    you see that kind of behavior in action here if you run it at 0.25 speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cObqUH-zKwg
    Castsequence got changed in cata. They changed how the "reset" part works which makes such macros much worse in current client too.

    No, it has always been like like it's now. reset=5 for example resets in 5 seconds IF not pressed. I have made macros since forever and it has always been like that.

    Want some proof?

    https://legacy.zam.com/wiki/WOW_Guid...uide_to_Macros

    guide from 2007: "Which sounds great, right? Unfortunately, not so much. The reset= function is an 'idle timeout' reset, which is to say that if you don't press the button for 10 seconds it will reset to the first position. It will _not_ reset if you keep hitting the button"

    i wasn't serious. making any class changes would ruin the whole TBC thing. the nerfing and buffing will naturally happen with every expansion getting a classic treatment.

    If warriors weren't nerfed in Classic we're sure as hell not going to nerf other classes in TBC because the warriors are now crying babies.

    The macro on private servers simply lowers the skill cap, how ever any decent player can time auto shots correctly inbetween abilities and vice versa with a working auto shot timer.

    There will be absolutely zero performance difference between a player using the macro and a player not using it. The most useful macro will be that of binding Kill Command to about every other ability to maximize its up-time.

    So just to point this out. The 1 button macro was actually a dps loss. The rotation can be performed much more optimally without it. Also the macro is broken with the newer client. So why not reward the class that puts in more work then say shadow bolt spam with a better output. Seems sound to me

    Uh what? No difference in dps with a subpar macro and the correct rotation eh? Go home friend you’re drunk.

    So BM is nerfed, now Warlocks are top DPS, nerf them too.

    But now Mages are on top, nerf them too.

    And so on and so on until we're left with Retail classes.
    That's all there is to be said about the topic. Just leave the class balance changes and tuning out of the changes for the classic releases.

    Some people actually believe there is a world where the game is fun when everyone is doing the exact same dps and have all the exact same amount of raid utility. I think the closest thing to this is what we call checkers.

    TL;DR -- The macro that works on TBC beta is far from optimal play. If hunters are using these "EZ one button macros" they will be doing garbage DPS compared to hunters that do things manually with a swing timer (like we do already in Classic).
    Tired of ElvUI and its various clones?

    Try one of these:

    Altz UI
    // RealUI // KaitUI // ls: UI

    There is no class balance in 2021 and some people ask to change the 2007 version of the game? It's not really doable.

    That's a whole other discussion mate. My point is not that TBC is perfectly balanced or even that it's perfect the way it is imbalanced (if that makes sense). My point is that of all the topics to ask for changes, class balance and design is the definition of a slippery slope, plus on top of that I really don't think any of the Classic-only players (including myself) trusts the current devs one iota to do anything sensible with the game. If you don't believe me, look at the whole shebang with the LW drums.

    Yeah I completely agree, the only good changes that have come through tbc so far have been ones that have been brought up and suggested through the community for years. (Paladin seal change etc)

    Can you imagine what pvp would turn into if they tried to balance it in tbc lol.

    That's exactly my point and I don't even want to think about it!

    Macro doesnt work on PTR. And TBH who needs it. Use 2 button rotation instead of 1 button xD both sounds silly. Probably timeing will be a bit shifted but i think it wouldnt affect that much. Just use swing/shot timer.

    What? xD Thats macro was efficient as fuck. Mybe u know some lame version. Original macro was perfectly timed with correction of weapon speed. You could apply timeing to 0.1s ><

    People are all saying this macro is working in the beta, did they break it?

    Since when is holy paladin on the list the only reason you bring 1 at the most 2 is the blessing and tank healing combo, remove the blessings and holy paladin would be the worst class/specc ingame.
