Why use castsequence for AoE spells?
Castsequence macros help simplify your rotation by cycling through abilities with a single button press. This can be particularly useful for AoE, allowing you to focus more on positioning and movement.
Can I include utilities in my AoE macros?
Yes, you can integrate utility spells like Unending Breath or Demonic Gateway into separate macros. However, avoid cluttering your damage rotation macros with too many non-damage abilities.
How do I ensure my Rain of Fire hits correctly?
Using [@cursor] in your Rain of Fire macro ensures the ability casts instantly at your mouse cursor's location. This allows for quick placement without needing to click, improving response time in dynamic AoE encounters.
