Hi friends. I’m leveling my augmenter and getting used to the empower mechanics, but Upheaval is not obeying the menu settings regarding empower spells.
We can:
1 - Press and hold then release when the desired empower level is reached
2 - Press once and then press again when at the desired empower level
I currently have my menu settings set for #1. When I cast Upheaval, it always charges up fully and then self-triggers. If I want it to stop charging part way, I have to press it again, which means it is obeying #2.
I’ve verified that my empower settings are correctly configured, so I don’t know what’s up. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I use the default Blizz UI and only have the following addons:
RaiderIO | Skada Dmg Meters | AstralKeys | MapCoords | DBM

Are you using it with a macro because that’s the only behavior of empowered abilities with a macro?

Hi avarrity, thanks for replying.
In answer to your question, actually yes. I have it macroed with Tip the Scales because I wanted to be lazy with Tip the Scales’ usage.
I will definitely unmacro it, but do you know why it behaves that way?
Because a macro isn’t meant to work with empowers as the different button/cast functionalities can’t be written into it (hold/release and press twice).
If you really want to be lazy with tip, which I don’t really know why you would, you can just macro it into your breath of eons instead of upheaval. Also, it would be 100000x better to use it with fire breath than upheaval in nearly every situation.
If you’re really looking to get used to the class and using empowers, though, I very strongly urge you to bind TTS separately.
Macroed with tip of the scales works, I have mine macroed to fire breath. However, macroing fire breath to tip of the scales is a pain.
With or without Tip macro, the empowered abilities do not function properly. Upheaval almost always instant sends at lvl 1
Thanks for the details re: tip the scales + fire breath, although I’m taking your last part to heart. I really do want to learn the class well, so I’ve bound TTS separately. However, I admit that I don’t really understand the best application of it.
In most cases, packs of mobs will benefit from a huge upheaval. The only situation I can see needing a small upheaval is single-target or boss fights, in which I’m just wasting 1.5-ish seconds to expand it out. So, wouldn’t I always want to use the biggest upheaval possible?
My use case is predominantly mythics, as that’s what my tiny guild exclusively runs.
