SECOND UPDATE: Krizzlybear at Frost is the New Black goes into more details on the cast time mechanic, and how this affects Mages. It’s probably safe to assume all warlock demons are affected, too. UPDATE: I don’t know how I missed this last night, but OutDPS had an article up earlier about how a similar bug is affecting Hunter pets. But one thing’s clear - if you’re a Destro warlock who cares about raid performance, you should macro your Imp’s Firebolts until this is fixed. I use shift+keyboard or shift+mouse binds for offensive instant cast spells, shift+alt+mouse or keyboard for not instant cast offensive spells. cast more testing to be done, both on different stances, demon minions, and special abilities. The two main group is the helping spell binds and the offensive spell binds and the two subgroup are the instant cast spell group and the channeling/casting time group. This should avoid error messages when the Imp is not available, and force cast each minion’s preferred attack.Īn excellent suggestion from the forums is to also modify the macro so it doesn’t switch targets to your current one, instead keeping the original pet target.

It is not known at this time if other pets are affected by this bug, but it’s easy enough to code around it if it is. If you run with multiple pets (say for PvP), you may want to make your attack macros pet-sensitive. Pretty simple, right? Do this for every one of your offensive spells, replacing Immolate with the appropriate spell name. You may want to include Curse of Doom in this list, too. This is a relatively simple fix if you are comfortable with macros, so it’s a good time to try them out if you’ve never done so before.Īt a bare minimum, your 4 primary offensive spells (Immolate, Conflagrate, Incinerate, Chaos Bolt) need to be supplemented with a macro that queues your Imp’s Firebolt for casting. If you’re not comfortable with macros, you may want to look at my Introduction to Macros and Warlock Macros posts. You’re going to have to solve this with macros. And you can’t micromanage your pets’ firing rate. Obviously, considering how many of your buffs are tied into the Imp, this can’t stand. If you don’t, they autocast every 2.14 seconds or so. If you spam the spell on the pet bar, the Firebolts fire every 2.0 seconds.
#Wow setting spell queue manual#
See, the bug only affects autocasted Firebolts, not manual ones. While small, this delay adds up over the course of a fight. So there’s a pause between each Firebolt as the WoW client communicates with the server. Seems if you leave your Imp on autocast, its Firebolt is affected by an old client-server casting bug that used to bedevil warlocks, especially with Immolate. You will have to press when you reload the game or reset your UI, but still handy none the less.So, here’s an interesting warlock bug that I didn’t know about. Well this gets rid of that, sadly this should be a button in game along side “turn off error speech”, but it not so here it is. You know the “spell not ready” or “out of range” text you see above your character. One last one, because the Red “error” text annoys me. Caution not recommended setting below 160, i personally have mine set at 250, just change the number at the end. Alternatively, you can exit wow, open the Config-cache.

This macro will let you change the Spell Que Window to whatever you desire. In-game, type the following /console SpellQueueWindow setting.

This first macro will show you current Spell Que Window setting. 1 Like Hoopi-ravencrest November 21, 2018, 1:16pm 2 -Type in the game - /console cvarreset (to make all the commands back to wow bfa default) -Close the game and delete cache folder from where your wow is installed. I do not think i need to explain how very helpful it is to match your MS to the in game SpellQue, or at the very least lower it. Note: this functionality is automatically baked into all. I am sure most are aware that the 400ms Spell Que lets you press a spell that is on cd about a half second before it available and “Que” it to auto-cast. This macro will cancel any queued spells and interrupt your current cast before casting a spell. Why is this important? If you are running 200MS keypress sofware, but the Que window is 400ms, you will be skipping over spells.
#Wow setting spell queue software#
To change the in game SpellQue to match your AHK, Synapse or whatever software you running KeyPress ms setting - you will need a macro. Blizzard sets the SpellQue window in game at 400ms.
