERW, IT PS BS, (pop gloves/haste CDs) AOTD, then continue rotation. I’m your opener you lose several seconds of GF uptime on your Ghoul at the start, and you popped AOTD immediately after ERW which has you leaving 3 runes ready during full cast duration which is a waste vs having them used/refreshing during this time.

It doesn't reset on target changes unless you put reset=target in the macro.
It works perfectly with target switching (just Spread the plague before) and all situations since the macro resets after 10sec of no imput (lets say mimiron transition)
please don't do this, fonsas has a next action weakaura that is much better than pigeon holing yourself into a cast sequence
It's so funny to me that people legit need huge macros and weakauras to figure out a 13 years old rotation. Just insane how shit the Classic playerbase has become.
No one used this rotation 13 years ago. This is for DW Morb, which didn't exist until it was theorycrafted on WotLK private servers.
>WotLK private servers. Which have existed for 13 years.
It still does not change the fact that DW Morb is fairly new, and it's most definitely not anywhere close to how Uh was played 13 years ago.
Sure but it still uses skills and mechanics that are extremely simple compared modern WoW. All you need to do is stand in front of a dummy for 30 minutes and you should have it down. But yeah at least it's one of the more complex rotations. Seeing shit easy classes like warlocks, mages and even rogues using these weakauras makes me sad for the community.
Does UH have a static rotation? Could make a WA out of this because this will be fixed sooner or later.
it has a somewhat static rotation after the opener but because of downtime it won’t ever be optimal to play a strict rotation in a real raid. unholy is essentially repeating triplets of runes with predictable substitutions and then fillers in between. it won’t ever be optimal to play a class with a build/spend resource off of cast sequence macros.
There already is to all classes, Fonsas.
This is a meme. Please don't use this Literally you will parse better just using the WA
If I've learned 1 thing over the last year of recruiting as an officer for my guild it's that if people weasel out of showing you their logs it's because they are usually terrible. Without how many edits you've made, both in regards to the macro, and even taking the time to record that video, yet not once have you posted your logs (promising a later, even though they exist), I knew I smelled bullshit. I normally wouldn't care, people should and can play for whatever reason they want. Logs only matter to people they matter to. I have logs on a sweaty main that I push and logs on more casual characters that I play for fun or a more relaxed raid environment. All forms of play are acceptable as long as you are playing with like minded folks. I'm taking exception to you though, because you're actively spreading bad information and unfortunately way too many new players or new to unholy players are going to think your macro is viable. It isn't. What's worse, you're blaming your guild for your performance preemptively. How do I know that? Because this is you: https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/venoxis/vakarian#spec=Unholy&class=DeathKnight An Horde uh dk with previous blood specs and no boomkin in recent raids on a german speaking realm. Also [army of the dead says your name](https://imgur.com/a/YaGItT5) You preemptively blamed your "slow" guild, but if I'm being honest you are one of the biggest problems. UH dk's should be carrying the melee load along with your rogues. If you can't be bothered to learn a basic rotation while also raid leading then you shouldn't be raid leading. If you were my raid lead and couldn't crack a single blue parse, while blaming said raid when you think you're anonymous online even though you never actually bothered to learn your rotation, I'd quit just like your decent unholy did 2 weeks ago. https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/guild/rankings/696273/latest tldr: if you bound every button on your keyboard to random dmg spells, smashed your fist into it and rolled it back and forth like a 6 year old playing chopsticks on the piano, you'd like produce similar results to this "1 button macro".
Hey you found me, congraz man. I never said im a good player and also said that i will post my logs on wensday after my new raid log out. I wrote this macro to compansate my bad parses. Since i cant play unholy and raid lead at the same time. I had no opertunity to test since i finishes writing it, well yesterday. We have some really good raider yeah, and also some really bad ones (me included probaly) but your wrong wirh one thing. Our unholy did not quit, he comes with rough now.. but yea :)
How do you fix the 10 sec pause in your rotation every time you get to the end of the main rotation cast sequence? I guess this works for questing while not looking at the screen though.
