Raz's AFNuke2 for 105 Fire Wizies

[Razkle]

I have spent weeks working on a more streamlined version of AFNuke and one that is more stable than the ones I have found. I am not the original programmer of this macro, I just found that it was extremely unstable and did not do the kind of damage I can do manually, so I fixed it! And renamed it AFNuke2!

I worked on it with the mindset that if it did not help me do more DPS then it was removed! Yes I know you probably have a spellset you want to use, fine change it, good luck with that. Me and my friends tested this with every spellset every wizard claimed was perfect and the one in here is by far the highest SUSTAINED DPS one we have tested. With a NAKED 105 with max AAs we were getting 90k DPS! With my main wizard I get 150k to 225k all damn day! (bard in group running only Fierce Eye) I have NEVER had the tank have to wait for any of my wizzies to med using this lineup! Expect 100k+ average DPS in group content and insane DPS in a raid with this!
I have tested and removed code that was not required for a fire Wizard. I also designed the spellset for a 105 Wizard with the correct AAs to be useful. If you do not have the required AAs and spells then this macro will not perform as intended. If you have a bard or a chanter or a druid expect MUCH higher DPS!

I know some people ask for money before releasing something awesome, I want to throw back to a day when people wrote shareware and if you find it useful, you can pay the author. In Kronos please.
Now, I have done all the work for you if you can follow SIMPLE directions which are INCLUDED then you will become an ass kicking Fire Wizard!
Enjoy!

If you find it useful, if you use it, then you should Send me at least 1 Krono or send me 10 Kronos, send me whatever you feel the value is, but please support the shareware effort and my next project..... afnukeMAGE edition!

P.S. if you find this useful please donate in Kronos whatever you feel the value is. On Zek server you can parcel me Kronos to "RedRaz" on ZEK and have fun with this macro!

AFNuke2 Instructions.txt tells you how to use the other files
server_toonname.ini is the holies and aaspend data for AAs
AFNuke2.mac is the main macro
AFNuke2Gem.mac will mem the correct spells in your gem slots
General.inc - this is based on Williams and is a REQUIREMENT to make this macro work correctly! Replace yours!
Wait4Rez.inc - This is the standard one but you need it
Spell_Routines.inc - correct version for this afnuke2

Seriously if you do this right then your 30k to 40k wizzies will be doing 100k+ and in some cases over 200k DPS! Honest!

- - - Updated - - -

oh and a special thanks to William12 and Nytemyst who posted the original source mac that allowed me to make this one!

SPECIAL UPDATE - ADDED the 85 Heroic Version and the level 100 version!

I have 4 mage boxes but this makes me want to add a wizzie group, if only I could have my mages do this kinda dps.

 

[Razkle]

my final test was 4 wizzies 1 cleric and 1 warrior and even tds named just melted!

 

[Dretski]

I like this a lot, however it keeps chain casting Pyromancy. Could it be different levels of this AA screwing it up?

 

[Razkle]

yup pyromancy needs to either be maxed as described or you need to change your server_toonname.ini pyromancy level to match your level IE

downshit2=/if (!${Bool[${Me.Song[Mana Reciprocation].ID}]} && !${Bool[${Me.Song[Frostweave Aura Effect II].ID}]} && !${Bool[${Me.Song[Wildspark Aura Effect II].ID}]} && !${Me.Buff[Pyromancy XXIV].ID} && !${Me.Invis}) /alt act 514

simply change the XXIV to match your lesser pyromancy until you get yours maxed

- - - Updated - - -

step 1 cast pyromancy on yourself, step 2 mouse over your pyromancy to see what level it is, step 3 put that XXIII or whatever your lesser one is and don't forget to update your holy as you get your aa maxed

- - - Updated - - -

and if you think its good now, just wait till you get the AAs as required and watch your DPS melt shit!

 

[Dretski]

The wiz keeps running around for small distances after each kill too, not sure if this has to do with the General.inc leash stuff to do?

 

[Razkle]

if your on a mount you need to set up doleash=1, doleashtoon=1 and put the name of someone in your party to leash to... its actually some weird shit in mq2cast doing that

- - - Updated - - -

DoLeash=1
Leashlength=10
DoLeashToon=1
DoLeashToonName=tooninpartynamehere

- - - Updated - - -

every OTHER afnuke I have tried either does weird pauses between casting nukes, stops working for no reason, or after a rez refuses to go back to work! Mine ran for 6 days straight no fuck-ups! Even after dying over and over! Wiz just gets back up, cracks open a fresh can of whoppass!

- - - Updated - - -

I do NOT however suggest you have your wiz loot as its really not his job anyway and he will run around looting when you need him to be nuking shit till it glows!

 

[Dretski]

Dang, ran out of thanks on you alone today!
However, I tried the Pyromancy fix even before you said it, and it's not working anyways. I'll have to level it and see if it works I suppose! Used Archomancy before.

 

[Razkle]

did you see where in the code is pyromancy XXIV? if you do the steps to see what your pyro level is (if at all) you just need to change the XXIV to match your pyro.....

