New Howitzer macro and 2.9 speed is new king

[donsantos]

Actually I ended up with a variation on Howitzer's

According to cheeky' brand brand new spreadsheet this macro is the new dps winner. Also my tuskbreaker is doing about 26 more dps than wolfslayer with macro. I tested it on dr boom and have gotten much better results than the 3:2 macro of the month

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/castsequence !Auto Shot, Steady Shot
/castrandom Arcane Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

Correct me if im wrong but won't you see gcd issues with the arcane shot?

[Stalkyr]

not with castrandom he won't. At least, not short term. Long term it might push it back.

I had made the same macro and it has yielded the most dps for me. Didn't notice any GCD issues. Give it a try

[SoulFly]

This macro would not work for me untill i added " reset=target " after /castsequence. Anyone have a clue why?

Dont forget that arcane shot removes a buff from the target though - which happened to us when Krosh was at 10 % yesterday resulting in a magetank that didnt get his shield and died..

Isnt the reason for higher dps with this one testing on dr. boom that Arcane shot deals more dmg than SS when you dont have sunder, CoR etc.?

Or do you actually get more shots off?

[Acronis]

Seems like it crowbars Arcane into the shot rotation, since it's instant-cast; which would account for the DPS increase.

Is the OP in regards to a BM build?

rofl. First time I've heard about that one, especially since I've always tanked Kiggler.

He says he uses Howitzer's macro with slight adaptation. Howitzer is not BM, so I imagine it's safe to say that this is in regards to a non-BM build.
