Raz's AFNuke2 for 105 Fire Wizies

Any idea why this macro isn't concussing? He just nukes and nukes and nukes and dies. (Yeah, I know, I need a better tank...)
 
I used to have it cast concussion but then I opted for max damage and all else be damned, to be fair I did warn everyone that if your tank sux you will have a bad day....

What, me listen to warnings? No worries. I just wanted to AFK and level up a bit, I get through all the mobs fast enough with more "traditional" tools. Just mucking around with new toys to see what I could get =P

I'll definitely try to see if it works as well on named, which I think it would. After I finish leveling...
 
I'd really like to see the mac able to start up/assist a target vs. having to manually add a name if I tank swap. And maybe a toggle for follow/camp in game. I never run in to aggro issue, granted wizzes are max aa and so is my war/sk.

The plugin I wrote based on AFNuke2 will dynamically assist the group MA, and if no MA, the MT... It wouldn't be too hard to code that into the macro version too. As for follow, try /follow with MQ2AdvPath loaded... It works fairly well... Break follow with /follow again, or /afollow off (I think). I use a hotkey to make the other players target whichever toon I am playing, and /follow, then /follow again when I want them to stop...
 
interesting, is anyone else noticing an insane amount of DPS out of this after this last patch? Looks to have gained a ton almost double the damage!?!?

- - - Updated - - -

Ok maybe not double but a good solid 30%+
 
I am using afmage now, I just didn't release it here, I have not worked out all the kinks yet.....
 
This was working for me last patch but not it doesnt cast and i get a spell set null. It burn's my AA cool downs and just sits there any suggestions?
 
Not sure if it was ever answered completely, but you can easily set up your own "chase" by just doing
Rich (BB code):
/bct [character name] //stick id ${Me.ID} 5 uw
so for instance:
/bct ethereal //stick id ${Me.ID} 5 uw

the 5 modifier is the distance, the uw modifer is just telling it to follow underwater (or levitate). I always put uw in there just to be sure.

then name another hotkey for stopping:
Rich (BB code):
/bct [character name] //stick off
example"
/bct ethereal //stick off

exchange /bct with /bcg for your whole group if you want, or /bca if you're running a raid or something of characters (or out of group characters).
 
I noticed it doesn't use Arcane Fury at all and it doesn't use Fury of Ro on nameds either.

Arcane Fury will easily let you squeeze out another 20k dps per burn and also It is set to use both Arcane Destruction and Frenzied Devastation (they appear to stack but realistically they don't add damage when you use both at the same time, it just wastes one of them). Arcane Destruction you should use for non named 2 pulls generally with normal Twincast as a mini burn (also works to throw fury of ro in with the mini burn while it does stack with fury of kerafyrm it's a minor boost overall popping both at the same time). Arcane fury is a huge boost though and most definitely should be added into your next build.

Once I get time sometime this weekend I will post the revised code to use Arcane Fury on nameds as well as Fury of Ro (I see fury of ro is in there but it isn't firing) for anyone who wants to do a bit more dps. To give you an idea of how much Arcane Fury helps, the first two wizards on this parse are using afnuke2 and the 3rd one is using regular KA but with Arcane Fury and Fury of Ro being used on the burn:

Combined for about 10 named kills over the last two days:

(no raid focuses on them, no raid gear at all all budget CoTF tier 1 GROUP focuses)

I am assuming you made this mac because you hated how slow KA does stuff, it's very obvious to see that your macro is 100x better for wizards, (Kiss assist is a masterpiece don't get me wrong, but for min maxing on casters it just can't compare because the turbo is too low) it responds three times as fast and attacks 3x faster than KA but neglecting those two burns on the named fights really hampers their DPS.

If you're too lazy to experiment yourself i wouldn't mind showing you the difference between burning on a target dummy with/without arcane fury. I box about 20 wizards in my raid team and only 8 mages - when I box though i do everything manually as id never trust a bot to play as good as a human but your macro comes pretty close. I'm very happy you made it and very glad I found it and i am definitely willing to help you fine tune it as much as possible.

Sorry if I seem arrogant at all, just trying to lend a helping hand to make this macro even better than it already is. I've played the wizard class for about two years and I generally always top the parses in the guild I am in only ever being beaten by a Berserker *shakes fist* damn you berserkers. My rotation for raids was always the 3 Ethereals (Fire, Ice, Weave) and the 3 Forces I never used anything else during burns and I burned for about 220k at 100 in CoTF t1 raid focuses. Considering this is all around DPS though your rotation is pretty perfect the only other alteration I would make is about Banestrike. I never really found Banestrike that worth it because it takes up time to use for very very very little damage. I will have to experiment more with it on/off using this macro and see what's good.

Again, amazing amazing amazing work. Looking forward to seeing what you cook up with the mages
 
Im not sure where I am messing up but I am sure its on my end......

I have put all the files in the Macro folder....Except server_toonname.ini i put that in the eq folder
I target the tank, type /mac afnuke2

It runs, it chain casts spells....but im only hitting 40kdps....I am guessing its my AA's (level 105, 10kaa)
 
Did you just copy the server_toonname to the mq folder, or did you type /melee save then copy the stuff to the file this generates? Also after you copy the melee info over you need to do a /melee load on the toon in game.

Thanks for your candor and critique of my mac, me and guldies worked on it for months and I just use it now as it does what I need it to do. That being said, I am always looking for ways to improve what I do. I thank you for pointing out a couple of things that need fixing and I will get on it as Wizzies are my jam and I have a shitton of them. They are the heart of all my groups. Currently I am lazily working on afmage but the wiz version is my passion so I will look at the code and implement the changed. Again thanks for the input, together we are all stronger!
 
