[Steam Tonk] Warlock and Mage raid dps/utility

[Achi3]

Yup "yet another steam tonk thread", but this is for showing its utility in raids.

Video of the Shadow Bolt example:

Dps:

I'll take destro warlock as an example, but this is applicable for every single caster class in wow.

Requirements: Steam Tonk Controller, PvP trinket in the upper slot

Make a macro:

/use Steam Tonk Controller
/cast Shadow Bolt(Rank 1)
/use 13

Then immediately start spamming the hell out of your shadowbolt.

What it does is simple, it will use the casting time your shadow bolt rank 1 (1.2s) for any spell you spam after clicking on this macro. Going lower than 1.2s (1.5s in fact) is not of any use, since you're limited by the gcd anyways, hence the choice of sb rank 1.

You will actually cast shadow bolts rank 11 at 1.2s cast speed.

For mages, replace "Shadow Bolt(Rank1)" in the macro with scorch for example, and spam pyro/fb.

The only limitation to this in raid is the aggro your tank will be putting out, and you cannot move a lot (so use this on tank and spank fights).

So basically, choose any spell with a short cast time, place it in the second line of the macro, after after you trinketed out of the stun (it's instant) start spamming the spell you want to use.

Utility:

You can use the cast time of any spell with low cast time (like scorch or sb rank 1) to summon people, open a portal, etc. The only limitation is that you need an enemy target.
There are probably other ways of casting a short spell without a target, but I'll update later if I find some. ^^

Example for nearly instant ritual of summoning:

/use Steam Tonk Controller
/cast Shadow Bolt(Rank 1)
/use 13
/cast Ritual of Summoning

Nearly Instant portal:

/use Steam Tonk Controller
/cast Scorch
/use 13
/cast Portal: Orgrimmar

Nearly Instant teleport (mage):

/use Steam Tonk Controller
/cast Scorch
/use 13
/cast Teleport: Orgrimmar

 /use steam tonk controller

I believe i saw this posted before but it was with hearths and mounting. Was it taken down?

[Achi3]

This shit has ALL BEEN ****ING POSTED BEFORE


YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL


YOU ARE NOT CREATIVE


YOU ARE NOT UNIQUE


STOP THE STEAMTONK THREADS PLEASE

After reading those threads I did not understand what was really happening when using the tonk (the cast time part).

Anyways there are (should be) mods to delete redundant threads, why do you even bother posting here? Let the do their job. E-police much?

[Achi3]

Or, we could request the community have a level of intelligence above an average third grader...

However clearly you have proven that it is not an option. People will always be making RETARDED repost's in a pathetic attempt to get Rep off of something they had nothing to do with the finding of.

I'm 99% sure when making your post it brought up a list of threads THE EXACT SAME AS YOURS. Yet you still clicked 'Post' thinking it was a good idea.

Please kill yourself....

Please?

After a quick look at your threads, they aren't original either, are they? Rep is useless anways, it only shows a number right below your name, stop the paranoïa and post something useful instead of brainless flames.

Wait, what?

And comments like these make you sound like... well you get the point.

Surely he posted what you were going to post and now you are angry for not getting your daily E-Peen boost in the form of rep.

If you can make a video of the SB's(rank11) being 1.2 speed I might rep you but in all the test I have done over the last week it makes no diffirence on any cast less than 3 secs.
I just blew through 2 stacks of tonks and used your macro and everything and it made no difrirence what so ever to the cast time of rank11 SB.

I have seen the diffirence in Pyro and fire ball but not in SB or any cast you spam with a cast time lower than 3 secs base.


Some vids would be good................

Question, do you need to cast shadow bolt on purpose to make it work? Or would something like this work too:

/use steam tonk controller
/use 13
/cast searing pain

and then you spam shadow bolt. This is for non-destro locks and who want to spam 1.5 shadow bolts. But I don't know if this actually works.

[Creepfold]

hmm, first time i am reading a steamtonk treath, i liek this one on my warlock so +repz

PS: OMGZ paladins instant bubbleheart

/cast devine shield

/use Steam Tonk Controller
/cast Flash Heal
/use 13
/use Heartstone

!:P dont know if it works tough

Works too, your next spell will be 1.5s cast. I just chose sb rank 1 because it's 1.2s cast time (bit lower than the gcd).
