Yes? I'm doing better DPS than most people in shit gear. I was farming ore and herbs ridiculously to try and buy them, but have since stopped. I have 7 of the Primordial Saronites so far, and that's it. We're never going to be doing 25 man content anyways, so it doesn't much matter. It just was something I was wanting to do for myself that just isn't going to work out.
They have dropped to 1k per on my server. Its pretty rough to grind it up unless you were aleady around ~50k. Like I said, I went from about 50k gold to 10k gold, but I also had my mats ready the first day the wep was ready. I imagine now it would cost ~22-23k on a decent sever if you just spent straight gold. It will probably be in the area of 15k by mid-April.
They're at 1600 a pop at their cheapest on my server. It's hard to get the frost emblems with our shitty guild setup. We don't do 25s and we never raid the second night since we have to pug everything and no one shows up. I imagine I will most likely never even see Shadow's Edge, let alone Shadowmourne.
Well, you cannot get a shadomoune unless youre raiding 25 man. I guess the server I am on is actually a very good server. There are probably 5-6 ICC 25 man pugs, and my guilds ICC 25 pug can clear about 9/12 of ICC 25.
ICC will only be getting easier with the hellscream buff. I went from doing about ~11.5k DPS on a single target to about 12.3k~ with 5%. By the time gear improves and the buff climaxs at 30%, I am sure Ill be doing over 20k dps on a single target.
As for saronites, just save gold and wait for the price to decline. Eventually supply will exceed demand

Question about macros....
What I want to do is target an enemy, hit one button and the system will automagically cast Hunter's Mark and then keep firing Serpent Sting, Arcane Shot and Steady Shot as soon as they are cooled down until the target is dead.
I spent an hour playing with this until giving up with a headache....
Can this be done?

I checked that out and tried using them as a guide, but everything I tried would cast the H's M, but nothing after that.
I must be screwing up the syntax...
Well if you're looking for a macro that will just do everything for you, it won't work... because it won't allow you to do that. The system requires input and interaction. The best you could do would be to setup a castsequence macro with cooldowns that you just spam until the target it dead.
This one will mark Hunter's Mark and start Serpent Sting, as well as sending your pet in to attack and putting it on defensive
#showtooltip Hunter's Mark
/castsequence [button:2] Hunter's Mark; reset=5 Serpent Sting, Hunter's Mark
/stopmacro [button:2]
/petattack
/petdefensive
I personally don't use any type of castsequence macros for my normal abilities because I've never wanted to get into the habit of simply pressing two buttons over and over again without knowing exactly what I'm doing. Because there are situations where you have to think outside the box or adapt your rotations to fit a given situation.

You can actually get rid of that, if I'm remembering correctly it's referring to mouse button 2, or your right mouse button. You generally use something like that if you want it to do one thing by clicking the left button, and another by clicking the right mouse button. I didn't notice it when I copy/pasted it... I don't use those for the most part either, because I don't click, I have everything hotkeyed.
Sam talked to me about his plan for the macros... this is what I got together today morning... I know that SOME elements work... didn't figure out how to put in the cool time :dunno
To be honest I didn't yet get used to casting spells - I just fire away my regular arrows :unsure:
/petattack [target=target]
/cast Hunter's Mark
/castsequance Serpent Sting, Arcane Shot

You really shouldn't probably get in the habit of using castsequence macros. Most classes use priority-based DPS rotations. If you never get used to a rotation, your DPS will suffer.
This macro seems overly complicated for no reason. I am also not sure why it has a petattack and petdefensive. Seems to be redundant and/or annoying. If you wanted pet on passive or aggressive, by using this macro it is going to change it everytime. I am not even really sure why it is a cast sequence, since there is no reason to sequence in hunters mark. That macro honestly seems less efficent than
/cast hunter's mark
/cast serpent sting
/petattack
That macro is limited by a 5 second reset window (you have 5 seconds to cast serpent sting before it reverts back to assuming yourecasting hunters mark), where as a simple one listed above will just go without a reset, but it will cast it in order. The only downfall of the simple one is if you miss Hunters Mark.
Anyways, the macro you want may be doable, but I do not think it is capable to be done in one button, I could be incorrect though. Blizzard has taken a few steps to prevent macros which allow automatic functions to happen, such as the old decursive or the old whisper cast.
Oh, and just a thought for the other macro...
It is always assumed that you are indicating an action on your target, with the exception being if it is a helpful spell AND you have auto-self casting enabled. Essentially the [target=target] part of that macro isnt needed at all, since it will assume youre pet attacking the target. The reason the [target=xxxx] syntax exists is to cast abilities on mobs that you dont have tagetted, such as /cast [target=focus] spell name.
Anyways, I can help with some macro stuff, but not a ton. In other news though, I almost broke 13000 dps tonight on hardmode saurfang. I think I ended the fight at 12995 or 12997 :\

Oh and thats my druid whos been 80 for 5 days now. My tank gear is a bit better than my resto gear, but for the amount of time on that druid, my gear is pretty amazing.

Well, I've been playing off and on for four months. During that time I have reached level 57.
Leah has been playing for less than four weeks. During that time she has reached level 57.
Either she is leveling up like a maniac or I belong on the "Special Olympics Server". :surrender

That's okay, it took me from November until the end of June to level from 1-60 when I first started playing. :24:
