That is not possible with Macros and I am pretty sure that bending an addon to do so is in a gray area of the terms of agreement …
Basically you’re pressing one button that predictively plays the game for you, which if it is more optimal than playing the class using your brain, is technicaly like botting
I like ice strike. It gives me maelstrom with frost strike and with swirling Maelstrom I get maelstrom from ice strike. It’s a win win for me. More Maelstrom generation to feed my wolves. And I don’t have to rely on storm strike spamming to generate maelstrom.
It’s cool to have a lot of buttons but there is a balance in there that needs to be met. For example, one thing people don’t realize when it comes to button bloat is having to cast 2 spells (with a GCD between them) to benefit from an effect that other classes get with one button. The biggest problem with button bloat is GCD imo. If more things were off GCD then great. I don’t really have an issue with button bloat and I am not acknowledging shaman has button bloat. There is rotational bloat and then there is support spells bloat. Not really sure which one people are talking about.
Seems like a lot of people are split. I’m of similar mind that its a GCD bloat or Action Bloat issue vs Bloat in the form of raw number of buttons.
For example, given some fun stuff you can do with delaying and timing it, I’m okay with Pwave activating Splintered after the Lighting Bolt is pressed. The fact that Lava Lash only spreads to 4 targets necessitates the whole of DF needing to do Pwave > Wolves > Tab Flameshock > Lava Lash > Bolt is where the issue is with Pwave. They could have made Lava Lash spread to 5 and take out a whole GCD in the setup on a 6+ target pull and help with the GCD Bloat.
I agree, enhance is in my opinion the best melee class, you can’t even group it in melee. It’s in a category of it’s own with totems and powerful of healing/pets, buffs it deserves better. C’mon y’all. Also, why the hell do evokers wear mail? They should be using leather. c’mon man!
Id rather them spread it to five, remove pwave and make CL/nova hit harder.
But its because i hate pwave. Id rather press every other button in our arsenal than use it. Its not because i dont know how to, its because i just legit hate the spell since sl. For ele i dont mind it, but it makes me nuts that they made that a priority to our damage profile instead of bolstering damage via our iconic abilities like wf procs. Storm strike etc
There’s literally a whole build that does that. So IDK what to tell you, mate. We’re not even playing Splintered Elements or Primal Maelstrom, so it’s a single button you hit and then you’re doing literally the whole setup you would have done for Fire Nova. Anybody complaining about Pwave at this point is either a child or has PSTD from Shadowlands. So either get hooked on phonics or go to therapy IDK.
Without splintered elements, i find it less valuable. Maybe you like to have that extra button to let those sausage fingers get a extra workout, or maybe you need the video game equivalent of a fidget spinner, but the spell could be completely removed and added to another ability to get the damage spread and we’d actually benefit because we could use other abilities in our already convoluted rotation.
But sure, go on kelliste, tell everyone how they’re wrong and only your opinion matters.
What 3 talents?
Holy hell, that’s a crazy insult/deflection, considering I actively play this game unlike that rat. I’m still 100% right. I’d still say it has value with Stormbringer in AoE, given you can still have a Lightning Rod on multiple targets, and it’s OK/a good thing that it is not the defacto go-to talent to be dropped in Single Target.
No mobility, stormstrike does no damage on a physical school, kited around, main abilities are elemental spells, no 2H spec, windfury is a joke. Its such a bad spec in pvp I dont know who the hell is in charge anymore. Needed a rework more than any other spec and they just laughed at it.
Haha my apologies dude, i was a boatload of cranky when i wrote that (didnt have coffee or protein shake and 1am wakeup on event days sucks)
You are right, it does have value. The lightning “fan” feels great to press. Could they bake it into an ability? Sure. The monk redo shows that, but its not exactly needed unless people like myself just want to be lazy.
Sometimes after long days i just want to zug and miss the old pure windfury damage builds where i smash stormstrike and let windfury do my damage for me, but back then we were mid at best anyway. I did test out the new lightning build today when i got home and it does feel good, less hectic than ele build. Now they need to fix totemic, i was stoked for that.
Since Cataclysm.
Dude, let me get this straight, the two most button bloat classes for melee are Enhancement Shaman and Monk, why have you chosen to suffer?
Join me, let us go Fury Warrior, Deamon Hunter, Deathknight, Paladin, Rogue, Feral Druid, or Melee Hunter. Let us suffer no longer.
As someone who recently picked up Enhancement Shamen i sorta wish i had a little bit less buttons. I love the aesthetic and how it plays but i’ve been prone to getting overwhelmed with my buttons. I get that its a skill issue but idk. I am having quiet a bit of trouble performing to what i feel like i can be which i guess is also a skill issue.
Just a little side note for new fury players fury also had button bloat…unless u use macros. I have three 1.5 min cooldown abilities that i use and macroing it into one is easy.
Just a heads if u have alot of abilties and are ovwrwhelmed with the amount of cooldowns u got macros warrior is a maceo heavy class always.
