Rogue Mutilate Click Macro

Halo — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:26:34 +0000

I wrote this click macro when I was going to use my rogue for a DPS in my 5 man team. The macro keeps up hunger for blood, rupture, and slice and dice pretty well. I averaged ~2k DPS with very terrible gear. The key here is going to be hit rating. If you have really low hit rating, you’re going to miss, thus come up short on combo points. I wrote this for a poison hit capped rogue. Make sure you adjust commas for your click rate (apparently I’m a slow clicker)

Heroic UP cleared, Faster Kills are happier kills

Halo — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:06:56 +0000

woot. Skadi is a pain in the ass, especially when using the harpoons breaks bear form, so I had to do some quick window swapping and have my lock use the harpoons.

Dead Skadi:

Making fun of AFK Gurb:

After UP I went to VH, I’ve cleared this place many times so it wasn’t any big deal, until I broke kill time records on Xevozz and Cyanigosia

28 second Xevozz kill, didn’t have to heal, healer didn’t do any DPS, the 381 dps on the meter is from trash (magma totem is OP rite?)

38 second Cyanigosa Kill – I doubt these are huge kills or anything, but it’s awesome to see how I’m shattering old records and improving even on stuff I farm mindlessly.

Multiboxing Heroic Nexus Heroic Halls of Stone

Halo — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:10:27 +0000

So I’ve transferred to Kil’Jaeden and when I got my toons’ names all changed in ISBoxer and everything set back up, I set out to do heroic marathons to farm up some PvP gear. I cleared Heroic Nexus but forgot to take a screen shot. That place is a lot easier than I expected. Halls of Stone was the daily Sunday, so I managed to knock that out for the first time as well. The Brann Event sucks, but I can get through it, just barely.

We went to BT as a guild saturday night, cleared up to Ilidari Council, was good times
SS from standing in front of Bloodboil:

Yes, gurb is notorious for leghumping.

I also figured out I can skip some h-UK and h-DTK trash packs, so that has made farming those instances a little more tolerable.

InnerSpace ISBoxer Control UI

Halo — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:20:11 +0000

ISBoxer Controls UI

Since I don’t have a G15 keyboard to make use of the lights for repeater on/off state. I decided to tweak Zanthor’s old repeater UI he included in his first IS Scripts compilation, so original credits to him for the UI, I just did a few tweaks to incorporate keymap toggle, and ISBoxer Config reload.

repeater.xml (Right click, save as repeater.xml to InnerSpace\Interface)

What does it do?

Toggle Repeater on / off
Toggle Specified Keymap
Reload ISBoxer Settings

Toggle Repeater

Repeater Disabled, Keymap Active

Repeater Disabled, Keymap Disabled

In your repeater profile, if have the startup defaults “key repeat enabled” checked, you’ll need to click the keys button once, then it will catch up and show the correct state. *Keys* should indicated repeating is enabled, Keys will indicate it is disabled. My repeater profile does not have this checked so the Keys button is already at the correct state.

Keymap Toggle

This is setup to toggle a keymap named Base. You can change the name of the keymap you want to toggle on line 37 of repeater.xml “relay all keymapper -togglemap Base” Just replace Base with whichever keymap you want the button to toggle.

Modifying keymapper.iss To Change the button text.

In order to get the Maps Text to indicate the current state of keymaps, we need to change the text on the button when the keymap is toggled.

Open InnerSpace\Scripts\keymapper.iss

Scroll down to line ~387 (or find “method ToggleKeyMap(string name)”)

This is what you should find:

method ToggleKeyMap(string name)
{
if ${LoadedMaps.Contains["${name.Escape}"]}
This:UnloadKeyMap["${name.Escape}"]
else
This:LoadKeyMap["${name.Escape}"]
}

This is what you want to replace it with:

method ToggleKeyMap(string name)
{
if ${LoadedMaps.Contains["${name.Escape}"]}
{
UIElement[keymaptoggle@main@repeater]:SetText["Maps"]
This:UnloadKeyMap["${name.Escape}"]
}
else
{
This:LoadKeyMap["${name.Escape}"]
UIElement[keymaptoggle@main@repeater]:SetText["*Maps*"]
}
}

Save and reload your ISBoxer config (or launch your character set). Open the IS Console (Default ~ key) and type “ui -reload repeater.xml”. You should see the ISBoxer Controls UI show up as in this image (You may not have the WoWSkin loaded, but it’s not required)

Reload

This simply sends a “relay all run isboxer -reload” to reload your ISBoxer Configuration just like the ISBoxer ingame GUI does. I threw this command so i wouldn’t have to open the ISBoxer gui just to reload.

