[mage] Possible always half-time-casting exploit

[mysticy]

Allright, i was spamming ritual of refreshment(new mage spell) for fun, and i saw that it can trigger the half-time spellcasting meta gem(dont remember the name), and possibly other "chance on spellcast" items, and it does'nt use mana/arcane powder at all when it triggers.

And the exploit part, was thinking a macro, but i'm not experienced in lua language, so i dont know how to make it, something like this to get the picture:

/run if [buff:something]==1
do SpellCastByName("Arcane Missiles")
else SpellCastByName("Ritual of Refreshment"),StopCasting
/press actionbutton2

That it spams ritual of refreshment until buff comes, and casts another spell.
If anyone could do that so it works, we could test it



And i came up with another idea
Making a guild with colorful name. I tried
/run BuyGuildCharter("\124cffff0000Raiders");
but it did'nt work, because it says "unappropriate characters", and came up with idea, with bypassing the "unappropriate characters", by doing it somelike this:
/run local i,g=\124cffff0000,BuyGuildCharter()g(i.."Raiders")g
So it has "Raiders" with appropriate characters, and link to the color code with ..i.. or something, so it would see it as appropriate.
But once again, i'm not good in lua or advanced WoW macros, so would need help again to make the script work

MSD is on a 45s hidden CD as of patch 2.3, it also has a much higher chance of proccing.

MSD=Mystical Skyfire Diamond? so that's the gem i presume.
I just yesterday got the buff 2 times in row, and that happened in maybe 6sec total. Dunno about detailed patch notes, but it did happen, so can't be 45s CD.

It is on a 45s internal CD. So you either have another haste item such as Quag's Eye or you're seeing things. Regardless if it did have a CD or not, it's useless as spamming Ritual of Refreshment is just a time waster as you could get other spells off in the time you're sitting there crossing your fingers for a haste proc.

I ment it that to put that macro on every spell, so it does it maybe many times in second, then instantly casts some spell after the buff is acquired. That would be good.
And no, i have no other haste item.

1) It is impossible to read buffs in macros and addons.
2) The gem is on a 45 sec internal CD. Procing twice in a row is extremely extremely unlikely.
3) You fail for using this gem.

Now this is no fun, will make fighting mages even harder :S