- - - Updated - - -

If it is zero you can set #2 to 0

downflag2=1
change to
downflag2=0

- - - Updated - - -

cause if he is chain casting pyro then he is not max dpsing like we want him to! he has one job dammit, NUKE

 

[Dretski]

Yeah, I found it even before you mentioned it and set it to the right level (tried 3 different ones as it levelled and /melee load + restart macro). He'll be max soon enough, and he's nuking like he should (110k sustained atm), just keep chain casting Pyro in between. Let me check it later tonight when it's maxed.

 

[Razkle]

I will give ya fair warning, I took almost all the anti-agro stuff out, so max your subtlety or get used to getting punched in the face as you burn nuke every mob that you fight! Like I told all the testers, if your tank cant hold agro you are gonna have a bad day!

 

[Dretski]

My SK takes care of that, no probs.

 

[Roy Donk]

pretty pumped to try this out.

 

[Chanticleer]

Will try this out later raz ty

 

[Razkle]

The old "benchmark" most of us lived with was 35-45k SUSTAINED dps, when you get maxed AAs and you have a buff in group (druid. enchanter or bard) you can SUSTAIN over 150k with this, I have seen PLENTY of fights where my nukes go off for well over 300k crit and it makes me all happy inside to see that! Keep in mind this macro is designed for SUSTAINED dps, not burst or cherry picked dps. In every test case this mac does 100k + average dps. Now don't get me wrong, if all your cooldowns are going you will see a fight that you do 35k followed by a fight 10 seconds later where you do 200k, but overall you should see most fights in the 100k (I am getting 175k average on my main wiz but he is full raid/rare geared)

My 2nd best Wiz gets about 150k sustained from this and my worst wiz gets 95k but he is basically naked.

I ran 7 Wizzies doing multiple variations of this macro to determine which setup was the best, what you see in the OP is the best of the best...

Do not forget to get at least TDS T1 arms for the HUGE fire damage bonus! Even Castaway for FTP is awesome!

- - - Updated - - -

I get asked a lot about using castaway vs latent, if you do then you will lose a lot of dps, if enough people are interested I can post the version that using a slightly different spellset that makes latent work, but who wants less dps?

- - - Updated - - -

Updated spellGems macro it now removes and then mems all your spells! woot Special Thanks to hoosierbilly for the remove current spellgems code and updated the instructions for the macro to reflect changes....

Everytime I try to start this with /mac AFNuke2 I get:

Unable to add macro line.
Couldn't open include file: \Macros\Wait4Rez.inc
Couldn't open include filed: \Macros\General.inc
The current macro has ended
Unable to add macro line.

- - - Updated - - -

I was able to grab the general.inc file from another AFNuke mac, and the Wait4rez.inc from the wiki. It would be helpful if you'd package everything for noobs like us who are trying yours before all else...

- - - Updated - - -

Noticed that /afhelp is not working

added those 2 to the main post, sorry

 

[eqgeek]

Something that is happening to me: When I click an item/or a spell gem manually, I get "You can't use that command while casting..." spammed at me.

I'm all out of thanks for the day, but THANKS!

make sure you are using the correct (the one I uploaded) general.inc

 

[eqgeek]

I just grabbed that one, and it fixed it. Thanks again.

 

[Razkle]

I just grabbed that one, and it fixed it. Thanks again.

YEAH! hot tip, Spell Gem #9 is a BUFF and you need to add it into your BUFF section if you want the rune and the extra MANA! Armor of the Codex

- - - Updated - - -

watching it today I am seeing crits in the 300-350k range with fierce eye from the bard running, its nice to see a mob take 350k damage and melt!

 

[eqgeek]

I also noticed in your AA list you don't have Sorcerer's Vengeance. Seems like a pretty good one to get eventually.

 

[Razkle]

I listed the bare minimum to get it working, I always max all AAs on wizzies, then AFTER that they can actually go FTP with castaway gear and non-vis non-prestige and still be powerhouses!

- - - Updated - - -

we tested it on a wiz with basically no AAs and a wiz with Max AAs, the no AA wiz was 40k-50k ish the max was 85k to 90k both were naked!

- - - Updated - - -

I have about 20 Wizzies at this point all in various stages of setups for gear/aa/level just for testing, its a sickness...

 

[eqgeek]

Haha! It sounds like it! I only have one... Using the mac makes me feel like it's finally giving me some dps!

 

[Razkle]

Every single tester that has used this says the same thing, its a game changer!

 

[Chanticleer]

does this work with mercs ? as MT or other none tank toons ? cause it was working now it isn't now that I took my no geared tank toon out

ok so figured out if Wiz dies he doesn't restart with mac that's why it isn't working , I died and mac isn't working now , was working before I died

 

[Razkle]

We tested it over and over, with deaths, with mercs out, with or without a mezzer, it always gets back up and goes with 1 expection, if the tank crashes/leaves games you have to restart it...

