During the Okuyama Festival Battlefield, a large number of shaman trumpets emerged from all major servers, and among these shaman trumpets, many players also chose to play Enhanced Shaman. After all, judging from the data on WCL, Enhanced Shaman is currently the most popular one. The DPS ranked fourth in overall ability.
Although the specialization of Enhancement Shaman seems very simple. Under the premise of reasonable equipment, just press which skill is on. However, when novice players actually operate it, they find that Enhancement Shaman is very cumbersome.
The Enhanced Shaman has 8 commonly used skills, and it is necessary to monitor skill triggers and totem times. When facing a BOSS that needs to be moved, it is necessary to repeatedly replenish totems. If you add in the fire element snapshot and wolf control, the Enhanced Shaman can be regarded as the most cumbersome profession besides the Cat Druid.
Players in WLK Classic Server are generally older, and their energy is not as good as when they were young, but they still have energy. After playing a dungeon with Enhanced Shaman, they will be exhausted. In order to reduce the complexity of the operation, Enhanced Swordsman players issued the following one-click output macro.
/startattack
/castsequence reset=combat flame shock, storm strike, fire nova, lava slam, earth shock, fire nova, storm strike, fire nova, flame shock, lava slam, fire nova, storm strike, earth shock, Fire Nova, Lava Slam, Fire Nova
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
The so-called one-click output macro is to bind some of the commonly used skills and professions of the Enhancement Shaman to a button in the form of a sequence, and this macro is respectively targeted at Flame Shock, Storm Strike, Fire Nova, Earth Shock, and Lava Fierce. These five skills are sorted, which is equivalent to saving 4 keystrokes.
When using it, just plug in the totem and press it directly. When triggering the vortex weapon, manually press the lightning bolt and lightning chain. If the lava totem disappears, manually replenish it. If the lightning shield disappears, also manually replenish it. It is much simpler than full manual operation.
Fat Brother specifically tested this macro and found that this macro is very easy to use. Not only does it greatly reduce operations, but the skill connection is also smoother, which can greatly improve the DPS level of players with handicapped hands.
However, this macro also has two flaws:
The first is that the mana consumption is very good, especially in the 5-player and 10-player versions. It is difficult to guarantee battery life even if you consume big mana. After all, the CD is used to release skills, but in the 25-player version, the BUFF is sufficient, and it is paired with Shaman's Wrath. In this case, battery life is no problem.
The second is that it will be very embarrassing in a BOSS battle that requires movement. Because it is a sequence macro, if there is no fire totem, it will be stuck at the flame nova. If the BOSS leaves the area of the fire totem and activates the fire element at this time, it is equivalent to releasing the flame nova in vain. If you change the lava totem again, the fire element will be wasted.
In view of the existence of the above two defects, players also adjusted this one-click macro at the same time, and deleted all the flame nova in the one-click macro. In this way, they only need to match the manual flame nova, and the problem is solved.
Some players are happy with one-click macros, and some players despise one-click macros. In fact, whether to use one-click macros depends entirely on the player's own level. When it comes to the upper limit of DPS, one-click macros are naturally inferior to hardcore players, but when it comes to the lower limit of DPS, one-click macros can definitely crush a lot of handicapped players.
Instead of complaining about the cumbersome operation of enhancing the shaman while delivering the lowest DPS of the entire group, it is better to use one-click macro to achieve a relatively eye-catching DPS. What’s more, the level of players in the wild group is relatively average. One-click macro can completely achieve the lowest DPS of the entire group. One DPS.
