Copymark 2 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Why would you cancel Alter Time early when bursting with Frost? Apart from that it looks solid :) Oh, and I guess I wouldn't go PoM for Frost :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would also include the trinket slots in a /use, since you might get once an on use trinket:) Indeed tho, as frost you shouldn't be using PoM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tarazet 144 Report post Posted October 27, 2013 If you get on-use trinkets, just add /use 13 or 14. You'll want to pre-pot if you can, so have a separate button available to use the potion before the pull. You don't have to take it out of the macro.. still useful for mispulls or for use later in the fight when the potion is off cooldown again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Widdicuss 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2013 I wouldn't use this macro for the following reasons: 1. There is no time for item proc's (trinket buffs, etc) as you have not cast any spells 2. You have no fingers of frost or brain freeze procs as you have not yet attacked. When pulling hopefully your group uses a pull timer so do the following: 1. i evocate at app 4 seconds left (adjust based upon your haste). 2. Prepot just before the pull Cast a couple of frost bolts for fingers of frost and/or brain freeze to proc. Then use the macro /use 10 (looked it up appearently an engineering Glove enhancement). /cast Berserking /cast Icy Veins /cast Alter Time Use your procs and cast frost bolt for filler.

I do exactly as you say above but with only 2 slight differences 1, evocate 2, pre pot 3, Mirror image ---- tank pulls--- 1, mage bomb 2, Frozen orb Wait for Fingers of frost and brain freeze, happens almost instantly, when my trinket procs (breath of many minds) thats when i pop my macro.

Macca 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2013 I have as my trinkets The breath of the hydra, volatile talisman of the shadow pan assault and also lightweave embroidery, when breath of many minds proc I do my burst macro as I have mentioned above, was wondering if I should 1, also refresh my mage bomb at the same time?, 2, and also when I get the buff from my other trinket and lightweave, should I refresh my mage bomb even though its already ticking?

Yes, you should. This is called dot clipping/snapshotting. If you get an intellect proc that would increase you dot's damage (like breath of many minds, lightweave) refresh it! :) For Volatile talisman you shouldn't refresh it that would not be enough DPS gain. Try to get rid of that trinket btw.. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