- - - Updated - - -

I would verify that you have the correct general.inc as posted.... that is 99% of most peoples issues

 

[Hambam]

Was excited to try this but going to wait. With todays patch it is going to mess with a few of the aa's sadly

 

[Razkle]

awesome, thanks DBG! Either way it will get fixed as I use this macro all day long

 

[eqgeek]

Hey Raz, one issue I see is that now and again my Wiz is picking up a bag from slot 8. I'll pop over to check on him, and he's holding the backpack and unable to mem a spell for buffing. I'm thinking it's something to do with the clickies I have in my bag and use as buffs.

 

[Razkle]

as I recall that issue was with not having a correct include file.... I know it used to happen to some of us and it was resolved, make sure your spell_routines.ini , general.ini , and wait4rez.ini are all the same ones we are using. they are all available in the OP

 

[eqgeek]

Ok, next thing... how do i get her to stop medding? She has like 80% mana and keeps sitting. I have Autosit=0

- - - Updated - - -

I updated all the files and she's still grabbing her bag. I think it happens when I click a numbus.

 

[Razkle]

my holy is set to sit your butt down when you are <90% so you don't run outta mana, you can turn off that holy

- - - Updated - - -

I used to have the grab my bag thing happen and I was pretty sure the general.inc fixed that.... will ask around

- - - Updated - - -

Guildy says it does that if you have a BUFF misspelled in your buff section

 

[eqgeek]

I downloaded General.inc again and checked all my buffs. It seems to only happen with the Butterfly Nimbus. I think it picks it up and puts it in slot 8, then is stuck with the bag in one hand....

[BUFFS]
SelfBuff1=Shoulder Guards of Alarm
SelfType1=Item
SelfBuff2=Nightfang's Ring of Protection
SelfType2=Item
SelfBuff3=Temple Raider's Cloak
SelfType3=Item
SelfBuff4=Shifting Wind Belt
SelfType4=Item
SelfBuff5=Vine Runed Ring of the Angered
SelfType5=Item
SelfBuff6=Butterfly Nimbus
SelfType6=Item
SelfBuff7=Shield of the Pellarus
SelfType7=gem12
SelfBuff8=Shield of Consequence
SelfType8=gem12
SelfBuff9=Armor of the Codex Rk. II
SelfType9=Gem9
SelfBuff10=Perfected Levitation
SelfType10=AA

 

[Razkle]

afnuke is NOT kiss, you cannot put things in slots that they are not setup for IE 12x 2 and expect it to work correctly. Never did an AA as a type not sure if that is ok, I would put that in a holy... I can already see you are adding stuff outside the bounds of what we found stable so not 100% sure how it will react, I will try to reproduce it on my side... I know afnuke does NOT like things to not be where it wants them!

- - - Updated - - -

ok what I would LIKE you to try is run the macro in it's pristine form and make sure it is working for you, then and only then you can add your extra stuff to it, but keep in mind, all the extra buffs and stuff you are casting are just taking cycles away from your nukes..... wizard has 1 job, and its not buffs....

- - - Updated - - -

Shield of Consequence is just basically a rune and Shield of the Pellarus is a hp buff, the ONLY reason I even put Armor of the Codex in was because it has a mana regen component..... you should not be getting hit if your tank is doing his job and if he is not, no 5k hp buff is gonna save your butt

- - - Updated - - -

I get it, everyone wants to "customize" everything, but please get a benchmark of your toon with the macro as designed before you start doing things to make it less effective. This macro is designed to kill shit as fast as possible so you can get results..... Trust the macro, please!

 

[Dretski]

I found this in the AASpend list:

8=Fundement of Intellect|M

It's spelled wrong and should be 8=Fundament of Intellect|M
Not that I worry, I got it for free anyways.

 

[eqgeek]

The macro works great right out of the box.... I slowly added in clickies and that worked. I later went back and added the butterfly nimbus, which works except that it leave her holding a bag. I later added in the other buffs, those also work. I lastly added the lev AA which also works great. I only added the buffs because that's what the instructions said to do.

Also, I ALWAYS use things a little differently than most people. I don't usually just set my toons up to stand in one camp and nuke. I like to run HAs, camp named, do missions and quests, etc. I only 2 box and my enchanter is the tank, so the wiz is straight DPS for me (with 2 wiz mercs). I wanted to test this mac out and see if she does better DPS than with kiss, but I can maybe fine tune my holys and kiss to give me some of the same DPS as your mac does.

 

[mcarpe]

I love the macro, I know shit about wizards..mine just follows me around using kiss and was around 40ish to 50k dps on avg killing junk. With this mac, the wizard is 150-200k dps for a pretty steady avg. It's pretty awesome. I'd love to be able to make them //chaseon and //switch //backoff via eqbc or something.

 

[Dretski]

I found a pretty strange and very obnoxious bug. If the wizard dies and Quiescent Harvest isn't up, the client will stall. Even after ending the macro, I can't use any abilities or spells whatsoever before I relog. No clue what's causing this atm.

I second this... Plus the call assist on a merc. I like to keep the wiz mercs on burn but I need a second to grab all aggro.
