Click Castsequence Lag

[lastdon]

Hi everyone. Posted this question to the original Click thread but it's pretty old and might not get read, so I hope someone can answer this.

My destro lock has the same click sequence macros as explained in the first page of the Click Sequence tutorial, commas adjusted for my speed @4.5. I'm having trouble though somewhere in the 3rd-5th rotation of the macro. It seems to lag out on me where no spells will fire off even when all CD's are off, except for maybe immolate. Like it's waiting for it to get off CD. Then after about 2-3 seconds or so, it finally fires of immolate then good for another 3-5 rounds. Is it because of my click speed--More calibration required--Like I'm clicking too fast and had placed commas for a speed a bit slower?

u probey clicking to fast and one your friest spells ran out off ,,, so the cooldown is off try adding exta ,,,,,,,, like 15 more u can allways remove them after you know the sequence is working

And make sure all the spell have the right name i missed letter out before and stop thwm

To be fair what your saying its probey a cooldown had ended one one off the elry spells and its trying to cast that but the cooldown has gone

Okay I was always confused here, does each each "," mean an extra click in the button mashing right?

Every "," is a "no-action" on one keystroke, for that particular castsequence.

Depending on your spam speed (mine is 2 clicks per second, my roommates is 4.5 clicks per second), you need to adjust the number of commas after each spell, based on the desired delay until it fires off again.

You'll basically want a few of your better spells (whatever gets you close to maximum dps) with commas to cover recast delays or to allow their dot component to finish ticking, and then a fall-through spell which can be cast over and over... something like Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Shadow Bolt etc.

The first sequence listed fires off first, the second one can fire off when the first is on a comma (no action on this click) stage of it's castsequence. Even if the third and fourth are ready to go (and have not fired off yet), if the first spell (cast sequence) runs out of commas (and thus it will be attempted to be cast) then later spells cannot fire off even if the first spell is still on cooldown.

Ideally, each spell fires off in sequence. And there are few enough sequences that each spell can fire off. Adjust commas for the fall-through. If you spam extra fast, because the fall through spell is not firing off, it will fire off even less frequently; you'd want to spam slower (or add commas) to have the fall-through fire off more often.

You'll want to test the sequence on target dummies, to see everything is firing off. Have the spell icon for each spell on a bar that is visible. Spam away, at the normal pace and check that everything fires off fine. Once you know it's working, you can hide the bar or whatever, as the sequence works. You only need it visible when you're setting it up or tweaking it.
