Hi guys, I am wondering if making a macro to cast all combustion + trinket (ferocity)+ orc racial is the way to go ?
Is there any reason to not cast all of those at the same time ?
Well orc racial is 2min CD so I could see why but combustion + trinket seems like a wise thing to do ?
You can’t really add trinket because normally combustion is used in the middle of another
Spell that’s being casted. Unless you doing something with pvp and you pop combustion straight up then sure.
Yeah, they don’t get triggered if you use it while casting.
As others have said, you can’t macro things with combustion if you want anything like an optimal combustion.
The normal play is to have a macro that pops trinkets/racials the same time as you’re casting the spell you’re going to combustion on.
So the macro pops trinket/racial and starts casting pyroblast or fireball or whatever (you should have macros for each). Then during the cast, you pop combustion like normal, then enter your combustion rotation.
Make a macro that uses the trinket and racial at same time and use it before you can whatever spell you’re going to use Combustion during.
For example, mine looks like this (I don’t have a DPS racial so substitute your racial for one of my trinkets)
/use 14
/use 15
(14 is my Badge, 15 is Soul Igniter).
I pop the macro, cast Scorch/Fireball, and use Combust in the middle of the that cast. I could prob add /cast Fireball in that macro but I prefer to keep it separate.
It is odd that a lot of videos I see recommend macroing stuff to your Combust when it’s useless because you’re ideally popping Combust while casting another spell.
PvP is a good reason to have it macro together. There is also the times in mythic+ where you go in to fights with insta pyro ready so I usually pop combust macro (which procs trinket) and just go straight in to instant cast fb insta fb for the quick infernal stacks.
If lowering your buttons is what you want to do it doesn’t hurt to have it macroed.
That being said I have it macroed and still have my trinket on my bars, since your opener typically involves casting trinket then pre casting fireball in to combust double FB.
I have a macro I can send you. HMU and I’ll copy/paste it to you. It pops hella hard and murders anything I cast at. I can kill 4-5 people during one combustion and if meteor hits them it’s lights out.
Try google firemage one shot macro on youtube, there are a couple nice current ones that help a max combust
You do give up a lot of control, but just getting that macro and deconstructing it shows you the rotation maximazed
Then spam it on pull after a hard cast fireball.
When it finally starts to hard cast your piroblast
judge if you need to try to hit like your pheonix flames or fire blast to proc one last prioblast instant if you still have the rune under you at that point.
The youtube guys have it better illustrated.
Here it is!
#showtooltip Combustion
/use 13
/castsequence reset=30 Combustion, Fire Blast, Fire Blast, Pyroblast, Fire Blast, Pyroblast
/cancelqueuedspell
The slightly more advanced version that requires you hardcasting a fireball and making sure to hit the two fireblast during the cast :
#showtooltip Combustion
/use 13
/castsequence reset=30 Combustion, Fire Blast, Fire Blast, Pyroblast, Pyroblast, Fire Blast, Pyroblast
/cancelqueuedspell
I really wouldn’t recommend using any kind of all in one combustion cast sequence macro. I’m pretty sure you’ll never get the number of pyroclasts that you should get and that’s assuming that the thing doesn’t lock up. It won’t work right during lust either.
I works with lust, Dapler. The only time where it doesn’t work is when you don’t have enough fireblast charges. But, I guess it’s a tool to help new fire mages. Once you understand the sequence, you can do it by yourself. A bit like those extra wheels on a bike. hehe
Right, I mean it works (kind of) but the castsequence line will run out before combustion is over in any high haste situation. You’d want to switch out that fireblast after the double pyro with a phoenix flames though.
In all honesty, you’re going to be much better off with the rotation in front of you and just practicing it manually until it’s second nature. Those macros can lock up if you use them too late in the cast too.
If you absolutely can’t do it or don’t care that your damage will be lower or that the thing might screw up once in a while, I guess it’s not the worst thing you could be doing.
Yeah. You need to be aware of situations where a different sequence will probably be better if you’re really trying to push for some harder content.
I don’t disagree with your way of doing things. But, I learned to play fire with macros, because I often found myself triple casting fireblasts, and I really hated it at first.
It’s definitely tricky at first. You definitely get tunnel vision on your fireblast and phoenix flame charges. It took some practice to be able to do it without looking lol. And that’s not to say I never screw it up 
Not the easiest spec to play, that’s for sure! haha
