What makes RDM an easy DPS?

My thing is really only when those changes are asked to be made universal, like with your suggested Jolt 2 changes. I'll politely disagree that they're needed and that's all though.

I can understand and respect this position. Maybe asking for improvements to the macro system is the better answer for me, so that people in my situation can compensate for physical limitations with less performance penalty, and those who are more able can play the dps jobs as they are presented, with all their nuances and complexities intact.

You'll notice I have a non-macroed Jolt, Verfire and Verstone on my bar as well. The non-macroed Jolt is there for Scorch since putting /ac "Scorch" <t> at the top of the macro doesn't work. I have Verfire/Verstone on the bar so I can see the procs, and if necessary, use the manual buttons, but 90% of the time the macro works well enough for me.

/ac Scorch doesn't work because the game is expecting Jolt at that time.

All due "don't macro combat actions" lectures aside, here are my recommendations if you're still going to macro all that for accessibility.

There's an appropriate order to actions in a macro so that you don't delay a GCD for an oGCD. You've put Fleche and Contre Sixte before all your spells. This is something you should always avoid, even when the macro is being used for accessibility reasons. By prioritizing Fleche and Contre Sixte, you will lose about 1 whole second every time one of them comes off cooldown just when you are about to cast a spell, and you'll lose 2 whole seconds if the other one comes off cooldown during that 1 s. oGCDs should always come at the end so that you can use them without delaying your spells. Delaying Fleche or Contre Sixte by 3.2s so that you can dualcast a spell pair will result in far fewer lost oGCDs than the GCDs lost from delaying spells 1s for your oGCDs.

The way this macro is written, if you happen to be within one Verstone cast of being white tilted and you need to cast Jolt or Verfire to avoid becoming white tilted, you're going to cast Verstone and get white tilted, which will cost you between two and four GCDs to rebalance, leaving you up to ten seconds behind your melee schedule. So do watch out for that so you can manually Verfire or Jolt in that particular case.

Ty for the advice. I Will explore what you've suggested!

Its very self explanatory. While there are little tricks you can do to optimize it? Its a pick up and play job because the skills lead into the rotation nice.
