If you are worried about banning, read the thin gray line. I load it up with DoTs, get 5 stacks of UA, then mash the boom macro to have a big freakin deathbolt take it down. The boom macro then for me is a priority GSE macro with PS, Darkglare, and Deathbolt. So for my Warlock I would have PS, UA, Seed, drain life, boom macro, fear, enslave demon, command demon ability (spell lock for felhound), petattack, darkglare, shadowfury all on separate binds. Mash macro does the anytimes and short CDs. Thus my philosophy is strip most of those CDs from the mash macro and use my brain when to use them, but the things you can cast over and over. So when these macros at places like lazy macros tries to automate all the cooldowns into a mindless macro, I think they ultimately fail because it puts things on CD when you should be holding them to achieve a particular goal. You want to deathbolt a hefty target that needs to die now and I would rather delay and make that mission happen than automate.

Icy says do not delay Deathbolt but prepare for it. If I want to burst, I need all DoTs up, need to hit PS, Darkglare, then Deathbolt. So extra stacks of UA, I would still need, and apply on a separate keybind. Where the decision for me comes in is how to burst and load beyond that. A good mash macro would load up your target with that stuff. Maybe even pull UA out of the mix entirely, but I think 1 stack is not that bad. For my Warlock, I would want the mash macro to apply Agony, Corruption, keep 1 stack of UA up, and apply haunt, and shadow bolt otherwise. Now in terms of a general philosophy of macros the mash macro is very specific. Having a mash macro that you can hit blind to run through the basic rotation then helps out tremendously as you do not have to bind each action in that mash macro sequence. Once you get above around 14 distinctly different blind keys then you have to look at the stupid keys or mouse click, which puts your focus on the UI rather than the game and you wind up standing in stuff on the ground.Īnything that can be macroed off of a single spell per bind assignment then recovers binds and lets me function. I can add u I k and F1-F4, but typically I have to look to hit those. Things like a s d f c b are reserved for other hotkeys. I can hit all these keys with my left hand without looking at the keyboard no problem. I remap my keyboard and squeak out about 14 keybinds: 1 2 3 4 5 6 q y g h j z x n. By that I mean they have far too many spells for single press keybinds. Why bother with Gnome Sequencer Enhanced (GSE) and AutoHotkey (AHK)? For me this comes down to the basic fact that WoW is a bloat game. I am going to preface this with a big why.
