castsequence
As of patch 2.3.2 has anyone noticed if the corrections to /castsequence were made? There was supposed to be a change that was borking many hunter shot macros. On another note, I noticed that my castsequence macro form my lock was not working in arena but would work fine on mobs. is this normal?

/cast will toggle a cast now if hit it more than once, to turn off that feature, use "!" in front of the spell name and it will not toggle it.
So,
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
Works again via spamming, where as in 2.3.1, it would toggle Autoshot on and off, so you had to mash it to force it to toggle on.
Here's the macro I use:
quote:#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/cast [target=pet, dead]; [nopet]; [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

reset=3
Someone once told me that I should set the value to whatever my weapon speed was. That didn't work out so well. Making it shorter doesn't work at all. I have mine set to 3 as well, but the rest of the macro is a bit different. Why does 3 seem to work better than your actual weapon speed?

The "!" is only needed with a spell that can be toggled, ie Autoshot. Without the "!" each time through the macro the state of the spell would change. Autoshot on then autoshot off ...
Since 2.3 the way that the cassequence reset has changed. Before 2.3 it was how long without a key press before the macro reset to the beginning. Now the macro will reset after that time regardless of its activity.
This means that the reset time needs to be set close to but a bit longer than the sequence will take to complete. so a steadyshot, !autoshot sequence reset time should be about the same as or a bit longer than the weapon speed after buffs like serpent's swiftness. I use 2.5 and my adjusted weapon speed is 2.05 it seems to work but may be because my latency is about 250ms on average. Try some different values to find the optimal speed.

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/cast Steady Shot
/cast [target=pet, dead]; [nopet]; [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
... results in an -extra- auto shot. Tested on Dr. Boom last night screwing around, and DPS increased by 18%. OMG! Works with Arcane/Multi macros too, though I don't use except in PvP. I'm using a Don Santos, with 5/5 in serpent swiftness and the Consortium 15% ammo bag.

how does that macro work. there is no cast sequence reset and it is missing other things....here is my macro.....
/castsequence reset=5 auto shot, steady shot, auto shot, arcane shot, auto shot, steady shot, auto shot, arcane shot
how can i improve it... i do have another one that has multi shot in it if there is no CC being used....

Stamping Ground, KY I'm at work, so I can't like copy/paste it in there. That's just from memory. I do know this though ... it doesn't have a reset in it.

Does this still work with the 2.3.2 changes? Someone needs to explain why the macro needs so many instances of autoshot in the rotation.
I keep playing with a shot rotation macro but invariably always end up back trying to time my shots manually.

This is where the ! comes in. You need to add one before each instance of auto shot.
You put auto shot in the macro to be sure that auto shot fires off between specials otherwise the specials could delay auto shot.
