Warlock Setup

[Drarkan]

Ok, so currently I'm level 35 with my team, probably 36 by the end of the night, but of all the attempts at remodeling my macros for my warlock, I cant seem to peak the 15% dps range (from dps across the team that is). Might be the gear, cause I'm using a simple one like

/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence reset=target/18 Immolate, Corruption, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt

Basically I have Shadow Bolt spamming till Corruption gets free'd up, might take a couple out and put the reset to 15 instead so Immolate doesn't have any down time.

Taken from Aragent's - Custom 2 Step Macros

AFFLICTION:
/cast [@pettarget] petattack
/castsequence reset=target/combat/18 Corruption,null
/castsequence reset=target/combat/4 Bane of Agony,Shadow Bolt,Immolate,Drain Life


DEMONOLGY
/castsequence reset=target/combat/18 Corruption,null
/castsequence reset=target/combat Incinerate,Incinerate,Incinerate,Shadow Bolt,Incinerate,Life Tap,Immolate


DESTRUCTION
/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence reset=target/5 Immolate,Corruption,Incinerate,Incinerate,Incinera te,Incinerate,Incinerate
/cast [@target] Firebolt
/cast Chaos Bolt


ALL
/use 13
/use 14

Yeah I saw that, but being 35 I don't have access to Incinerate yet, so I substitute Shadow Bolt since thats the only spell I can cast that does instant damage and is recastable without a cool down.

[Ualaa]

I might go with Agony over Immolate then.
As Shadow Bolt will increase (talented) shadow damage taken.

He said he wanted all level support.
So you could plug in the massive macro, and have DPS keys that work for all classes, any team composition by dragging the mapped key to the toon's character set.
Even getting close to being able to do that for any class/spec at maximum level is fairly amazing.

[Drarkan]

Thats for IS Boxer right?

[Ualaa]

Yes.. but any two step system would work.

You might need one of the three or four addons that let you take macros beyond 255 characters.
Then put one on '1' but on action bar 1.
And the other on '1' but on action bar 2.
Give each an appropriate /changeactionbar #, to switch to the other action bar.

You can set up toggles within IS Boxer, they call them steps.
Where it outputs "1" on the first press and "2" (or whatever you want) on the second, and then reverts back to the first step in the cycle.

Hot Key Net can do the same.
Chances are others can too.

But with the changeactionbar thing, the default UI can too.

Hmm i'll look into that, currently can't log into the game however. Problems with the login servers

[Ualaa]

Ditto.

Ok now I'm back to playing this team and yet, warlock dps still sucks balls. Either I'm choosing the wrong spec for him atm since I lack the spells that make destro the best dps output, but I'm at level 63, gonna ding 64 soon, Immolate will become available, but still chaos bolt isn't open to me till I hit 65 or something when I can tallent point it. Probably around 70. I hate how bliz shuffled the spells in some areas, but well we can't change that so no point bitching about it. Anyway, I'll take a look at some of the tiered macros and see what I should come up with.

What spec should I be for my warlock to make the best DPS for him while leveling?

Demonology spec with the big felguard is so much fun. Do it, you'll love it. Are you doing 3x of them too?
