Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
This macro thing is killing me. I tried using posted websites like wow and stuff but i just cant (because im too dumb) figure out how to make a macro with multiple dots. My guild master is on me about my damage, And talking to other locks a macro should help me. Basicaly trying to get a macro using Ua , corruption, siphon life. i think if i can see a macro and jus copy it im hoping i can figure it out and make it work. I can get a macro to cast one dot but not more than one. if i can get macro like that i can add stuff i read about adding trinkets.Any way, can anyone post a copy of a macro using multiple dots. Please. Thanks in advance Happy New Y  ear everyone. EDhttp://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ywall&n=Nortel added link not sure it will work armory not been working, i play everday |

I know a trinket one: /use 13 /use 14 /cast shadowbolt Plus I got moaned at for not spamming the CoS on mobs in SSC. I find the milling chars too much to see the mobs, so a way to spam the CoS with a macro that reselects a mob, checking to see if CoS is applied would be a handy one too. |

Re: Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
I'm not a macro wizard either but I don't think you can link DOTs together in one macro. You might be able to do corruption then UA or shadow bolt but I'm quite sure your can do corruption SL or any other instant cast spells due to the global CD. Now you can do a macro for any use trinkets you have to help optimize your usage of them to increase your DPS some thing like this should work for a trinket macro #showtooltip Shadow Bolt /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() /userandom 13, 14 /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /script UIErrorsFrame:Show() /cast Shadow Bolt Now you could create that macro for all your spells in a normal rotation UA, Corruption and so forth. Another thing to look at when trying to increase your DPS is your spell rotation. My rotation for trash is (keep in mind I'm affliction) CoS almost as soon as the mob is pulled then Corruption and shadow bolt until mob is dead and throwing a shadow burn at the end if I know I don't have enough time to get another shadow bolt off. Now for bosses I use CoS, UA, corruption, Immolate, and SL then Shadow bolt 2 to 3 times renew UA, Corruption, and Immolate shadow bolt some more renew SL and keep doing the same over and over. |

WoWWiki's Warlock Macros There is a way to click one button to cast a sequence of DoTs (as in click once, casts the first DoT, click again, casts the second DoT, etc), just look around on this site. There are a few there that might be what you're looking for

Re: Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
If your guild leader is harping you about your damage then are you raiding? If so, castsequence macros are going to hurt you more than help you. You just need to get better at keeping your DOTs up 100% of the time. |

Re: Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
I have to agree with Debuff. In instance or raid very hard to use a macro since situations can change fast. Only thing I do is cast a casting time dot then while casting dot is casting i spam on of my instant dots. As for macros this is the one i use. #showtooltip /cast [nochanneling:Drain Soul, modifier:alt] Drain Soul; [nochanneling:Drain Mana, modifier:ctrl] Drain Mana; [nochanneling:Drain Life, nomodifier] Drain Life; #showtooltip /clearfocus [modifier:alt] /focus [target=focus,noexists]; [target=focus,dead] /clearfocus [target=focus,help] /cast [pet:succubus,target=focus,exists,harm] [] Seduction |

Re: Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
Cast Sequence, Heres one I used when affliction... /cast [modifier:shift] Unstable Affliction; /castsequence reset=target Corruption, Curse of Agony, Siphon Life; Its a simple one. Basically, clicking the button over and over will cast Corruption, then Curse of Agony, then Siphon Life (swap out the spells with whatever you wish); Changing targets will reset the sequence so every new target will still receive Corruption first, and not wherever you left off in the sequence. Since they're all instant cast, this enabled me to run around without having to think about stopping. When i wanted to cast UA, I would stop running, hold shift and click the button again. This gave me greater control over applying my dots while keeping mobile. I think a macro such as this makes managing DoTs far easier than not having it. I make variations of this as well, such as when I'm the one casting Curse of Shadows, I drop Curse of Agony off the sequence list, and add a new line for Curse of Shadows so I can apply it at a whim by holding down Alt. /cast [modifier:alt] Curse of Shadows;

Re: Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
So far the posts here are pretty much spot on. You can't have a one button DoT bomb macro, and it would likely hurt you more than help. If you don't have it, I'd recommend getting the ClassTimers addon, which should help you see your dot timers a little easier. As for a few macros, you could do something like this, also (note, if you aren't affliction, sorry. Armory isn't up) /cast Amplify Curse /use 14 (assuming your damage trinket is in your second trink slot) /cast Curse of Agony (or Curse of Doom if that's your thing). This should make sure that you use Amp curse every time it's up, and that it is coupled with your damage trinket for a nice extra boost. I'd second maiko's recommendation of checking out wowwiki's macro section. Both the class specific ones as well as the general tutorial should go a long way to getting you on the right path to the use of macro's. At first they seem somewhat limited, but there really is a lot you can do with them once you get into it. HTH |

Re: Any locks use macros for spell casting i can copy from?
Yeah, as other's have stated, the cast sequences available for macros might help you. I think the macro guide that blizz put out most recently has information on how build those. That guide can be found Here While I don't have a ton of end game experience with my warlock yet, I have raided a bit with my shadowpriest; I'm finding the two classes have some strong similarities. The main problem I see with a cast sequence macro is that the DoT durations might not work well with it. For example, suppose your Curse of Agony is running out but Corruption (only half way through it's duration) is next in line for the cast sequence. I tend to like the cast sequences for situations that are more consistent..like farming/grinding. I'm sure others have better advice than I do for raising your damage while raiding. If you were talking about a shadowpriest, I could offer a semi-informed opinion