Thanks to Lax and Red-One for answering all my questions in #isboxer.

Druid Healing Logic – Heroic Kel’Thuzad

Halo — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:31:51 +0000

Copied from my post on thegoldenorder.com guild forums. Friday night’s KT fight that I came in for, here’s a breakdown of what I did, where I could improve, and where WWS is a useful tool when used properly from a healer’s perspective.

Looking at the heals you can see my goto heal is Rejuvenation. This is mainly because I’m using the Idol of Awakening. The 2 piece T7 is 5% off Lifebloom cost, but IMO with the SP Coefficient nerf you’re much better spamming Rejuvenation and saving LB for a tank (where the bloom has a chance of not being 100% overheal). My next two that I cast most often is Regrowth and Lifebloom.I will most often Regrowth a non-tank to get them healed and let a hot tick on them so if they continue to take damage, I have a hot on them, and I can swiftmend on top of it. The Glyph of Swiftmend lets me Swiftmend without having to recast another hot. So I can Swiftmend whenever I want and not worry that I’ve wasted a hot. Lifebloom is my next goto spell. I rotate between the Idol of Awakening and Idol of Lush Moss. If you aren’t running Idol of Awakening, you should be running Idol of Lush Moss IMO. I wouldn’t let your idol dominate what you’re primary heal is, but it is definitely something to be aware of. Lifebloom is a great spell, but I feel the bloom is mostly wasted because it is dependent on the person NOT being at full health when it blooms. I tend to roll LB stacks with Rejuv and it tends to be able to provide great single target healing and if the person gets hit a few times and the hots fall behind, I can swiftmend easily and keep the 3x LB rolling.

So we’ve established my 3 main keys I bind to my entire keyboard when I /faceroll. Now lets look at spells I don’t use that often, mainly Healing Touch. That entire fight I used it ONCE. I am of the mindset that if you’re using HT more than 5 times in a single fight, you’re doing something wrong (or you’re dreamstate and being the hippy non-conformist of druid healing). You can see I used 1 Healing touch and it only hit for 8k. Not a big deal but look at the Ovh% (over heal), its not there. That entire 8k went into someone and not 1 hp was overheal. This is because I use Nature’s Swiftness + Healing Touch as my “Oh shit” Button. (yes, the macro is actually called “oh shit”). When I panic this is the first thing I hit, when NS is down the macro just casts Healing Touch. Once NS is down I’m usually throwing a quick rejuv and spamming nourish (See the 79% Ovh on 3 nourishs, ouch). Tranquility is another one I don’t use that much. Who really can on a 5 minute CD? I use it for oh shit group heals. Finally we come to Wild Growth. I used to spam the shit out of WG and not care. Now with a 6 second CD I still throw it around without much regard but its hardly my go to “hot someone up fast” spell anymore, I’d rather LB or Rejuv someone.

So now that I’ve explained my logic, lets look and see where I went wrong. (Wrong is relative, I don’t know that I was actually wrong we did down the boss, but there were things I could have done better.) 79% Ovh on 3 nourishs is pretty harsh, first I should be using it more, and using it wisely as it is a quick and powerful heal. As stated above, it’s one of my panic spells and like many Druids I’m simply not used to having it and haven’t quite figured out it’s place in my rotation. Next is regrowth, 9 casts with a 4195 average isn’t bad, but it could have been used better. My 41% Regrowth Ovh tells me that I’m using it instead of a rejuv or LB (on a target that is near full / full on the initial cast). It’s really hard to find something wrong when the boss died, but hopefully these couple of things will show you the logic and reasoning of seeing what you did, and why you did it, and understanding that will allow you to make smarter decisions when /facerolling.

Now for the same fight, lets look at “Who heals whom?”

