I like faceroll castsequence macros, but they are situational, so I use modifiers. The thing is, this macro works some (or even most) of the time, but other times it seems bugged or like something is wrong.
#showtooltip
/cast [nomod, @cursor]Final Reckoning
/cast [mod:shift]Execution Sentence
/castsequence [mod:ctrl,@cursor] Avenging Wrath, 14, Final Reckoning, Wake of Ashes, Execution Sentence
Basically, the way I like to use it (ideally) is that I run in on a target, use blade of justice and judgement for 3 holy power, cast seraphim, then use the castsequence to faceroll. it pops my burst all in one go (wake of ashes comes before execution sentence to ensure that i have the holy power for it).
some weird things happen though. sometimes, for no apparent reason, it doesn’t work (everything off cooldown). other times, it casts in the wrong order (sometimes it casts execution sentence before wake of ashes. wtf?)
anyone have any tips or suggestions?
One possible explanation is that your trinket in slot 14 may not be firing and is therefore preventing the /castsequence from working. It could still be on a cooldown (i know you said you checked), or if it drains a target for example and you have no live enemy targeted then that too would prevent it from firing. As written it will just wait until it can fire that spell or item. Adding ‘reset=x’ where x is the number of seconds before the sequence resets may help some.
/castsequence reset=x [mod:ctrl,@cursor] Avenging Wrath, 14, Final Reckoning, Wake of Ashes, Execution Sentence
I have no idea why or even how it could cast in a different order. You could try disabling addons and reloading the UI.
My experience is that when you start trying to put that many spells and items into one castsequence macro is that you are likely to always have intermittent issues. I recommend trying the addon Gnome Sequence Enhancer (GSE 2) instead. There are multiple benefits for using GSE but the main one here is that if ANYTHING prevents a spell from firing it just cycles to the next command. Its a spammers wet dream.
NOTE: it can be used as a crutch to prevent you from really mastering your rotation. Not a huge deal for casual players but it is if your working on higher end content. GSE isn’t super hard to learn to program in but its not entirely intuitive so i recommend watching a guide.
Basically you’d put the following in the ‘on key press’ box:
/cast [nomod, @cursor]Final Reckoning
/cast [mod:shift]Execution Sentence
And the following for the main body of the macro:
/cast [mod:ctrl,@cursor] Avenging Wrath
/use 14
/cast Final Reckoning
/cast Wake of Ashes
/cast Execution Sentence
Hope this helps. GL
