Combustion Technique - Tick compression

[Polarthief]

Still works on EU realms. Highly unlikely to be fixed anytime soon as well. Will most likely be fixed in 6.0 (since celestalon said it'll be fixed on beta)

Plus they probably don't really care if this is abused on live. They've already indirectly nerfed Heroic Siege through additional iLevels and other changes and progression has been done for months and months, so yeah, they probs won't fix this til 6.0.

It's also only really exploitable on a few bosses. It's not like the Ret pally bug with Seal of Truth in Dragonsoul >_>

[awildpidgeyappears]

And it's fights Afflocks already scale out of control on as is. Maybe it'll help close the 1 million DPS gap between them and the next highest DPS on Fallen Protectors...

Hello, here's a quick video of what I produced 9 beers deep. I had buffs but still, cheers.

I managed to get a 180k combustion with 3k mastery, 2 pyros (no BL) and bad timing on dummys.

Arcane mages away on TFP :d

[Shangalar]

This excitement and numbers bring back some memories of Yor'sahj

[donovan403]

I could do this on dummies but couldn't pull it off in raid , could someone maybe make a macro that could cast sequence 3 pyros then / target last target and cast another pyro for me please with that I think I could manage to do it every pull but I do not know how to go about making the macro . Or maybe is there a way after you get your heating up and instant pyro to spam a whole macro for the entire process ?

[Charge me Doctor]

It won't work like that, you need a bot to do this. You can ease the process by putting second target into a focus and throwing pyro at focus target without changing current target

[donovan403]

Hm ok can you please show me what to put into a macro to cast pyro last at focus and also one to cast inferno blast at focus please with that I could easily do it I'm not very good at the target swapping fast enough that's the only problem I'm having , and when I don't get enough crits to chain 3 into a then end up not having one to put in target b lol

[Charge me Doctor]

#showtooltip
/use [modifier:shift][target=focus] Pyroblast;
/use Pyroblast;

I guess this will work. You can change modifier button to alt or ctrl. With regular click on macro it should cast pyroblast, with modifier it should cast pyroblast on focus target. Change pyroblast to inferno blast to get another macros

[Araitik]

#showtooltip
/use [modifier:shift][target=focus] Pyroblast;
/use Pyroblast;

I guess this will work. You can change modifier button to alt or ctrl. With regular click on macro it should cast pyroblast, with modifier it should cast pyroblast on focus target. Change pyroblast to inferno blast to get another macros

Warning, if you close and reopen brackets it won't work, because the target=focus is interpreted as the default action.

Correct syntax :

#showtooltip
/use [modifier:ctrl,target=focus] Pyroblast
/use Pyroblast

Or using the single line syntax :

#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrl,@focus][nomod] Pyroblast

[donovan403]

awesome ty much easier

[elpadrino293]

I've had success using:

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus] Pyroblast
/cast Alter Time (to cancel Alter Time to regain procs/buffs immediately)

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus] Inferno Blast

and making a TellMeWhen Icon to track the remaining duration of my Ignite on my Focus Target.

Voltaa made a pretty good WeakAura too if you use that:

I didn't think to add Alter Time to the Focus Pyroblast macro either. I'll have to toss that into my macro.

Me either, that's a good idea.

[Komman]

Adding Alter Time to Focus Pyro is a bad idea. You waste a chance of getting an extra Pyro proc from POM Pyro critting, and you potentially munch the HU that you get from using AT.

What I've been doing is something along the lines of this:
1. HS + HU + PBoI + 4 sec left on BBoY&Meta : Potion + POM + AT
2. Pyro main target until no HS
3. @Focus POM Pyro. I do this with a macro.
4. If HS, Pyro main target
5. AT -after- last pyro lands
6. Pyro main target twice - this might both be HS pyros, or the latter one might be POM Pyro. This depends on crit luck, but if you snapshotted PBoI + BBoY correctly, you should be near crit cap.
7. @Focus IB. I do this with a macro.
8. Combustion main target

this is indeed correct. 9/10 times tonight my heating up was munched away leaving me only a single pyro to fire at the boss. I still managed and 800k ignite though, twice that of my previous best


Has anyone had any luck with logging fights using this 'mechanic'? id be interested to see some warlocks put in their place
