Default Dispatch, Battery, & Double Up

I'm just starting to get into some easy raids and am trying to maximize my DPS (yes, I saw the casting order thread).

Currently, I've got one macro with my debuffs:
1. Enfeeblement,
2. Blood Rake,
3. Dispatched (A3),
message to raid

then I'm auto'n for 17seconds

And then my 2nd macro hits:
4. Battery & Assault,
5. Double Up (A3)

I don't have my epic yet. I don't even have good fabled weapons yet. i.e. I'm still new to raiding. But my question is this--do you think that 17 second auto interval is ok? Or given my crappy weapons, should I just be outright spamming any CA that's refreshed?

And now that I'm thinking about it, my DPS is probably beside the point. I probably need to keep the mob debuffed as long as possible for the whole raid force.

You're wasting dbl up to start with. Dbl up will do up to 3 ca's if you are spec'd bottom agi line.

Never mind, it was a stupid question. I misread double-up. It's the previous 2 seconds of styles, not the previous 2 styles. ...that would be nice to use dispatch, wait for to go full duration, and then re-use it.

If you really read Pantz's Thread you should find all you need for dps.

You can only double the last 3 Ca's in the last 2 Seconds.
So you can't use dispatched then wait 17 sec and use double up to use it again.


If you have crapy weapons just spam and never waste 17 sec to stand at the mobs ass and watch your AA hits.

If I read that right, you have one macro that has 3 debuffs in it. Unless something has changed, you can only have 2 CAs:

1. Hit macro
2. CA1 goes off then immediately goes to CA2 (there is no pause).
3. CA2 gets qeue'd and since there is a CA being cast and one in the qeue, CA3 gets skipped.
4. Your Dispatched message goes off.
5. CA2 goes off once CA1 finishes casting. CA3 never gets cast.

I don't think this has changed, but since I haven't played with it since they put in macros, I may be wrong here, but something to think about.

na, CA1 will start casting, CA2 will get queued, CA3 will get queued (which unqueues CA2) and the result is that CA1 and CA3 will get cast.

Let me make sure i understand this correctly.... you cast your first macro, then you wait 17 seconds before you cast another CA?....... really? fo real?

na dude thats not right lol