I need to know how to make it not follow so damn close ? lol

Simple Change Leashlength=25 or whatever you need...

Rich (BB code):
[GeneralSettings]
DoLeashToon=1
DoLeashToonName=killroy
DoLeash=1
Leashlength=15
 
I just copied it and where it says to on name, I put the tools name

- - - Updated - - -

I want to make sure im doing it right....

So I loaded up the toon. Typed /melee save....Then I went in and added all the info from servername_toonname into the file that was saved just adding it to the bottom of the file. Then i loaded toon back up and /typed melee load...

Is that correct?
 
So before I was only looking at the downshits, I realized you don't actually pop frenzied and arcane at the same time on nameds (although it says to in the downshits) which caused me to open up the macro code. I'm assuming you have something in here that overwrites the need to use the downshits as the downshits are even a bit out of date, they have the old Prolonged destruction and not the new frenzied etc.

You shoulda told me I was retarded earlier and you had Arcane Destruction being used correctly! I sadly only read the downshits and I didn't delve into the mac code itself. I pulled it up tonight though and edited in fury of Ro (which was in there, but was setup differently than the rest which could be why it wasn't firing as intended) as well as added arcane fury to it.

Here is the edited code:

In place of Concussive Storm have you messed around with Dichotomic Fire at all? I stopped playing sometime in TDS and just recently came back for TBM and noticed this ability. It's like a 100k delve nuke with a 25% hate reduction component. Extremely high mana cost and a long cooldown but if you stopped using concussive storm because of no damage and still want a hate reduction component with damage that may be worth experimenting with. I am overdue for spending a few days in front of a combat dummy figuring out a new rotation so I don't know if it is good yet but when I saw a 100k delve nuke I almost shit my pants.


I'm currently waiting for a named to pop to see if my code edits are fubar but they should work just dandy
 
We don't flame each other here, all opinions are welcome. I by no stretch of the term am an expert. I do however test the ever livin shit outta most stuff that interests me. Sometimes I miss stuff, sometimes I don't. That is why it is here, so we can all double check each others work and grow as a community.

Most of the testing with TBM shit has ended in wizzies with no mana and headaches. so I opted out of using them, yes you could put concuss back in but it is easier to make your tank do his fucking job.

If you ever think your work is done you are mistaken. Evolve or Die!

I do find it is an insane amount of mana for all TBM shit, like jesus 16k mana for that nuke? That's over 10% of my mana pool without raid gear! I do agree it's easier to fix shit on the tanks end than using concuss and honestly most of the time shit you'd need to use concuss on dies within a Silent Casting anyway (in my experience at least). When I raid with my wizzies they never pull agro because my tank is a warrior and the Warrior's double pets taunting off each other it still builds bonkers agro, I see it was never fixed lol


The only other thing I have noticed is Shield of Consequence (the new shield of fate) you should add for buffs to throw onto the wizzy. You said you box raids too so you probably know how annoying it is to have some AoEs nearly one shot the wizzies (Like Aaryonar's mechanic in ToV) or Wild ramps of any kind, Vulak in particular can be a nuisance. Shield of fate will eat nearly the entire hit as well as dozens of other mechanics. It helps loads for the solo raiders like ourselves with keeping our wizzies alive especially if they're under geared like mine are. I'll take a look at adding it myself and posting revised code sometime later today I am currently doing fear on the TLPs.

Also after reading your code, really good job for being self taught, I'm impressed. I taught myself HTML but this is my first foray into anything different
 
hmmm will look at the code again, for the follow....

- - - Updated - - -

It could just be that your ass smells like Hope and Pixie Styx and they cant help themselves.... but prolly not...
 
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=85709 goes into range slot btw. I had no clue until today. It's of course useless to a free wizard since it's prestige and requires either a slot 4 (not available on wizard ranged as far as I can tell) or slot 8 (raid ranged, this is available freely), but you'll see a lot of extra DPS with this and ancient hedgewizard brew (which apparently adds to sympathetic strikes too, making them insane - I hear reports of 200k sympathetic strike crits) with this mac.
 
I did everything it said to get the mac going and it will not nuke. will buff and cast cd's but wont nuke please help
 
I did everything it said to get the mac going and it will not nuke. will buff and cast cd's but wont nuke please help

99% of the time it is because you don't have the spell set loaded... double check your spell lineup

- - - Updated - - -

or you don't have mq2cast loaded....
 
i use /mac afnuke2gem first then i start the mac after its done. kissassist works good but this one isnt, /plugin mq2cast adn still nothing

- - - Updated - - -

Also how would I add pyromancy into the buff section?
 
alrighty but why wont the mac cast stuff. 105 wizard. i was using a merc tank was that it?
 

That's a little one... :p Here's a couple using MQ2AFNuke. :p It is based on a lot of Razkle's hard work though, so he and his macro get a lot of the credit. One of these was probably due to Chromatic Haze. I peeled the date out of the logs because I am paranoid. It was against a TBM named. He melted very fast with only one wizard (CoTF-TBM raid geared though).

I love the 1.8M twincasts, and 27K sympathetic procs. I manually hit all the burns, but the plugin did the casting. Also, had a bard, IoG, Black Wolf, and Wizard primary burns... :) I never knew how nice it was to have a bard, but my Wizard's mana never went down... I think I might have to make one.

Never tested it with a merc, honestly don't think a merc tank can hold agro off a wiz with this macro
 
Jimbob....I love my bard atm with my wizard....Its the only reason I hit 100k dps occasionally (Average around 60k).....I really need to get my Enchanter/Wizard maxxed aa LOL
