Hey, Set out to make Enhance a little less confusing. Got the idea from here and made a few macros to make the day go smoother. For quick reference. I have my Fire Elemental Totem on my Left Action Bar 1.

Macros for action bar 1

(Button 1, both toolbars)
#showtooltip Stormstrike
/use [nomodifier] 10
/use [nomodifier] 14
/use [nomodifier] 13
/cast [nomodifier] Blood Fury
/castsequence reset=2 Stormstrike, Shamanistic Rage
/startattack

—-Macro pops trinket and racial on SS when available.. Pressing 1 again immediately after SS will pop your SR as well. Since SS has c/d the macro will reset itself during the C/d and SR will only be popped by pressing 1 back to back.. ———-

(Button 2, Action Bar 1)
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=6/combat Earth Shock,Magma Totem,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Flame Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Lightning Shield,Earth Shock,Magma Totem,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Lightning Shield,Fire Nova;

———This AB is used at all times except when you have your Fire Elemental out (The secondary toolbar removes Magma Totem so you don’t get rid of your elemental before his time)… ——–

When it is time for your Elemental use:

Fire Elemental Macro
#showtooltip Fire Elemental
/changeactionbar #2
/cast Fire Elemental

—-Having this off of the action bar allows you to not have to run the cast first and allows you to monitor his c/d a little better ——- This also switches you to your second action bar. Simply set the button 1 macro in the button 1 slot on AB2 and then set this macro as your number 2 button:

(Button 2, Tool Bar 2)
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=6/combat Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Flame Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Lightning Shield,Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova;

—– This macro ensures that you don’t drop a different fire totem and replace your elemental. When the timer on your elemental is over and he is gone, use the following to drop a new magma totem and revert to AB1 (The following should be placed on AB2 so that you can access it from there only):

#showtooltip Magma Totem
/cast Magma Totem
/changeactionbar #1

I’ve found that between these few macros you can really hold up a nice rotation and ease the process and clutter a bit. I hope these were helpful

After watching your video i tried out your macro and ended up making some changes that i would really like you to critique. It won’t cover lightning shield but it does take into account keeping flame shock on. Basic priority would be lightning bolt or chain lightning on 5 stacks, storm strike, then the following macro while SS is on CD.

I’ve never used a casts sequence to play before but this seemed to speed casting up significantly.

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=18\target Flame Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova

Hey, Nice blog post about Shamans :D
With 3.3 changes, Shamans look set to go up on the dps scale it seems :)

Thanks,

it is done via a castsequence macro.Basicalyl you select the red “?” as icon and the following as text:

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/castsequence [noworn:Shields]reset=6\target Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Earth Shock,Lava Lash,Fire Nova,Lightning Shield,Earth Shock,Lava Lash, fire Nova;Earth Shock,Earth Shock,Earth Shock,Lightning Shield,Earth Shock

Hope that helps!

Hello there,

Love the vid, seen it first on youtube. I am curious about your use of addons and macro’s. Specially sinds i see your number 2 button on action bar change a few times (after using it goes to a next spell/ability).

So is it a macro or an addon?

Nice vid love it. Best 1 I have seen about enh dps in 3.3.
