Don't make me throw my libram at you

[DarkStag]

Quick question, is there anyway to macro my seals with the librams I wan to use at the moment, ie Valiance with my SoV, and Deadly with my SoComm? I use SoComm for trash mobs and normally start out with CS. I just figged I could try to get the most out of my attacks.

Here's one of the macros I use for seal/libram swapping. Just match up the seal of choice with the libram of choice, and throw in your preferred sound file (or don't use one at all).

#shotooltip Seal of Corruption
/cast Seal of Corruption
/equip Libram of Valiance
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ashbringer\\ASH_SPEAK_12.wav")
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Thank you sir, I had just figured it out and then decided to delete my post. Sound could be fun.

keep in mind that libram procs are all exclusive with each other. Meaning that you can only have 1 libram proc up at a time. (i.e. XXXXXX Gladiator's Libram of Fortitude proc cannot be active at the same time as the Libram of Valiance proc.)

Libram Twisting with librams such as the one that adds base damage to your divine storm (cant remember the name) is possible though, as the libram doesnt give you a buff.

/cast [mod:shift] Seal of Corruption;
/equip [mod:shift] Libram of Valiance
/cast [mod:ctrl] Seal of Righteousness;
/cast [mod:alt] Seal of Command
/equip [mod:alt] Deadly Gladiator's Libram of Fortitude
/cast [target=player] Blessing of Might

My personal favorite.

I really don't get why people worry about using SoC for trash. The difference between SoV and SoC on trash is definitely there, but if the thing lives long enough to get 5 stacks of vengeance on it then vengeance is the better way to go. If it doesn't live long enough to get 5 stacks of vengeance on it then it really doesn't matter how much dps you had on it cause it was obviously going to die anyways.

My retribution build simply doesn't have the points needed for SoC and the dps difference isn't that huge on trash. Not to mention, with the strength libram as long as you are hitting SoV procs every 8 seconds you pretty much are guaranteed the strength it offers and its not that unusual to be hitting SoV procs every 8 seconds even on trash.

Also, it should be noted that every time you use a switch libram macro it automatically cancels out whatever ability you are casting (although instant casts with are 99.9% of all abilities retribution uses still land). You also lose a white hit when using the macro.

Thanks for all the input again. I only use it on trash before I get to the boss. If the boss is surrounded by adds, I don't even worry about Command, I just use Vengeance. I know that the dps is wasted swapping librams in combat.

Not if you place the /equip line after casting the seal. Like the 2nd poster showed. My macro is very similar:

#showtooltip: Seal of Vengeance
/cast Seal of Vengeance
/equip Libram of Valiance

And same for Command/Righteousness/Gladiator's libram.

At first I had the equip part first, but it indeed fucked up my casting and sometimes didn't even switch the seal. But now the libram swapping goes nicely during a global cooldown.

And about the trash seal - often using Seal of Righteousness on single targets that die too fast for SoV gives better results than SoC because of the much more powerful Judgement. However, against 2 or more targets SoC is the clear winner.

TL;DR version: Why should I preform at my best, when I can do worse without putting forth effort.

I perfer using seal of wisdom on bosses epic crits, cause i don't know how to change seals.

i might be reading this wrong, but are you trying to libram swap like, during a fight so you can have say the base damage one on CS and DS and the str buff?

[peknoman]

i have no clue about what is going on here, but five star for the title.