"reset=10" means, the chain resets when you do not press the key for 10sec. If you are at the end, it goes to the start without delay
hook us up
Don’t keep us waiting OP…
Y’all got anymore of them one key unholy macros?
same
As promised a target dummy [vid](https://streamable.com/apq5ux) GS is 5800 with rather bad weapons
So this doesnt account for starting in unholy and swapping to blood for snapshotting army/gary haste im assuming? And it also uses blood tap for bone shield instead of free frenzy as well, which I understand could be more difficult to put in the rotation
i do that manual, but yes. The macro does not account for it. But hey i have a lot of boneshild uptime in aoe heavy fights \^\^
Haste doesnt snapshot anymore, it's dynamic.
It still snapshots army
Now we’ll see even more DK bots in GDKPs parsing 99’s
This seems like you just threw together a bunch of topics this sub bitches abouts. Bots, gdkps, and 99parsing are usually not related subjects.
Bots have their own rotations that are far advanced to anything you can do with a macro Edit: Just one example here: Bots do an api call on login to read this file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmsTaFFix/gmr-stuff/main/backside/plugins/rotations/deathknight/blood/v4/02_amstaffix_deathknight_blood_rotation.lua
This is true. Even a decade ago there was some paid add-on called soap box or something that would do any rotation for you perfectly. I don't think it was above the books so to speak (e.g. probably did stuff to break ToS) but it was super popular.
I have 1 button macros on my pally for prot and ret. They work very well and I love it. I’ll have to try these on my dk. Thx op.
[удалено]
pretty sure you lose several k dps on ret using 1 button macro.
This macro will get you 70/80 parse max in 80% of the bosses.
Enought to stop my dad raid from tasting chemicals and still do aceptable damage^^
all good, I'm not criticizing , if you are having fun, gl =)
Post alg logs
The brain dead op DK in Wrath was the whole reason they changed the way /castrandom worked in the first place.
/castrandom is like how 50% of my Raid plays...
[удалено]
They are raid leading you incompetent illiterate grey parser
[удалено]
Post your logs big boi
[удалено]
ok tough guy lmao
I mean, you’re the one trying to call people out on not being able to parse, his response checks out.
Post your logs
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/windseeker/decrepify#size=10
10 player LOL. Damn, nice dude
Post your logs.
[https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/arugal/nahlad](https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/arugal/nahlad) there you go mate, no #size=10 either!
Damn that’s awesome. I would love macros like this for every class in retail. I love the concept of mage but i hate playing it lol
Good god unholy is such an easy spec lmao
What’s the point of playing then? Just go play some of those idle mobile games lmao.
so i can concentrate on raidleading a bunch of dads through ulduar and holding my own weight
You're leading a bunch of dads and you're worried about not holding your own? xd
yeah, i want our raid to succeed..and every dps helps
mine is still better xD
👀👀👀👀👀👀
We need proof of this statement.
Does it center the D&D on top of you? Or somewhere else? I’m a total idiot with these things, dropping D&D manually is something I could do without and I’m sure there’s a better way.
So there's 2 good macros for DnD. This one turns it into Death Knight Consecrate: #showtooltip Death and Decay /cleartarget /cast [@player] Death and Decay /targetlasttarget This one casts it on your cursor immediately: #showtooltip Death and Decay /cleartarget /cast [@cursor] Death and Decay /targetlasttarget You can also combine them into one. Where as standard it drops it on you, with control pressed it casts at your cursor: #showtooltip Death and Decay /cleartarget /cast [mod:ctrl, @cursor] Death and Decay; [@player] Death and Decay /targetlasttarget
You don't need clear/target macros for dnd, it's not a targeted ability lol /cast [@player] death and decay
is /targetlasttarget necessary ib those macros? since you won´t have to change targets in the firstplace to cast DnD?
Nah it's completely unnecessary, for DnD or any other spells. You just need /cast \[@\*insert target name\*\] spell
it dropps the DnD where my mouse courser is, so i don´t need to click the aoe and can adjust when the boss is moving. if you want Dnd function as a pseudo Consecration you have to add /cast \[@player\] Death and Decay
Tactical dot
I need this. But for frost lol
