So, I dropped BS for engineering. Mostly I did it for boots enchant, but I would really love activating my gloves on time.
To keep it simple, let's imagine a macro I would press each time Lunar Eclipse procs:
/use 10
/cast Starfire
Now, what happens to me, is that when i press this macro it all works perfectly, but if I am smashing buttons, like most of us do when dpsing, the gloves won't be used. Imagine you have 3 seconds left until your gloves come off CD. You begin smashing this macro non-stop, Starfires are cast, but gloves are never used, 5 seconds or even an hour later. I believe this happens because when I press macro gloves are unusable because my GCD is busy, but next spell is still qued and fired right after current one, so when i press macro next time it all repeats again
Currently as it is for me: I get lunar eclipse, I have go check if gloves are off CD (another thing to look at ain't doing good for overall dps), if they are on CD I continue to dps as usual, if they are off CD I have to make a pause after casting that last wrath, make sure gcd is over (my wrath is <1s) and only then press gloves macro. Please share your experience with me, or tell me what I'm doing wrong, as for now this was a dps loss profession for me (
