Val's Rising Waterfall Macro Guide for 38/26/2 (2 Hand)

[Valthirus]

My current gear:

My AP is very high which accounts for the big hits. 38.74% crit with flowing strikes in those parses.

I was critting a lot on RW... IMO these dummy parses really come down to RNG.

Props for bringing it out of the darkness

And thanks to Hawk/Valthirus for pumping out the parses and macros.

Great work all the way around guys!

I was testing out the 38/22/6 (and 2 RB which power starves you) and I found some easier ways to control your RW procs.
This is just an easier alternative to keeping off gcds out of your macros. Just hit Power Strike, spam your RW macro, then spam Power Strike to get off gcds on cooldown, and Fiery Burst. This way you are getting maximum use out of your off gcds while not sacrificing RW procs. Comment/Feedback welcome.

fixed macro for 10x easier rotation. just spam RW macro till rw goes off, then spam power strike macro til 3APs then spam finisher macro and start over.

also if i am not mistaken, you only want 1/3 grim satisfaction.

Away from computer for the weekend. I have t3 1H and a t2 2H, which do you guys think will win in DPS?

He told me about it once...in passing...a week or two ago.

I demand props by association.

I don't use macros on my warrior. Interesting. I would have never guessed this would be an issue for warriors who macro attacks. But it makes sense in retrospect when I would talk to other warriors about rotation.

puzzlebox is also eligible for said props because he talks on vent with a cellphone on the highway

I just recently decided to try and get more RW out of my macro spam as well but I came to a different conclusion:

Macro1:
cast rising waterfall
cast power strike

Macro 2:
cast frenzied strike
cast inescapable fury
cast flinching strike
cast rising waterfall
cast power strike

The idea is that I can spam macro 1 all day long and not mess up my rotation. When a reactive pops I can start mashing on macro 2, which will fire all of my reactives and if all are on CD or they all fire off it will act like my normal spam macro.

So I just keep an eye out for reactives, and when I see one proc I make sure I hit macro 2 ONLY after I land a RW. I still find I parse higher with 1 spam macro atm but I think with practice I'll do better with 2.

I find I still have a hard time effeciently weaving in my reactives + fiery burst while not messing up RW. I also feel like I'm leaving dps on the table because of unused APs and lost seconds on the cooldown for my reactives (that extra second or so i wait for RW before casting reactives is another second I'll be on CD for my next one).

Just out of curiosity, why can't we just include RW in the main macro instead of having separate?