The only reason i want to mention this is to show where my heals go. You can see I heal myself a lot, (10% lols). I had a good teacher force me to lrn2hotmyself, it took me a while but I caught on eventually. You can see I didn’t heal Kallyn, this is because Kallyn didn’t pay the healer toll so no heals 4 Kallyn, let this be a lesson to everyone. You can see I healed everyone else in the raid. This is where Uriah may yell at me, but I don’t stick to my assignments. I hot everyone because I have decent regen and can afford it. You’re mileage may vary and you may or may not get yelled at or looked at in a bad way from others due to your Ovh or your own assignments dying. My personal view on assignments is that as long as you’re assignments are alive and you have the mana / regen to handle it, go nuts healing. If you’re assignments die because you’re oom, then you strayed too far out of your assignments. Now if they get insta-gibbed cause of some freak accident, heal away not much you could have done about that. Scroll down and this is where I’m really going to get myself in trouble and you can actually see how far I was straying from my assignments (I’m usually assigned melee, I think because I’m one of the few that doesn’t have melee on my no-heal list). Who is healed by whom? is where you can see exactly who got my heals. Scroll down and look at all rogues, all warriors. These percentages I healed them are lower than anyone else, I healed people who weren’t my assignment more than people who were, Oops. There are reasons for this as anyone could imagine, healer overwhelmed, range issues, etc.

Now that we’ve seen (and hopefully learned something / gained some insight) WWS, here are some general thoughts. A lot of this are my personal opinions / observations. WWS is great, topping meters is great, but healing meters don’t mean anything unless something went wrong. Healing meters should be used to judge Overheal (and how to improve / lower), make sure people aren’t straying too far out of healing assignments, and to identify who’s sucking healer mana away from who should be getting heals. Overheal is a widely discussed topic on many healer forums. My personal opinion is you’re overheal is going to be truly governed by your class, spec, spells, and attention span. The less I pay attention, my oveheal % goes up. Mainly because I’m trying to spam heals to make sure no ones dying as I wait for Matlock to solve the case, pull the cat off the ceiling fan, or anything else that I may be doing. It’s a good thing I don’t watch TV during raids, or more people would die. :_X Class and spec are going to be the next big contributors to Overheal. I think some classes are going to be high on overheal by design. My point on overheal is, as long as you’re not oom, overheal shouldn’t be an issue unless people are dying. Then you want to look at spell casts to see where you can improve. (whether you need improvement on timing or recognition on healing priority)

I realize this is a giant wall of text, but hopefully this will show you my logic for figuring out how I did on a fight / raid and how I can find where I can / need to improve. We don’t live and die by WWS, after all, as long as the boss is dead we win right? Feel free to laugh at me or yell at me for not staying within my healing assignments.

Time Flies When You’re Rerolling

Halo — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 15:05:40 +0000

Sorry for the lack of posts. I got really busy with the raiding guild the druid is in. I’ve backed off raiding for now so I can work more on the multiboxing teams. I also rerolled a new team of 1 druid and 3 shaman on the horde side of Madoran. My plan for them is to level and gift up a 4th shaman to instance with. I also transferred my Blood Elf Rogue to Blood Furnace, my first real crack at a PvP server. Also, my DK Fröstlust, I did some solo leveling on him to get some more experience playing the class so he is up to 71 now. Should make instances MUCH easier. More updates soon.

5 Boxing Auchindoun – Auchenai Crypts

Halo — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:45:51 +0000

Current Outland Dungeon Master Progress:

Here is my team:
Nimmen – 80 Resto Druid
Lewlsfear – 65 Shadow Preist
Menage – 73 Elemental Shaman
Nymin – 64 Balance Druid
Fröstlust – 65 Unholy Death Knight

I hate this place. The first boss took 3 tries but I got him. I pretty much moved in and out of range to catch heals when I needed them and that seemed to work well. Died a couple times to trash, I had no real recovery method if my tank or healer got possessed. I ended up making a macro on the tank that tried to target one of the possessors so I could find them quickly and shut them down.

Menage – 73 Elemental Shaman
Nymin – 63 Balance Druid
Fröstlust – 64 Unholy Death Knight

Cleared The Underbog! Only had 1 death due to not paying attention. I ended up aggroing The Black Stalker before I was ready so the preist didn’t make it. I’m still swapping around spells. I’m not very good with a Shadow Priest. I also realized when I dinged on the 3 lowbies, and went to train, I hadn’t trained Mind Flay at all. Oh well, should see a nice boost next instance. Planning on doing some questing in Zangarmarsh. The lowbies are just over their current levels so I want to get another level maybe before I head into Mana Tombs.
